BLM weapons

[(:Destiny:)]

what weapons do BLMs use in the game?

[Nodoka]

Clubs and Staves. Staves do more damage and are mostly used for farming. Clubs give more MND and INT bonuses, and is prefered in a party (since you dont be doing melee).

Yeah... skeleton BLM can use a scythe, why not us... :dead:

Staves and clubs are the ones. Even though BLMs aren't supposed to melee, you might want to get the club proficiency up because it has a few WS that boost MP and stuff. Very nifty in a tight spot. I'm not sure what the WS for staff are, but I don't think they are as useful because a mage isn't suppoesd to melee.

I do a lot of this as well. I call it Power Leveling a weapon.

I've taken Axe, Dagger, and Great Axe to Lv.100 to make it easier on my leveling of other jobs. So now when I level a job, as soon as I hit a level where that skill caps for the Weapon Skill, I have immediate access to it. I really started doing this since I was using a Sword to level THF. Well I'll want Viper Bite at Lv.31 as soon as I can get it. So I just went ahead and Power Leveled Dagger as DRK/NIN and now I don't have to worry.

Exp party: Club with +INT stats to level 51. There after Elemental Staves(outside Light, 7 total), nothing can compare.

BLMs, outside parties, can use scythes(only two made for them, not counting that Rune one), but usually stick with clubs and staves. Their clubs suck and only a handful of staves do par damage. SE made WHM so much better at meleeing for whatever reason .

Why on earth do people keep resurrecting these threads that are so old you can smell the decay? In this case, this thread is *17 months* old. Oy.

For anyone reading this topic now, yes, BLMs can in fact use some Scythes now, and there's even a couple of swords that BLMs can wield (Colichemarde comes to mind), though BLMs have no base skill with swords.

Generally speaking, BLMs use wands in XP parties up until level 51, at which point BLMs operate almost exclusively with elemental staves.

Re: BLM weapons

I agree with Icemage. When I made that post up there nobody had staves. :3 Ice was 500k+ and Dark staff was 600k+ (nqs, mind you).

I was dissapointed (again) when I found out I couldn't learn Guillotine.
