Sphirai Zenith or Hellish Claws? Why? Thanks.

pound for pound Sphairai is better, however based on your gear, if you are over the acc cap then claws are better. I would say that its better to find a way to lower your accuracy elsewhere so you can switch to the Sphairai (this is my opinion based on weights of each weapon.) In the end both are near equal though so don't sweat it.

That is simply not true. Sphairai adds ridiculous amounts of Skill Speed, whereas Hellish Claws offer better stats if you want to actually deal damage. Their only downside is lack of accuracy, which you can make up for by swapping around your other gear.

If you take the stat weight of Accuracy, you'll find before cap its most likely tied with if not just a bit better or worse than Strength. The point is though, the weapon with higher average "Score" is the better weapon. So is the weapon with more subpar secondary stats or the weapon with higher top tier Accuracy. Also just because it has Skill Speed isn't as effective as Det or Crit, doesn't mean its useless or worth 0 actual weight. All in all if you total up the stat weights for both weapons you will easily find that the Sphairai is better when under cap. Please keep in mind that this is when just comparing the two weapons. In a full set situation either item can come out on top based on available gear choices. (also I am not saying I know what the weight of accuracy is, no one does atm to my knowledge. However in all the MMOs i've played, these mandatory cap stats always have huge weights.)
