Please increase number of meritable weaponskills!

[Winrie]

I'm I'm favor of enhancing the weapon category to 5-6 not 3. As it is today as stated already most of these weaponskills are mandatory to have in higher lvl content, alongside needing these weaponskills to compensate not having a relic or empy for those jobs, the limit of 3 is foolish. Certain weaponskills such as shoha, resolution, upheaval, and say entropy are expected as well. Out of those listed only 3 of them and I'm capped! Now what about my drg, mnk, rng, dnc, thf, hell pup even ect. Please consider giving us 2-3 more! That would be amazing.

I know you want free dinner camate! Right right!? Convince them sir!!

Agreed, the number of merits allowed in the weaponskill category is far too few. This game was created on the foundation of one person can be anything and everything they want to be. To suddenly, a decade later, impose a restriction such as 3 fully merited weaponskills maximum is....jarring. Too many of the WS are required for their respective jobs. If i were to show up to an event as Samurai without Tachi: Shoha for example, I would be removed from the group instantly. I've geared up and leveled jobs that I can no longer play anymore because I don't have the ability to merit its weaponskill. It's very discouraging.

A developer once said the restriction was in place to make us "specialized", which I understand the thought process, but hindering our ability to play a class to its fullest is not the way to do it. Final Fantasy XI was created on the premise of not being specialized (again, the ability to level all jobs on one character). 3 fully-merited weaponskills just doesn't make sense.

More WS!
I'm in favor removing the limit entirely, because you can mainhand only one weapon at a time, but even just 2 more WS' would be improvement.

Not sure why saying, yes please 5 would be good and not overpowered. Being able to unlock all 20 would not be overpowered either and all 20 should be able to be unlocked, there really is no excuse not to. This excuse of trying to create a player that has only one or two prioritized job is crap because in the wave of content for 3 to 6 players you need at least 3-5 jobs to rotate depending on the content.

I cannot express with any words I know how much I agree with the OP. If I could "like" this thread a hundred times, it wouldn't be enough. YES PLEASE, 5 weapon skills fully merited.

Please stop with the 5 only, unlock all 20.

When you got to 66+ you could unlock all quested weaponskills if job leveled
When you got to 75 you could unlock all Nyzul weaponskills if job leveled.
At 99 you should be able to unlock all merited ws if job leveled.

It was not overpowered or unbalanced at 66
It was not overpowered or unbalanced at 75
it will not be overpowered or unbalanced at 99

NO EXCUSE
