judge a enfeebling dual wielding sword tank!



Don't forget Mystic/Rune Knight as that is something that has been asked for a lot as well and one that I am really looking forward to seeing.
It was in FFXI, and it was terrible.....
Hope someone has some fresh ideas at SE for that job or it will be a big waste of time.

Damnit RIGht!!!! i got your back manYoshi more or less said that he wants to add whatever jobs people want.
A lot of people want to see ninja.
It will likely happen.
From what I have read popular jobs seem to be rdm, thf, nin, sam, drk, dnc, blu and musketeer (msk?). So fight for your job to be the first to be implemented.



It was in FFXI by name only, Rune Fencer.
What myself and others were hoping for was something that pulled more from the classic Mystic Knight and from Celes from FF6 (Her "class" was called Rune Knight).
THF/NIN seem to be the highest demand right now, so they're probably the first on the list. DRK/SAM/RDM are all close behind, so I wouldn't be surprised to see one of those first as well.
I'd fully accept Dancer, though. My toon is already as flamboyant as he can be (male BRD life </3), might as well. _-_
Lol.
I honestly don't think you're going to see any dual wielding classes in FFXIV.
You may get things like the Pugilist who have animations that use both hands, but I don't think we're likely to see any classes that actually utilize the offhand slot for a second weapon.
My main thought process is that it screws with the loot tables too much. Let's assume that you have a knife fighter that uses two daggers, one in each hand. It now takes twice as many attempts to get your drops to come down. in addition, how is potency judged? is it off the main hand, the off hand, both?
Logistically, there's just no real advantage to be gained here. I'm actually surprised that GLA, CNJ, and THM don't just have one weapon that comes with a matching shield, like the PLD Relic, except all linked to just 1 weapon slot.
In FFXIV 1.0, there was a reason for this. Shields had their own skills that you could learn and you could only use them if you equipped a shield. Very early on this caused a lot of problems for tanks while leveling and it was scrapped, the shield skills were moved into the weapons.

i know alot of ppl on ps 3 and it seem to suck on ps 3
I'm certain that those who are asking for a dw class don't care which slot its in, as long as there is a weapon in either hand. Monk is a good start but we all like animations of double sword, dont we?
I don't always pug, but when i do, it's with Pretty Ugly Guys
