What Weapon Should A Blue Mage Use?

[MicahZerrshia]

Scimitar just because they are beautiful weapons and we need another sword wielder that (hopefully) uses it. Maybe full on dual wielding Do'Urdan style.

I like rdm but it doesn't feel like a rdm, its too similar to blm, esp since the sword effectively becomes a pointy staff during casting and you can, and frankly many rdm do, just ignore the physical dps rotations. It also has no sword enhancement spells, no dots and no enfeebles. It's basically a blm with a bonus cure spell in a red tabard.

I am hoping blu doesn't go in the same direction. It's obviously not going to be as well done and beautifully complicated as it was in xi since this game is the most dumbed down ff title to date, aside from Mystic Quest but I really hope they let blu keep its identity in more than just aesthetics.

That's wishful thinking lol; we know that Yoshi P. and the way FFXIV is deigned we would never see anything along those lines. If anything I see the Blue Mage wielding something that will completely take us off guard... and Blue Magic and such would be learned from the main character that's part of the BLU story line. That will more than likely be a dude from Vana`diel that's going to mock us with that sexy old BLU Af =D.

But maybe not, I can always stay optimistic.
