Don't know if they'll implement hammers. Goldsmith's and Miners use them and I don't know how they factor in their armory system. The same thing with Scythes being tied to Botanists. Since a few DRK's would vouch for DRK's having scythes.

Bludgeoning damage is a rarity so that could be great. I've always been fond of the one Garlean guy that used Gunshields as a weapon.

I mean they've basically boggled it down to each class uses a single weapon and no other class can share. The shield being PLD exclusive HW and up being the key example. When before WHM/BLM could take shields as well.
