Different weapons = Different playstyles

From the battle royale I can see we have a bunch of different weapons already. I assume the APOC weapons are not all weapon types in game as well. I think it would be amazing if all these weapons offered different playstyle options or special uses. For example, a whirwind-style attack for a fighter should be more effective with a spear than for example a small knife.
Also, I see mages/clerics have a few weapons that seem viable for them, namely:
Staff (More close combat oriented than the wand?)
Wand (Faster than the staff? opens up off-hand?)
Tome (Holds advanced and large spells? Off-hand weapon?
Scepter (Hold different and unique type of spell augments?)
Please make it so in the MMO these weapon types feel unique. Do not just put a bunch of stats on it and call it a day. Actually make the staff "feel" different than the wand etc.
What do you think? Should all weapons just be stat modifieres or should they offer unique gameplay diffrenences?

Tome for a bard = reciting poems
I can see that
Like the difference from dual wielding two daggers to two axes should be huge !
I can see a ork warrior doing that
An advanced weapon can have up to 5 weapon abilities.
Crafters can craft the weapon abilities that are on the weapon.
Some of the challenges that come with how weapons work with class abilities are:
A Tank cannot use Shield Bash while wielding a bow.
A Ranger cannot use Flame Line while wielding a sword.
