Weaponry Selection

As a White Mage you get two different choices in weapons, you can either use a Club or a Staff. Normally, you would think to divide a weapons section showing what levels of each you would use. But to me that is unimportant, each weapon choice has its own merits. What it comes down to is what is best for your level and what you are looking to gain from your weapon. Therefor, I am dividing this section up into two sections:

1) Weapons you can use when you are Healing your party and/or when you are resting (You will want to program both of these weapons into a resting macro: See hMP Equipment Macros)
2) Weapons you can use if you are Meleeing/Soloing.

At lower levels it is considered all right for you, as a White Mage, to melee. Considering the lack of Spells you have, you might as well level your weapon of choice in your party as long as you are not neglecting your duties as the main healer. At higher levels though, it is considered unwise to melee in a normal Experience Point party situation, due to the enormous amount of Spells you have and your duty to Cure, Haste, Protect, Shell, Remove Status Effects via -Na Spells or Erase, and keep Bar- Spells on all of your party members.

Regardless, it is in your own best interest to keep your Staff and Club up as you go along. I say this becuase you will find having Club and Staff at level will benefit you greatly for when you go out to Solo and do other fun things. Hexa Strike is wonderful for Solo, Besieged and Ballista. Spirit Taker is great when you are Soloing or Power Leveling someone and you have been getting repeatedly hit, therefor gaining TP, and just want some relatively free MP back. And, since it is not in your or your party's best interest for you to be meleeing during the experience getting, it is advised to regularly attend Skill Up parties.

While I did not use all of these weapons myself, I feel that one should have an idea of what is out there. Each person has a different idea of what they want for their White Mage, so its only fair to include the other weapons as alternate choices to the obvious. I will BOLD the ones that I used myself. Also, I will color code further: the ones I used on my Hume I will make Eggplant Color and the ones I used on my Taru I will make make Trash Can Color. The ones I used/will use on both will when my Taru hits level be made Seaweed Color. I am not including what I used on Elvaan or Mithra seeing as I no longer can recall and it wouldn't be fair to guess at this point.
