One-Handed Caster Weapons and Shields?

[basketofseals]

there's no way you can glamour one hand and shield on to two-hands, that's the problem.

(and having to scroll through multiple pages to find old topics doesn't make sense, that's why).

Any chance they could just mash some wand and shields into one item so that we can use them for glamour? I don't believe casters have any animation that effects the shield, so it shouldn't be that hard to implement?

Healers with shields look badass in my opinion.

Like I mean I know we have tanks and all that, but a wandering healer wouldn't just use a staff. They'd likely have a shield to protect themselves from oncoming arrows, spells, etc WHILE healing others. I always found healers with shields and something else (typically in old lore would be a sword not some magic item) to be super realistic and awesome.

I just like it a lot more. Like I love plate-cloth combinations like what dragon age 2 had stylized as it's end-game gear along with shields and some melee weapon on a healer.

Absolutely. I also like the ideal of my healer class getting added defense from wearing the shield.

Alot of people disliked the idea of the wand/shield combo. If they wanted the wand it should only be the wand and not a shield.

Probably should have just picked one job (whm or blm) to have wand + shield and let the other job have the 2h weapon.

Simply make weapon and shield in one item, like tank armour that cannot equip head gear.
Then solves everything, it will be one single item, but appears as 2 pieces on you when equipped. ^^;

nah... we're in a world that has magics. wizards don't need heavy armor or shield. we have magic shield like Protect, Stoneskin, Manawall/ward.

What I mean is only for glamour purpose if this gonna be developed for glamour, not become ilv 200+ weapon.

(JP forum looks more tidy so they no need to make other thread to discuss same topic)

This would work well for casters because they only have one type of shield.

PLD might have some trouble with this since they have 3 types of available shields.

Yes, thank for reminding about shield type. In fact I only suggested this for casters.

I know some ppl hate caster shields bcoz of how they work,
and some ppl like caster shields bcoz of how they look,
so I just think, SE can make new caster shield in this way, same work different look. ^^;

Actually, wizards in this world do wear armor. We just never got that option, but look at Ser Charibert. He's a wizard that has both cloth and armor.
