Weapon Suggestion?

[Faluzure]

I've been playing as a BLM for 2 weeks now and have a decent array of spells & equipment. However, there are times when you run out of mana and have to use a weapon.

Right now I've been using a 2-handed staff and that's the only weapon type I've ever used. I also noticed I could get 1-handed clubs (which includes rods, clubs, wands, etc.) Anyone who has been or is currently a high lvl BLM, do you suggest 1-handed clubs over 2-handed staves?

Any comments would be appreciated!

I try to never melee, so I use a wand. I have a nice hermit's wand that has two int and maybe hitpoints, I forget. The best thing it has 25% decrease in spell interruption. That alone makes it rock. I see a pretty noticeable difference when using it.

I am not a high level but I like my two handed staff. Right now I have a Ash Staff and it adds +2 HP and +2 MP which surprisingly comes in very handy.

There are a number of good wands that come from both shops and crafters that boost INT and MND at the same time. These are wonderful for a blm/whm. Also keep in mind that crafters will sometimes sell +1 versions of these wands that are slightly more effective as weapons and get an additional +1 to INT and MND over their normal bonus. So, for example, if you get a Maple Wand +1, youv'e got a level 1 weapon that boosts INT and MND by +2 each(the normal Maple Wand only boosts INT and MND by +1 each). These +1 wands are usually rather expensive, but I love them.

Right now I am going with staffs out of the simple reason that they directly add to your MP and well.... they look cool.:spin:
