After careful consideration if AH price difference stays the same but no so more as the primary point I'll take this until Joyeuse over a WW Anelace. The dmg is higher. the delay is higher but doesn't matter, the price right now is @5k cheaper and its short 2 atk which doesn't matter either cause the dmg+3 more than makes up for that. a +2 would only be better. (Macuahuitl +1 for end game) (Joyeuse for exp/meripo) This until then being after War Sword/Hunting Sword. Still won't be on par with the DD's per hit but IMO on par over time until you factor in Weapon Skills. I.E DRK, SAM, DRG vs. PLD you hit for 45-50 dmg but twice in the time they hit for 100 dmg. Thats parfect enough for me. Now think of a Joyeuse, your now potentially hitting 2-4 times per their 1 hit. With the proper setup of a PLD DD you will be second to MNK>RNG cause their WS are way better than yours. Though Atonement with enough enmity causes ~700ish dmg per 100%TP so you need to weigh that out. and whats this y
