WAR Job Ability 90+: "Weapon Mastery"

[Kuwabaraone]

Well, you have to understand that prior to the release of other jobs, WAR is the ideal weapons specialist. Rather than have access to it as main, why not adjust it so that you have access to Weaponskills based on the Support Job used as WAR; that said, it would also cut damage ratio by half due to being from a Support Job as opposed to Main Job. Naturally Square Enix would be responsible for balancing and fine tuning, as it was meant to be.

This idea is HORRIBLE, stop pushing it.

LOL Then you must agree what WAR can do already is "horrifying" as well >< My ending line of my last post is the "idea" Leon. I don't care how the Devs accomplish it. ^^

"I simply ask that WAR continues to have a reasonable and fair outlet with these weapons as we move forward towards level 99. That is all."

[Leonlionheart]

I do agree that war is better than everyone else.

Why make it more so?

We don't use those weapons in the first place other than for procs; here's to hoping we don't have any more of those.

You do realize we're bound for level 99 right? ^^ The efficiency in each weapon will only continue to grow even if nothing was given to WAR for the rest of the ride I'm afraid. This fact can't be helped is my point, even without my suggestion for more access to WS's.

Unfortunately, as I mentioned above for lots of WARs, this is a true fact statistically speaking. It's not because a WAR cannot use other weapons effectively for DD'ing that many WARs don't use these other weapons, it's because they don't even try to use them to find out their potentials. I've out damaged a good handful of WARs that are using GA that don't even gear swap with a dagger. This isn't my opinion, it's happened on multiple occasions. It's just lack of testing and knowledge is all that's to blame.

K let me tell you their potentials in comparison to GA:

none

EDIT: Point is GA is the best in the game for damage output and there's no way around it. Even unlocking other WS for other weapons (Most of which WAR already has the best of (non empyrean) I.E. Vorpal Blade, Rampage, Penta Thrust, Ground Strike, Evisceration, Guillotine, Full Swing. WAR only really loses out on Hexa Strike and Asuran Fists for damage output WS's)

>< /stagger Hold on now, the argument on which weapon is the best to DD with has never been the point of this suggestion. I've never said that dagger or any other weapon is "better" than GA for WAR. The discussion at hand is bolstering the variety of options we have while using these other weapons.

Each weapon that a WAR can wield has great DD'ing potential due to WARs job design. ^^ All of the WS's you listed(except Guillotine) can be boosted while being used by WAR like no other job can. That's the potential I speak of.

[Leonlionheart]

well then why use anything other than GA?

The Freedom of Choice my friend! ^^

• Because we can, and because we have the potential to do it well.
• Because our JA's make other weapons do things no other job can do with them.
• It was designed to be so by Altana(aka the Devs).
• It's fun using multiple things to hit enemies with.
• Last point, but include different looking weapons in with it.^^

It's personal preference you're looking at with that question. If the only weapon you want to use is a GA when DD'ing, you have the choice to do. If you wanted to take out another weapon to DD with just because you caught the feeling(and know how to get the most out of it), well you have the choice of doing so as well.^^

If it's not as good, why do it?

I personally don't like choosing to be worse than I could be.
