Then you ok well maybe a Mjollnir will be better but oh wait its another melee weapon for a WHM for crying out loud. SE what the hell do you think you're doing expecting a white mage to melee.
Wait a moment, this has already gotten out of hand.

1) Being WHM main, my first reaction upon looking at endgame weapons is "Huh, that'll speed up the stuff I do solo. And maybe some of the stuff I couldn't do solo before, I can now."

2) WHM can't equip Empy staff. Empy club... is kind of a waste of effort that actually would be better spent on a Mjollnir.

3) What do you mean "what the hell do you think you're doing expecting a WHM to melee"? How else are we going to get things killed when nobody else wants to do it? Nuke it? Riiiiiiiiiiight. We're going to melee it. We're going to bust out haste gear (since we get crap for accuracy gear, we might as well speed up the hits we are getting), throw on a pair of hammers, and beat the everloving crap out of it. We're going to unleash a ridiculous hellspawn composed of blunt damage and critical hits that other one-handed weapon users only dream of being able to control, because that's what we do.

And before you say "well, just do it on another job": congratulations, the point is way the hell off in the distance and you missed it entirely. We do it this way because it's an accomplishment doing things the hard way. Especially when people are like "there's no way you can do that, you're only a WHM".

That's right. I'm only a WHM. And I destroy lesser beings, like the naysayers, for a living.
