What Weapon Should A Blue Mage Use?

[Vahlnir]

For me it depends on the role.

If BLU was a caster or healer, I wouldn't really care.

If it's melee or tank, I'd like a mace or some kind of blunt weapon. The game has enough swords, let's get another blunt weapon user in there.

I can kind of see why people may want it as a tank because classic blue mage gets hit by spells to learn them. (Though many games have had other methods of learning the spells.) But I think a blue mage wearing Fending gear would look odd in a lot of cases, though that's just my two cents.

They'd probably need another gear type for them specifically, kinda like how DRG is still the only class with "maiming" gear.
