FFXIV 2.0 and Weapons?

[Eclipse]

Since we already know guns are coming, can we get some Maces in here? It's like a sword except it crushes bones!

There we go, give Summoner that! Why not? >.> Or perhaps the above post was more suited to some sort of bone crushing barbaric class...

I think only Beastmaster (tamer) should be able to equip whips. (huge FF5 fan)
And summoner, well..im not sure...a spellbook maybe, or a Grand staff?

And i dont mean those regular sticks, maybe some deformed cool
looking rare wood staves, maybe with some crustal ball, gem inside it.
(kinda like the Elemental staves in FFXI, each summon should
have their own staff for the summoner to equip)

I think summoner deserves a weapon that is comprised of elegance, and does not necessarily have to be a weapon that looks like it can inflict harm of any kind (though it should) as they are a summoner and summon avatars or creatures to do their fighting.

Some of the ideas I like and have heard are:
1. Glowing Orb (1 Handed or 1H)
- Though if they are not using a giant glowing orb ball thing, where would they put it or would it be like /display mh off?

2. Ribbon Stick (1H)
- A graceful and elegant display of dancing to summon up your creature to fight by your side. Not to be mistaken as a whip.

3. Dagger (1H)
- No classes assigned to a dagger, yet.

4. Sai (2H)
- Then again, if we got a Ninja job, what would they use? Answer: Katana!!!
Besides wouldn't a summoner in an Obi with some Sai look adorable! <3
Used best with one on both hands.

5. Hoola Hoop (2H)
- Okay something shaped like a Hoola Hoop that spins so fast and can slice enemies in half and returns... I guess that would be like that Xena Warrior Princess weapon... but bigger. Hmm so maybe limited ranged. If your a summoner it's not like you want to be that up close and personal.

6. Umbrella (1H)
- Something more along the lines of a... well this!

7. Wrap or Shawl (2H)
- Comes to life when your in active mode and looks pretty too >.>;

(No I am not grasping at straws!)

8. Tonfa (2H)
- No room for shields here, these are best used in pairs!
