Missing the point. We know its not in the game right now. We're wondering why that is, since the BLM Allagan wep requires it to be on par with relic+1, like every other allagan wep is except for BLM.

So, the new items are posted in Lodestone database. Granted the magic dmg is equivalent to a 2 handed weapon, we are still shafted on some stats by using scepter/sword+shield combo by 1-2 stat points in comparison to other classes 2 handed weapons. SE should at least add those 1-2 stat points to the weapon to at least be on par.

Example:
Allagan Smn book had same int+vit as allagan Blm scepter+shield prior 2.1. Now, Smn book is 1 stat ahead plus however many extra secondary stat points.

Very minute difference, not a game changer, but still pretty stupid if you ask me.

SE really should just get rid of BLMs having 1 handed weapons .... convert them all to 2 handed, get rid of the shields (I dunno turn them into tomes based on their item level? Or at least one handed weapons above level 70, since there is a level 70 shield and level 70 one handed).

There is no reason for the allagan scepter to be one handed, especially when the Relic, and the new primal 90 weapon isn't either.

I heard these were bought with Rowen a tokens. This isn't the case?

If not, yeah it seems dumb to give blm a 1 hand allagan wep with no allagan int shield.

It is, it costs you 2 tokens.

Necro thread from a month ago. Since EX primals are now a "thing" its obvious where this shield now drops from. As to the why behind it all, and the OP's original complaint about balance, who will ever know?
