goodbye Relic Weapon :(

Finally, we have Mandau. The STR modifier on Mercy Stroke and the +35 Attack on the dagger itself make it fairly strong for THF outside abyssea.

If all you are doing is spamming evisceration or dancing edge then yes it's better, although in that case it's also weak compared to what almost any other job can do. If you are using SA and TA then Rudra's Storm stomps Mercy Stroke inside or outside abyssea.

Actually, Rudra's is only significantly better with SA. This is because SA is influenced by Dex and the mod of Rudra's is DEX.

The unique nature of the (90) Relic's +25% damage bonus seems to be applied to the end result of a WS, meaning it boosts the SA/TA damage boost and extra hits from DA/TA. There's also the 35atk for the pDIF. Mandau (90) and Mercy Stroke should generally make Rudra's its bitch outside of Abyssea barring you sitting on your TP.
