Relic Weapon for Base Class

[Dragonskin]

All Jobs use the same weapons as the base class. The problem is that the base class isn't nearly as useful by itself so everyone just runs the job instead. If we had a relic weapon for the base class... why would you use it? Your class will still be inferior to your Job due to the stats that job crystals grant.

The problem is that the base class isn't nearly as useful by itself so everyone just runs the job instead.

Because eventually there will be 7 more jobs added and if each job needs its own weapon there will be a shortage of chest space.

Because the base classes still have some benefits when it comes to solo play due to having access to cross-class abilities. eg. self-healing, being able to raise others without having to switch to cnj based class, ect.

Because there may eventually be additional importance placed upon those base jobs as new content is added... Such as more class quests.

Because if you are called to sync for a lower level dungeon for FC members, your job may not have less useful abilities open to them than your base class would have from cross-class skills (Thaumaturge,Archer,Warrior).

That's nice, but you are still lacking the stat specific bonuses that the Warrior crystal grants. How will you make up that gap?

If you're using a level 70 weapon to kill level 50 world trash, and getting annoyed because you're missing a few stat bonuses... I think you're missing something... Namely the fact that you can essentially run around with nothing but that level 70 weapon and crafting gear and still kill pretty much everything. People are already running CM in crafting gear just to Spirit Bind it. As long as the party doesn't have their head up their arse, it is still easy.
