    Looks like future one-handed weapons are a no go.

    Just in case anyone missed it:

    Q: There have been hardly any new one-handed conjurer's or thaumaturge's arms for a while. What’s the reason for this?

    A: Hayashi: Throughout the 2.X series, there was gear that was originally intended to be added during version 1.0, and since they were added without any changes made, there are one-handed versions of some weapons. In general, with the exception of paladin, each job has one weapon associated with it, and we’d like to continue implementing weapons in this way.

    With one-handed weapons, we set parameters based on when shield and weapon are equipped together; so individually, the performance values per single unit are lower in comparison with other weapons. Also, there's the added issue, when weapons are added to content rewards for example, of having to obtain both pieces in order for the item level to go up. For these reasons, we decided on only two-handed weapons for conjurer and thaumaturge.

    Regarding the “Malevolent Mogwand”, which is one of the popular weapons that players would like to glamour but are unable to because the weapon is one-handed, a two-handed version with the same design has been created and we plan to introduce this in 3.2. Please provide us with opinions and feedback on any current one-handed weapon which you would like to see as two-handed.
    Which is a shame... there are some nice one handed weapons that I don't think will get converted versions.

    While I still do wish I could have a shield on a White Mage (just looks better imo), I wonder however if they will allow trading in a Malevolent Moggle Mogwand and other one handed weapons into their two handed versions.

    Still at least its nice to hear they at least know people want to use them

    Awww shields look so good though... Staffs can be kind of generic so some variety is always nice but looks like they already made up their minds.

    The weapons can still be in use tho but for a different job. Example make geomancer use wands most look like branches anyways so it fits. They could just add another item to it and make it use the same weapon slot like ninja. In my option they should do the same with paladin just put them in the same weapon slot. Example wands and bells could be use for geomancy. Scepters could be used my a necro/void mage by way could they use in the off hands daggers maybe. Small question I thought we could glamour multi pace gear? Would this apply to wands aswell?

    They could also work out a system where we could glamour a 1h/oh over a 2 handed weapon.

    I imagine its because if they still allow you to use one handed weapons - you could also still use a shield. If so and if a one handed wand was as strong as a two handed cane then you would always go for one handed weapon and the best shield you can still get.

    Would be better as said above just to allow one handed vanity on two handed weapons.
