When Rapiers are implemented, remember one thing

[Wynn]

I hope if fencer does come to XIV they leave it void of any heal spells. Let the magic swordsman do what it was meant to do. Fight monsters with a magicked sword.

*blink* Wait, there people other than me out there that want Red Mage to use a rapier for magic-coated combat? Color me surprised. XD

On topic, I agree on the Fencer class having their own stance and selection of abilities. It needs to reflect the elegance associated to the rapier. Would be awesome if they also implemented the option to offhand a dagger to act as a main gauche.

If they made RDM the way RDM was supposed to be, FFXIV would be more even more redmagefantasyXIV than XI was.

I, for one, would be on the bandwagon.

A fighter mage class designed with fighter mage mechanics and a magic fencer-type weapon in mind suddenly becoming popular? Naw. >.>

I was mostly talking about in general because it always irked me the way the Rapier (or Epee for those specific people :P) were handled in XI lol. Since it's inevtible they'll get around to adding Rapier class weapons since the long/broad/scimitar can only go so far.

And we agree with you. Rapiers, Epee and Sabers need their own animations, which will (hopefully) most likely be a consequence of the Fencer class being added.
