The eminent weapons aren't bad; in most cases, they're pretty darn good until you get something that's a little better, like an augmented WKR weapon, or a Delve weapon.

The last time I did Tojiil, (or attempted such), my SAM came in second for DPS above the 2-3 other mnks and the RNG in the party, and I had really crappy gear plus the eminent GKT.
