Request for Future WHM/BLM PvP Weapons

[Xenosan]

^I would really like to see the PvP Weapons for BLM and WHM to be one-handed wands & staves. Also include a PvP Shield with +MND +INT that can be shared by the 2 classes.

Since 2.1 there hasn't really been much inclusions of 1 handed WHM & BLM wands + Shield, and when they were added they were never - or only briefly - BiS.

I think if PvP's best available gear for WHM/BLM were 1handed weapons + shield, that'd give a constant alternative to 2handed tome/raid gear - as patches and the gear treadmill continues to run. While they're not PVE BiS by any means, it would at least be a viable alternative to the lower tier tome weapons.

I really miss my ancient shield + allagan wand ; ;

Honestly, wands look like shit on WHMs due to the stance they take when they're in battle. The awkward keep-arms-and-hands-perfectly-still shit really needs to change, but it looks okay when you're holding a staff.

Really? I feel the opposite lol, it's the blm wand + shield that doesn't look as good as the 2hand .. depending on which weapon.

What I don't like about WHM 2handed stance is the staff is held sideways. Especially true with this new i180 pvp Griffin Staff. It's facing to the side.. not to the front..

I'm all for more options so no disagreement here, but as for the holding rod/staff sideways thing, you can do /changepose with your weapon drawn to change that.

1h + shield > 2h

same damage for more block chance, traded for lower chance of getting crit/det on both pieces

its a no brainer, the block amount is worth it

C'eve is there a WHM shield you can recommend for me for PVP? Just got up to lvl 50 recently on that, I couldn't find anything that was above i70 lvl sync for old FL. I'm guessing nothing new above the i150 sync for new FL?

there isnt any shield for lvl 60, but for lvl 50 the best you can get is tidal wave wand and shield from levi, good amount of crit but no det

Thanks! I had all these primal weapons I'd greeted over time for WHM, hit 50 and then I realized... oh damn... can't even glamour this to one hand for some reason. Best shield I'd found was darklight, didn't know there was a Levi one.
