Amy i have come to the conclusion that you arent a very intelligent person so im not gonna even get into details as to why ifrits is better.

Sorry, but Ifrit's is better, and not just because of "str vs. attack".
Holy shit since when did people who think something else is better incite so much hatred?
Oh wait this is the FFXIV forum. Instead of ad hominem attacks on my IQ why don't you come back with a better reason than "because I said you're stupid". Until then, have fun.
Holy shi... and you people call me stupid. Auto attack damage is not comparable to weapon skill damage, period. STR increases your WS damage by a considerable amount while damage adds to your auto attack damage how are you not getting this? If you pick which weapon alone is stronger then the winner goes to the +1 crafted with decent double STR materia.
As far as my other post about Pie vs Crit Attack that was already covered earlier in this thread.

Read later in the thread about testing on damage and dps of a weapon etc.
Oh man those Garuda weapons. Suck low base damage must really hurt your stat caps. They are terrible aren't they?

There could in all honesty just be a flaw in his formula. I haven't looked at that post since he first made it and his sample size was pretty small. I wouldn't really take that thread as solid fact unless it's been peer reviewed or cross referenced.
