Two-handed Mace/Hammer, should it be MRD weapon or new job?

[Kemonologist]

Most of MRD and WAR animations match with Two-handed Mace/Hammer attack pattern. The biggest problem is damage output. It doesn't make sense for let it dealt slashing damage like axe. Is it possible for MRD use this weapon in future or they must create new job for it?

[Reinfeld]

I won't say it's impossible, but I highly doubt they would make any for marauder. At best they might make a blocky Axe someday.

I wouldn't mind a scythe-wielding class for a new melee, instead of more hammers.

I second this. Get my RWBY on, lol.

We already have that - Botanists!

Sorry, could not resist. Personally, I want a pole as weapon. Not a lance, a pole. No piercing, bludgeoning. For one, because the blunt resistance debuff right now is just sitting there, looking pretty, for another, because pole dancers, err...fighters are a nice fantasy.

It should obviously be WHM.

Why not both?

as for answering the topic, The thing is with a unique weapon being a requiseite for a new job, and the fact that only mages can "weaponize" objects not meant for war (see, Arcanist and Astrologian) it means that that WAR will not have hammers without limiting the available melee classes or that if a melee class that uses war-hammers is implemented after giving WAR-hammers they would have to take away these hammers like thy did with the Paladin knives.

Basically a Job with more than one weapon and Job diversity are mutually exclusive, and I;d think SE would liek to have all their options open for future expansions.

Any new weapon I think would be better for a new job. For Hammer and Two-Handed Mace i can see it on a Templar maybe a Vikibg type of sort too. They could be be very similar to PLD and WAR but thats the dev work to make them different

There's a certain antagonist that uses a hammer.
Seems pretty MRD-like to me in his attacks.

I don't want to come off as a shock to you, but he still has unique animations that make it quite a handful to give to players.
