    Bismark dropping i175 while you could get i180 from farming law and hunts was a poor move. Maybe they could've brought the 'Primal Focus' quest back exclusively for those two fights, so at least that way you'd get people running Bismark more than once.
    Maybe they'll bring it back with the 3.1 primal fight being the third and have i200 weaps be a reward for a new Primal Focus. I remember that Primal Focus WAR Axe looking so badass xD

    Every WAR I knew had to have Dual Hakken. I didn't even *like* WAR and Dual Hakken was one of the first Primal Focus weapons I got. That thing was lovely for its time.

    It was only relevant for about 6-7 weeks, though (which gave enough time for Esoterics to release and to actually acquire the weapons). That's generally been the trend with the EX Primals past the original three. They might be relevant at the very beginning of a new patch (and some of them, like Ramuh and Mog, not even then), but give it six weeks or so for things to shake out and they're usually relatively mediocre in terms of rewards again. It'd be nice for them to be compelling at the very least for the entire patch they're introduced in.
