    Magian Weapons are broken down into 4 groups, two of them are elemental paths and weaponskill paths. Those are the simple, more generic paths (no NM kill lists, don't have to have a relic/mythic to modify, etc). These are too restrictive on which jobs can use them. For instance, look at the staff trials:

    http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Staff_Trials

    You can make a Store TP staff (Sedikutchi) that is only usable by BLM/SMN/SCH, or an elemental staff with stats like STR/ATT bonus, AGL/EVA bonus, or VIT/-Physical Damage Taken Bonus that are only equipable by BLM/WHM/RDM/SMN/SCH--but not MNK, WAR, PLD etc. Those melee jobs are more likely to use these weapons than mages, but cannot. And these jobs DO use a staff routinely for certain tasks. They can equip the Pole of Trials, and gain native access to weaponskills like Retribution (quested), as well as the two used to proc !! on Abyssea NM's--Sunburst and Earth Crusher. They also gain native access to Cataclysm, which is very useful in Abyssea among other things. They SHOULD have access to some of these magian weapons, but currently do not.

    As one of the few SMN that has these staves, and one of the only players in the game with full staff merits, I say wait your turn. Before you get to play with my weapons, give me your WS. No, BLM and SCH won't melee, but SMN does. As soon as SE recognizes the job that SHOULD be the staff master, I'm OK with the wannabe PLD, WAR and MNK joining us.

    My question was, "what are you talking about?" I do not want to hear about your entitlement to staffs because you have staff merits.

    Just like any good suggestions in the RDM thread get applied to SCH.
