Can GNB/DNC have some kind of weapon for Eureka? Something for BA runs

I AM NOT ASKING FOR THEM TO IMPLEMENT A EUREKA RELIC FOR GNB/DNC. I AM ASKING FOR SOME KIND OF EQUIVALENT WEAPON FOR USE IN BA/EUREKA.

with that out of the way, i just think it'd be nice since if you reeeeally want to play gnb or dnc in eureka/baldesion arsenal, you're at a significant disadvantage since you cannot get a weapon that will provide elemental bonuses. i'm aware that the armor is useable by gnb and dnc which is fine, but it would just be nice if gnb and dnc could get that extra bit of oomph from a fully upgraded weapon

Seems like GNB/DNC weapons are just a pain to find in general. There's barely any of them in the 61-70 content.

I already tried some time ago> http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...hy-it-s-needed.

Yeah, they didn't understand that we ARE NOT ASKING FOR A RELIC, we just want weapons with elemental bonuses as a reward for BA to be on par with other Jobs that have this advantage with their weapons.

The weapons used in BA are essentially relic weapons—to get the elemental bonuses on the weapons, one has to complete the entire relic weapon process first.

They’ve never added previous relics to new jobs before, so it’s unlikely that they would do this for GNB/DNC based on that precedent alone.

Since Eureka ilvl are synced to ilv 300, these weapons don't need to have more than ilvl 300, and thus not needing to be a relic weapon.
It's such a easy fix. Just slap a normal weapon with the stats of ilvl 300 and Elemental stat.

And then all the newly-played Dancers can dance and pull trash through the walls in the elemental rooms. :rolleyes:

Nope, the only thing we need is...

Well there certainly aren't as many in that range as the old jobs. But you do have:

Crafted weapons for that range.
Dungeon weapons for that range in the SB leveling dungeons.
A set of pvp weapons.
Shire weapons.
POTD/HoH weapons
Scaevan weapon.
Ryumaki weapon.
Omega weapon
I think a blacksmith weapon that you can't trade have to double check that one later.

There are some gaps of course, especially with primal weapons, but I don't feel like gnb/dnc weapons are as lacking as people make it out either.

Sort of off-topic, but they really are lacking when it comes to weapon models, especially when looking at the 60-70 range. While that list may seem substantial, you have to take into account that a lot of them share weapon models.
The amount of unique weapons in that level range, assuming they created the weapon models for the ShB level range first (which is likely, but still an assumption), isn't that high.

Take GNB for example:
The Shire, Shisui, Doma Castle, Scaevan, Omega weapons are unique, along with the lvl 60/62/66 crafted weapons. The rest of the weapons either re-use a weapon model from the ShB level range, or re-use a weapon model from the 60-70 range.
That's 8 unique models outside of the ShB content ones.
