Poll: What Type of Weapon(s) would you like added to Final Fantasy XIV? (Post ShB)

Link

Like the last poll I posted, this is based on a poll I did back during Heavensward.
Like with all my polls, I just do them for fun. >w> ♥

During the last poll: Rapiers were 2nd place (after Scythes), Katanas were 3rd, and Gunblades were 5th (after Whips).

Past Results

Also, I know Scepters/Wands are already in the game but seeing as we haven't had any knew ones since ARR and BLM and WHM exclusively use two-handed Rods and Staves since, they seem like free territory to me. >w>

With with 2-handed clubs/hammers. Though I'm also wanting a Rune Fencer class that uses aetherial blades

Hand bells. I am PRAYING.

Whips.

Balmung demands it.

Scythes plz

1 Katana was good. 2 would be even better.

Just anything blunt. We haven't gotten a new blunt weapon in....ever really.

We have Katana's and Rapiers! (Rdm is essentially a Rapier + Orb that makes a "staff" while casting.

What we need still is dual wield swords (Like ARR Raubahn, Nin is short dual dagger/katanas), hammers (Maybe Geomancer?) , dual pistols (Ranger), Scythes, Whips, Glaives (Double ended sword like FFIX Zidane endgame/ Gabranth FFXII) and Crossbows.

In addition to the ones I voted for; throwable potion vials for a chemist job, dual wield sai for nin, and the sword Omni uses (I'd take that on pld, or dual wield on a new job)

S c y t h e s

And add a Necromancer type of class to wield it.

YoshiP pls ♥

A spoon or a fork. Maybe maybe sporks

I went for poles/staves. I'm not really sure what class would use them but it could maybe be some sort of Geomancer that enhances their weapon with earth/water/wind to essentially be a melee ranged caster class.

Kind of like the Monkey King boss now that I think about it.

A little off topic, but honestly I wish they would abandon the 1 weapon tied to 1 class. We have the soul stones to mark what class we are playing. There could just as easily be something similar you start with that gets upgraded/replaced at 30.

I don’t necessarily mean give every class access to every weapon, but maybe allow a few options to let you spec horizontally instead of just materia.

I know this is basically impossible, but hey, could be interesting.

It's not impossible at all as that's basically how Scholar/Summoner works. The devs have said that this creates major problems on the back end, though, and it's supposedly something they are still struggling with to this day so they have pretty much axed the possibility of them doing the same sort of thing again. Personally, I would love to see this sort of system implemented further as well (break Warrior out into Tank and DPS variants as an example).

I mean, even if they forced primary standard weapons in duties, it would be nice to use a club or mace as WhM when running solo for extra DPS...

2H hammers for Warriors. Yes, Dwarfen Mythril hammer exists but we could use more (a lot more) They don't even have to recreate any animations. Just give us big hammers so i can smash things, dangit!

I mentioned before that I voted for hammers, I fell I should elaborate why.

1. As it stands MNK is the only Job that does blunt damage, so having another Job for that (especially as a tank) would help it out a little
2. the Hammer have been a weapon as much as it has been a tool, right now we only have the tool incarnation via certian offhands.

I also expressed an interest in ethereal blades, but that is more specific to Magic Knight-type jobs like spellblades and rune fencers.

This is, literally, the current NIN relic weapon

short sword + extra big/large shield for PLD

Tanks

1H lance/pike + Tower Shield
Gunlance (More MHW crossover pls. Also I've gone AFK while aggro'd with my gunlance tank build on MHW and come back to find the monster gave up trying to kill me and walked off)

Ranged physical DPS

Throwing cards/darts/dice (Gambler)
Handcannons (Per Flintlock FFTA2)

Magic DPS

Dedicated Wand user (WHM and BLM pretty much have phased wands out completely outside of really low levels)
Hand talisman (worn on hand as a magic focus. Could generate a blade of magic energy and be a fully melee magic DPS role that many wanted RDM to fill)

Melee Physical DPS (STR based)

War Scythe (Make this a DPS using heavier armor type that can share sets with DRG, I'd rather not have scythes as a caster weapon because then it just becomes a glorified stick with a blade on it.)
War Maul (Same as war scythe. heavier DPS that can share armor sets with DRG.)

Melee Physical (Dex Based)
Bo Staff
Tonfa

Healer

Dolls (bonus points if this is also attacks at range as a weapon by hopping out of your hands and running up to the enemy to smack it)
Paper talismans (the type most often seen used in movies/shows by eastern monks/priests/priestesses)

I'd love to see instruments. Flutes, lutes, harps, ..

Started playing LOTRO recently and damaging as well as healing by playing an instrument (lute/flute/..) with the Minstrel class is really cool imo.
