    Prince Luzaf in FFXI DW a dagger and a sword if I remember correctly.

    Giving COR innate DW may open up different SJ choice for melee WS/TP. Such as ability to /WAR and still able to do melee WS/TP. Atm if you want to play COR like a 1h melee job, you have to /NIN or DNC, and will do much less dmg than other 1h melee job with innate DW such as BLU/WAR DNC/WAR etc since they can /WAR, on top of having better weapons and job trait for melee.

    There are also little practical use for melee COR/WAR due to lack of good melee weapons and good melee Job trait. A melee COR will be slightly weaker than other 1h melee job such as DNC BLU NIN or even THF. Most of the time if I'm meleeing and using dagger WS, I'm either fighting EP/DC mobs or lower tier VW, and benefiting pt member with haste samba/waltz. It opens up a new play style with /WAR, but since it's a support role job it probably still benefits the most from /DNC.

    Although innate DW and playing it like a melee job when you don't need /DNC haste samba/waltz is cool and all, it probably won't be anything that's very beneficial.
