Different types of weapons for classes.

I think it would be kind of cool if classes had like 2 weapon choices. Like how CNJ can choose between a 2h staff, or wand and shield. Maybe it would be like a series of quests for your class to learn a new weapon. Skills would be the same though. Like for example, a crossbow or bow, nunchucks for monk. A staff for lancer. A whip would be cool also...no idea what class that would work for though.

They took those out, I THINK because there were issues with either balancing the two weapons or drops(ie, like PLD's Shield/Sword). I forget what the said reason was.

IF they did add new weapons(especially if they're drastically different) then they'd have to revamp the animations. Though there are times I'd kind of like a mace-type weapon for my PLD...

They could equip wand and shield and is been removed. It creates problems for the general progression an BiS... Also that's a way liberal use of the word cool.

I think it would be kind of cool if you posted your idea in this thread: Future Ideas thread for 4.00 Stormblood and beyond/Quality of Life http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ality-of-Life.

Yes. But you'll notice very soon that they don't exist above a certain level.

But the person said they were removed, which they have not. It looks like 50 for the highest shield and 56 for the highest wand.

I wish they gave each race a different stance when a weapon is drawn, similar to FFXI. The image below is the difference races as MNK when their weapons drawn:

I honestly miss the 1h wand+shield on WHM and BLM. It's a shame they discontinued that concept.

I posted this myself but someone i ran with made a good point, balancing issues. take my PLD one handed axe and shield idea. Axes would up the damage yes but it just wouldn't fit the lore.
