Goes for BLM and WHM. There's currently two-handed and one-handed weapons... which the support for one-handers pretty much ended with Leviathan. (even sooner for BLMs)
However, there's still one-handed primal weapons for both classes. These are crafted (ex Levi for WHM), and look pretty awesome... and are currently completely dormant because we cannot glamour our Lunaris Rods into Inferno Cudgels.
I, for one, do enjoy the idea of having a small cudgel as my black mage conduit over a clunky big staff. Any possibility SE could accommodate us there? Hoped it was the case when multi-slot gear was "fixed" to work as glamour...!

First off there is no one handed staffs, they are wands completely different weapon type.
I don't agree with glamouring 2 handed staff to a 1 handed wand and vice versa. Would be like glamouring a lance onto a sword completely different weapons, does not make any sense. -
11-27-2015, 12:07 AMColorfulNo, it wouldn't. They'd have to remake every animation for your example, whereas the wands already have animations for the skills. I don't play DoM, but +1. It would be nice to get similar things for Ninjas with the ability to glamour two different daggers, but I know that's never going to happen, ever. :(Quote:

It's ~MAGIC~, it doesn't need to make sense.
For casters, the animations for both types are exactly the same. What's the problem there?
Happen to know where I can let them know I really want the Inferno Cudgel as a two-handed staff/rod/whatever? :DQuote:

Just remove them & reintroduce them later with jobs that will actually utilize them like you did daggers for GLA/PLD. -
11-27-2015, 04:11 AMAshkendorI was told that the wand/shield thing for blm/whm was basically a relic of 1.0 (because shields had their own skills tied to them or something?) and they haven't bothered removing the items, but they're only adding 2 handed staves from here on out.Quote:

During 1.0 it was removed and all the skills were rolled into GLD directly, but leaving THM and CNJ with the ability to equip shields but no associated skills.. This was all done in prep for Jobs (specifically PLD) being added.Quote:

I honestly blame it on XIV's poorly change job system. No one can deny that XI allowed for many great setups and looks despite not having a glamour system and being a 10+ year old game.
SE should link the Job change to just the Soul Gems and have the 1.x/2.x Classes use one wep type. I know they have a limited staffing and time frame but this is getting a bit redundant with all these limitations they use as a scapegoat. -
11-27-2015, 04:28 AMMilesSaintboroguhAnd that is why some things just come out horrible because of this mindset.Quote:

i agree on this, pls add glamours for this, i have from lightning event a mog wand for blm that i would like to glamour and a belladona wand for whm , vanille's weapon that i would like to use as a glamour as well, pls se make this happen, i have no idea what are their use at all or why you added them in the 1st place, if u added 2 slot glamour for a chest piece add it for this, to the rest of the people if you don't like it don't use it, simple as that, why would you care. I ask you again SE why did you add lightning returns weapons if you knew that whms and blm won't use them?

11-27-2015, 05:33 AMNo2631Right, but when you use magic to change the appearance of a weapon, it really doesn't need to make sense why you can or cannot make a two-handed staff seem like a one-handed staff; especially when both weapons are wielded one-handed! In that case, it's magical glamour. It doesn't make sense that it can make children appear as floating eyes any more than it makes sense to make a scepter look like a staff.Quote:

Yeah, the wands and staves don't even have different animations... it's pretty ridiculous.

I've wanted this too :( I prefer using a one handed weapon as a BLM it just feels better
-
11-27-2015, 06:39 AMFelisExcept if you parry something. Then your character hold the 2-hand staff on both hands.Quote:

To add to that, I'll be nice if we could equip shields again

Yes please. No work needed other than changing that name from "one-handed" to "two-handed" or even just "weapon", so you don't need to make a new weapon at all, swap whatever bit of data that does that and so on... then voila, all them weapons no longer are one-hand restricted.
Why they decided to make a "two-handed version of the Mogwand" is beyond me... they don't need to do that at all, it's like they want to add more work than needed to these things I swear. Stop making more unnecessary hoops and holes for yourselves, please!
And they do for one-handed too. Who cares... and like somebody else posted, there's way more absurd things out there like floating a LNC weapon when casting cure and so on.Quote:
