Getting native DW would be incredibly overpowered for the job, even at DW 1 I'd consider it going into the overpowered realm. The only time I could see it being of benefit without making BST over powered is in VW where /WAR would be appealing because BST wouldn't get DD buffs.

The only time Fencer would ever pull ahead for BST (even at WAR's current Tier V) is when you're not /NIN or /DNC and are able to melee. In the current FFXI world I can think of 2 situations where that would apply; "for fun" and if you're soloing Armed Gears as BST/SCH. You just give up too much to make Fencer work over Dual Wield.
