    Please add jobs with weapon skill quests to elemental/weaponskill path magian weapons

    I've started seeing more in-game chat about this issue. Seriously...just look at some of them:

    Scythe: DRK
    Club: WHM
    Polearm: DRG
    Great Axe: WAR
    Polearm: DRG
    Axe: WAR/BST
    Great Sword: PLD/DRK
    Sword: RDM/PLD/BLU
    Dagger: THF/BRD/DNC
    Staff: WHM/BLM/RDM/SMN/SCH

    It just doesn't make much sense that some jobs that routinely use some of these weapons (and can proc !! on Abyssea NM's with them) can't use these magian weapons. At the very least, if a job can natively use the quested weaponskills (in short, can equip a <weapon> of Trials), they should be able to equip the elemental/weaponskill path magian weapons (STR/ATT and Store TP Bonus, etc) as well. I can understand the restrictions on the specialized weapons (Relic/Mythic and Physical/Empyrean), but having these restrictions on the more generic elemental/weaponskill path weapons just doesn't make much sense.

    Preferably, I'd like to see jobs with a decent skill rank added as discussed in an older thread
    (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...magian+weapons), but I think adding jobs with the quested weapon skills is a fair compromise.

    However, if that is judged to be too unbalanced, perhaps maybe adding just the jobs with native access to the new 290/300 level weaponskills (Cataclysm, Fell Cleave) could be another consideration.
