What Weapon Should A Blue Mage Use?

[Astarotha]

i know im gonna get a ton of backlash for this, but honestly i kinda wish the 5.0 classes would start from 30 again, that way i still get a full story establishing the class before i get dumped into the high level story like ram and sam had (still salty though the absolutely excellent 30-50 drk storyline isnt rewatchable at the unending journey), but i do realise both putting the new classes in the hw areas was a fairly large hurdle people had to cross so putting sam and ram in uldah means you dont have to reach 4.x to start, and it meant you had to grind that class from 30 when you had been 50+ before (however the whole keeping all new classes within arr areas sidesteps that partially but not fully due to the whole 'also mustve completed prae first' bit)

hopefully they can somewhat lengthen the 5.0 50-60 stories to accomodate for more lore before going into the 60-80 stories

also im really hoping for whip since itd be a neat new moveset to see, 1h sword is in use, 2h hammer could always be part of war or drk glam, gunblade is prime for magitek knight being the 2nd maim user, daggers are already in use, rod was in use at one point, brush sounds cool but i dont think they could avoid it ending up looking too much like blam
