One-Handed Caster Weapons and Shields?

[KokonoeAiyoko]

We haven't seen any since Leviathan and crafted primal weapons, was there a reason for this? I found the one handed weapons pretty cool, especially having a shield as Healer and would like to see more.

Imagine if they made the new WHM relic weapon a wand and shield.

That would be pretty sweet.

Petty sure they stopped them so you didn't need Shields to drop so that you could upgrade your weapon and to stream line the system for casters unlike pld they don't always have a shield so it made upgrades a bit tricker when you got a better ilvl one hand but no shield you couldn't do anything without taking a hit to your stats and I don't think there were that many caster Shields to choose from which made it worse

One handed caster weapons were the worst. Imagine getting your bis only to learn it was 1 weapon damage and 2 of your main stat worse than everyone else. I wish they'd go back and change all them all to two handed so they could be used for glamor.

There were actually plenty of shields leveling up, it was only until endgame where there weren't many options. Idk about you guys but I like options.

the shields were there as a carry over from 1.0 when shield was its own class in iteself called sentinel. Since it doesn't exist any more and there was no need bar glamour it was stopped, thats why it suddenly endded at end game

Sentinel, sounds interesting?

options never existed. when SE decides to have a one-hand wand & shield, they replaced the 2-handed cane/staff in that set completely.

if you want one-handed wand & shield, tell SE to have equivalent 2-handed cane/staff for us to choose, which I don't think they will do it.
