Weapon Trouble!

I have been reading some threads lately and I have been wondering about my two healers. Ashe and Penelo. They are more or less just my healers and I am wondering if for my healer I should either use Staves or an actually weapon and what and for my mage(Penelo) shoule I use rods or should i use an actual weapon.

I have been pondering what I should do and hoping someone out there could help me. Fast responses would be appreciated so i can make up my mind and think about something else.

Hey I'm gonna move this to the Help Booth for ya. Make any topic here if you are having problems or questions about a game.

As for your weapons question, just add whatever you want. If you are going to occasionally attack with your healers, give them a good weapon too. I'm not really sure what the benefits of Staves and Rods are since I hardly ever use them, but go with what you want to.

I think rods give you better magic and magic defense.
I never use staves.

Staves give you better magic and some even give you MP. I say go with the staves. Yeah, they are not the best attack weapon but, in those time of need of White Magic it would be best to have high magic for more HP. =D.

That makes a lot of sense guys. Thanks a lot! I will stick with staves, and maybe rods.

I have not used Rods. You might want to check your tutorial that says "Arm Thyself" and read up on Rods.

Hey, I hardly ever worry about Magic defense and junk like that unless it's a boss I'm facing that has killer magic. But at the point of the game where I'm at (only facing Yiazmat and Omega still), I'm just focusing on physical attacks and brute strength to attack and protect myself with.

Well, My Mage (Vaan) has mage type armour and it increases his magic and magic defense. It's best for my mage. At least I think it is.

Armour does the most for me, I have poles for Ashe along with her mage armour and her magic is outstanding, same with penelo and she uses daggers along with mage armour. The armour does most of it imo in healing, I heal more than my max HP atm with them, if you're into attacking monsters hard with magick then I do advise rods

Why not just have all 3 attacking and healing
Works better for me rather than just having a healer or just having an attacker
