So, Fafnir

[Tsuneo]

I still get 25% haste with enough STP to get 20~21 TP per hit, and I only lose, what, 4 STR/DEX and 22 attack per hit. I know that 22 attack is what, ~17 damage per hit, but being able to WS faster makes up for it. I really like my 5 hit, played with it somewhat last night, and didn't notice the missing damage that much. I think that losing ~80 damage per WS is better than losing 1 WS out of 5 from having to add a hit. When I get my Moonshade Earring and add Regain on it, I will be really close to a 4 hit (not quite making it, but still). Kindof wish that they added STP as a possibilty.

On a side note, the slow effect on Ukko's Fury, I noticed it to be very potent. Anyone know the slow % yet?

When you 5-hit Ukon, you sacrifice more than just haste. You lose Double Attack as well as the other stats you mentioned. With a high rate of double attack you are more than likely going to have TP overflow, which is going to make a 5-hit less effective than a 6-hit.
