White Mage - Main Weapon Change - 2handed hammer

[CelestaRosa]

White-mage now has 4 elementals added too their kit

Life Element- represents wildness. growth of plantlife. - this why you transform a staff made from wood into a hammer basically wood manulation
Water Element
Stone Element
Wind Element


Main-weapon - Living Weapon - white mages hands are known give life to all it touches. when a white mages wields a staff. end of the staff transform into two handed hammer of life/light. giving it more of gaia type feel watch would match white mage a lot. ability change appearence of your weapon with power of the life element. would be awesome. still

if you guys never played final fantasy 1 white-mages used 2handed hammers it was apart of their weaponry. does it change how you play currently no only thing changes is new wicked animations when cast your spells. this been something been bothing me for a whilte whms and blms techically have 2 same type weapons. when pictures of gaia came up. no one asked maybe that is new white mage? new white weapon in general

this could make some really cool casting animations with their current spells. specially when cast stone. giving it different feel then other two healers

like animation having spell. that when strike ground with your hammer. flowers and life blooms and heals all those under it. or using wind or stone elements to actually instead of damaging makes a target move swift like the wind. or rise pillar of stone. lift up your allie have that pillar crash on enemy while giving allie a gap closer. lot of things you can do. or lift stone wall from the ground to block incoming attack shatter your allies stuff like or knock bunch of your allies in the air to avoid attack better form of rescue

Though hammers were also used to deal actual physical damage in older FF games, granted not a ton, but it was still much more than WHM in XIV would ever be able to deal. So saying that, a hammer for WHM in this game would probably be purely cosmetic, it would be a weapon type better going to a DPS or tank so it gets more usage.

I would however be open to WHM having a long range type staff/rod that throws elemental blasts or a wind-based racket as seen in IX.

Stop making threads and consolidate all your ideas into just one. Jesus H Christ this is annoying.

sadly they keep giving bladed weapons to tank. we have not yet seen a frail. mace or war-hammer like weapon always results in swords. not saying their bad mind you. or do mean like enchant your staff and be able to fire protectiles with auto-attacks from distance

does every healer they make have be a caster?

I always hoped one of the final stages of a White Mage's relic would be a hammer as a nice throwback. I'm not sure if I'd want every weapon retconned into a hammer, though. I'm very fond of staves.

see thats thing also very fond of staffs and dont want to see them go either. but like would be nice like if you where casting stone or something you changed staff into hammer then slammed it on the ground. still be a staff what trying say. giving white mage cool cosmantic casting animations.


lot cool things note this just rough idea thou. you would think a white mage would have power over nature . like roots of trees. and transmutation of some-sort ability transform objects what they desire them to be with help elements their alot of ideas they can possible do using what white mage has as tool kit. question is why haven't they . its not hard to be creative make make something work
