Would have loved to see more weapon types for dancer.

Yes Chakrams is their primary motifs, however it would have been fantastic to get more throwing weapons such as kunai, shuriken, boomerangs and fans to spice things up.

It finally looked like they were starting to spice things up with the 90 artefact set that actually comes with a fanned throwing knife, but we are right back to 99 shades of dinner plate.

Rob Ninja for their Fuma Shurikens, they don't need em anymore.

The problem is the way the hands are when holding weapons is static and the animations show circular glowing discs.

They initially said DNC would get boomerangs when it was first revealed at fanfest.
But I imagine the issue is the way they're held, sort of dangling from a loose grip, wouldn't really work unless the boomerangs had a handle or something.

The "thrown chakrams are a glowing disk" shouldn't be an issue, anything is going to look like a disk when it's spinning at such a high rpm.

Except that is a non-issue as seen with the Terpsichore (dagger/fan) and even a lot of the circular weapons. They aren't spinning outside of throws. All that is needed is a hole to hold the finger in.

Thinking about it, I think Monks get the most diversity in the game in regards to weapons. Of course there's punchy things but there's claws, tonfas, even extendable hand-swords.

Would be neat to see every class have that level of diversity. Sure an axe is great but how about a greathammer? That'd be neat too.

As for Dancers, I'm not seeing too much reason as to why they can't throw different things. Just have the weapon held in a way that matches the idle animation: Multiple throwing knives in hand, handle for a boomerang, etc.

[Sacae]

Pretty sure the new WAR raid weapon is a big ol' hammer.

kunai and shuriken can stay on ninja, keep that s-word away from dancer.

Dancers need fans....

hammers and different mnk weapons work because they dont make the animation look weird. you only have to look as far as eddas scythe on dragoon to see an example of a cool weapon type not quite looking right.

if they could make weapons that work right for dnc im all for it though, dont misunderstand.
