I just can't see the hive weapon being that high of a difference as such I'm being more critical on myself.

Hive Musketoon Item
Physical Damage: 65
Magic Damage: 50
Delay: 2.64
Auto-Attack: 57.2
DPS: 21.67

Kunitomo Kai
Physical Damage: 63
Magic Damage: 49
Delay: 2.64
Auto-Attack: 55.44
DPS: 21
2 weapon damage is a lot, it also has 8 more DEX and 10 more VIT and a ton more SS. We don't know how much DET is worth because it was apparently severely nerfed in 3.0, so it's likely that the DET difference in the two weapons is a lot less than the SS, Dex, and WD differences total.

So go for the Hive weapon or stop complaining about how your DPS is lower than other MCH's.
