More Interesting Dancer Weapons PLEASE!

[Palslow]

I love playing Dancer, I love the buff it provides and the skill graphics. The mechanics is also quite interesting.

But my problem is that the dancer weapon selection is so limited and uninteresting compare to all other jobs (apart from machinist maybe). The Dancer weapon design is almost like an afterthought.

I am not a hardcore play and I don't know how to get the ultimate shinny weapon, but at least the game should provide some more interesting Dancer weapon for casual players.....after all, dancer is a showy job and needs some showy weapon to match...looking at the market board or dancer weapons from the dungeons, they are boring and dark and tiny, most of them don't even have colours, just a black circle.

Please game developers, provide more interesting Dancer Weapon designs. The current design is quite bad and so BORING! Spice it up a bit Please I beg you!

Any examples? Many of them are pretty good and fit glams well. At least in my opinion

Stuff like the level 90 artifact weapon, that looks like aerodynamic daggers.

Fans, for once... Pains me that 2 xpacs in, the DNC job haven't seen a proper fan yet.

here some inspiration for the Senor Sabotender weapon:

What's a proper fan? Each of DNC's four Fan Dances have a unique animation with their emphasized fans in full display. This was undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for DNC in ShB who wanted fans for their primary weapons and got Chakrams instead, so I have absolutely no idea what you mean by "proper fan".

If by proper, you mean having fans as a main weapon, well that's not going to happen. They could give us Chakrams that take on the appearance of fans, and I think this could actually work, but it wouldn't be a 'proper' fan. Just a fan that behaves like a chakram. The same can be said for ribbons like what rhythm gymnasts use. I am totally on board for either of these glamours for chakrams.

I would definitely like to see more varying styles, that look like they can actually be used...not a Katar shaped one, or whatever the Blade's one is supposed to be with that antenna. It's kind of hard to do that though with Chakrams, other than adding details to the circle itself(cross bars for gripping and such)

The first time I saw their weapons I remembered FFVIII Rinoa's weapon design. Maybe, it came from there? dunno...
Anyway, they should use weapons that are similar to that ribbon-like instrument at the Olympics, see?

During the dances, the ribbons form beautiful movements in the air and helps in the art of dance.

Current weapons are props practically unconnected with dance, in fact. They look more like mere weights that dancers must keep lifting. '-'

Ribbons would be nice—but I don’t know how they’d get them to work in terms of structure to make them not horribly stiff and clip through your character with every other movement. The ShB AF gear butt ribbons already do that with certain poses if you pause /gpose in the right spot.


I’d personally like to see fans as a weapon for the job. I think they’d fit aesthetically when I consider what the DNC AF gear looks like. So far, the only weapons I’ve found that I like are Titania’s weapons from her EX trial. Even the TEA and new DRU weapons aren’t that stellar—DRU is at least better than TEA, because why they picked the ugliest model for the TEA weapon I have no idea. The first glowing stage of the ShB relic was also nice.

True!

I didn't thought about that '-'

It would be a mess after a while xD
But, a beautiful mess. Especially if the ribbons leaves a glowing trail like some DRK weaponskills.

Is that the Laws Order one? I think that one was my favourite out of all the DNC weapons we've received to date

Pardofelis from Honkai Impact 3rd wears chakrams, make those so people can cosplay as her for example.
