One handed Relic weapon for WHM & BLM

[melflomil]

Do you think that Yoshi will give the ability to change our relic from two handed staff to a one handed staff and shield? I prefer the one handed weapon for both class because it looks better. Even though the shield will be kind of be weak (i've blocked about 15% of damage on my BLM) i think it should be an option.

If not give more options of one hand weapons and shield at higher levels.

What do you guys THINK of this idea? Nay or Yay

Myself, as WHM, I prefer Two-handed staff, I like to have a big weapon, I'm like this (on a prefer game, was playoing a Slayer with a greatsword for exemple)
But yeah, more choises whould be nice, nut it's hard to make it balance.

Not really.
If you break up the stats of the 2h weapon between 1h/shield, the only advantage of the shield becomes the ability to block.
Given the block rate on shields THM/CNJ can use now, it's not saving you from anything. The day I see a near party wipe on Titan saved by a BLM who blocked Mountain Buster, I'll saw my own fucking head off on Stickam.

Personally, I vote yes for this.
It's not about the raw size, it's the application of your member.

That would be awsome for WHM at least. I just don't prefer 1handed weapons on BLMs. But I think that if whm/blm gets new "relics" the other jobs should get new weapons too with a diferent design.

Dual wield wands & scepters!

/vote!

That idea is legit.
Regardless of whether THM/CNJ have 1h/shield or 2h options while leveling, we should just invent new weapons for every class so it's "fair".

Can my WAR start punching things now?
With bricks.
Bricks with spikes.

Having a wand and a buckler would be awesome for WHM . So old school FF. A flute like Eiko in FF9 would be a pretty cool relic for WHM too.

It wouldn't be a new relic. It will be the same weapon, just a choice to get a scepter/wand and shield. Both classes can already equip a shield and one handed weapon. I was thinking that Master's G's workshop can modify the weapon and basically just split the essence in half.

There's a huge advantage if it's crafted; twice as many materia slots. But crafted weapons with full melds will never be as powerful as a top weapon from 2 major patches back.

lol I'm the opposite xD I love the look of 1 handed weapons on my WHM, and would like to use Mog's or Levi's staff, but my Animus is much more powerful than any 1h weapon, so I have no choice... Give us the ability to "minimize" our Thyrus or let us glamour 1h on 2h, anything! Please.
