Wands - please normalize those WHM/BLM weapons

[Raikai]

Since Evercold is shaking things up, I'd love if all the ARR wands could be converted and labeled everything as just "WHM/BLM arms" without the 1h/2h designators.

There's this noticeable cool collection of wands that never see the light of the day because it's discontinued after ARR, and even a detail that there are wands for sale in the Cash Shop that are unusuable for most of the game's lifecycle.

The animations are pretty much the same of the staves, except wands sheathe on the waist instead, so there wouldn't be an issue. Shields would probably be killed along the way, but I'd think it's a fair price to be able to use them - besides the shields for CNJ/THM are pretty bland to begin with.

I'd love to be able to use shields on blm/whm too. purely cosmetic, but i'd love a cleric look for my whm

[CyberNettrix]

Yeah I'd love to have a weapon difference between Whm and Blm. Or at least the glam option!

[Sunhwapark]

It would be cool to have.
At the moment you can only really do that in PvP because of the equalized stats.

Ah, didn't think of this! Thanks for letting me know. (Still, quite a very niche existence for them)

Fun (sad) story:

Back in my old sprout days, I chose to play the game as a CNJ/WHM and was looking in the cash shop for some cool weapon that I could keep with me to glam whenever I had a new one. Chose Vanille's wand because it looked cool, and I even noticed the disclaimer that couldn't be glammed over 2h weapons, but didn't pay much mind into it because I couldn't ever think that past ARR we'd never see a wand anymore as alternative to staves.

So the weapon is there getting dust in my Armoire ever since. It was just a couple of dollars, but still frustrating to get something from the cash shop that is almost unusable.

I would like to be able to cast stupefy on my enemies as well.

Bozja is also another place you can use those 1h wands and won’t suffer drawbacks at all besides unwanted blocking in DRS at certain point.
