Indeed, that makes sense, and while the extra DW hit certainly applies, I currently offhand an Isador which offers no attack bonuses.

I get +8 DEX from my current spell selection, and all the gear my BLU uses to WS, my PLD uses the same things.

I'll admit that my BLU is horribly under geared, which is what baffles me even more considering how optimized my PLD is.
