Oh my lord yes lol.

<3 you Tonrak.

There was one MMO I played where Templar Knights (which would be this game's Paladin) could use Greatswords, swords, and Maces. Guess which one 99% of them used though? Maces all the time because all the other weapons were not worth using. If a Monk could use a slashing or piercing weapon they would never touch their blunt weapons again. If a Machinist had the choice of using guns that dealt blunt damage no good MCH would pick it over one that did piercing damage. And if they added clubs to the warrior class that dealt blunt damage that would also be useless.

It's sooooo hard to balance. Classes are hard to balance, let alone trying to balance out different weapons for one class.

My suggestion is that weapons change be cosmetic only. It seems I was not clear.

I'm perfectly fine with including visual variants to weapons, but if possible I'd also like for it to change the sound effects associated with them as well. For example, as someone mentioned earlier, a MCH weapon that was skinned as a crossbow would be nice, but some of the MCH attacks make too much of a "boom" to really work with that weapon......

Then I started thinking about other classes that could benefit from such an addition. Monks using tonfa and Warriors using a hammer came right to mind. I just think it would be fun to have a couple such weapons as Glamour options for classes they made sense for. Maybe as Golden Saucer or crafted level 1 Glamour items?

what you are asking is what should have been done in the first place. Monks for example should have had blunt weapons but lately all they get are "piercing" weapons like the patas or even the mnk zodiac. War can have hammers as Nero uses a gun "hammer" as his weapon but uses the same move sets as the warrior.
