    GNB has so few weapon options for Glamour

    This is a Glamour Rant, so if that’s not your thing just click out now

    Gunbreaker & to lesser extent Dancer have had so few glamour options compared to last expansions Red Mage and Samurai and it’s baffling

    To compare, the Stormblood jobs had all Primal gear including Shiva and Leviathan shiny versions, Dreadwyrm gear at 50. Early HW Doman Gear, Eikon Gear, Shire gear, and the 60s Primal gear including Warring triad and Nidhogg And all Raid gear from 60 (Gordias, Midan, Alexandrian) before you even start Stormblood.

    Shadowbringer Jobs got..at 60 Zero Primal gear, No Eikon gear, No Early Doman gear, No Raid Gear only the base weapon Shire and Coven from Diadem are available compared to ridiculous options from the previous expansion. At 70 No raid gear except Omega, no Ala Migan gear, No Lost allag gear and yet again zero Primal gear besides Shinryu atm (this most likely subject to change due to shiny glam forms coming soon but why even hold off on them like this?)

    I don’t know about Dancer but it doesn’t help that most of the GNB are underwhelming. Some are plainly just swords like the Crystarium and the freaking ULTIMATE ONE anarachy! Which is a copy paste of the crafted one which was a copy paste of the forgiven 79 dungeon drop!

    I doubt this will be fixed, but hopefully next expansion won’t have such bleek options.

    I feel those are for the sake of the rest of the jobs, can’t release new Glow weapons with the 2 newest classes lacking then. Similar case as to why Rdm and Sam get dreadwyrm weapons. Because of ultimate. They couldn’t repeat the process with Alexander for some reason they used phase 2 relic weapons (considering 4 jobs don’t have it) instead of alexandrain raid weapons

    did they even go back and use the glowing models to make regular shinryu gunblade/glaive weapons?

    I'm very happy with the latest tome weapon tbh, so the lack of weapon glam doesn't bother me too much right now. The lack of weapon models in general is pretty bad though, I think nigh on everything has already been recycled once already.
