Black Mage, and White Mage End game weapons...please change one of these!

Please make Black Mage/White Mage End Game Weapon a rod with Shield, like the very First Coil.

I just don't like it being lumped in with a WHM Staff. Seperate the two, please just for the sake of making it unique to each.

It would give the diversity (Glamour Options), and I personally think it will be fantastic! (Hopefully some others will too).

p.s. If you agree please like, this way it will get the Developers attention.

What the really need to do is let people glamour a one handed weapon over a two handed one. Then we can all be happy. I personally don't like the one handed mage weapons but that in no way entitles me to have what I like and you not to.

I wouldn't mind whm getting some block rates, since they rip hate from the tank so much.

I don't want to farm for both a weapon and a shield.

At least staves are large enough so see clearly. SMN and SCH share weapons (obviously) and have the hardest weapon to make unique models. As a SMN main I'm totally jealous of SCH's Last Resort relic weapon. I actually wish that SMN used staves as well.

Because getting two loots is harder than getting one loot. I hope you aren't seriously comparing the utility of a shield on a Paladin vs a Caster/Healer.

I wish they would have kept that design choice.

No thanks, I don't like the way characters hold the wand with shield in this game.

I rather much liked the Ancient Buckler so perhaps :)

No thanks. I had enough of storing ancient buckler in my inventory for 4 months.
Just keep to 2 handed weapon.

WHM should be the 1hand+offhand job not BLM. A BLM without a staff is just kind of odd in my opinion. While a WHM with a mace/club+ shield/offhand just fits. Also the offhand doesnt NEED to be a shield. There are many thematic options that could be visual or non visual. Gathers and Crafters dont show their offhands while in combat a WHM could have an offhand that does not have a visual either.
