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.
