Alternate weapons/masteries for classes? Class that only uses a big shield?

Was there a class like this? I looked through the swordsman and some have large shields but everyone of them uses a sword.

Also, is there info on whether or not classes will have alternate weapons? I understand that Sapper is a form of Archer…but I would like other options, especially if all my skills revolve around explosions. Some kind of diversity. But I guess this would just be more work on the dev’s parts. But it is nice to have advantages to different types of weapons/weapon mastering.

Shield Masters are Peltasta and Rodelero class

Yeah, I did see those classes I believe…both use the sword I think.

And yes thank you @Masumasu that’s what I meant. Oh well, I’ll find something else to play. I hope maybe they will release a class that uses a book as a weapon. Aesthetic decisions are a big part of why I pick certain classes sometimes, haha.

Using a big shield or two shield would very impractical and much less efficient that using an actual weapon, they are not only used to block but they don’t really do any damage.

Have a class that only use round shield and fist(or gauntlet) and then name your character Captain America.

FFXIV 2 gun shield lol

Tell that to captain America.

There’s a bunch of ways as to how dual shields can work though. Like being a human cannonball.

Captain America would still perform better and look less silly with an actual weapon.

Doesn’t necessarily need to be dual shields, would prefer 1 large shield personally…

Or something like…

Shield Knight from Shovel Knight!

@Gharvar I know there is at least 1 shield bash skill, and I think there’s also a shield charge skill…There’s a class that allows you to astral project, is using a shield as your weapon really that bad? lol

Eh, I don’t care if it’s a thing they put in the game, it just looks silly and impractical to me, I love vikings and murmillo gladiators so I know a shield is a weapon in its own way but only using a shield just seems quite silly, but again, just my opinion, I don’t mean to make yours seem less important, it’s just the way I see the weapon choice hehe.
