Symon's Honeyclaws...What's the Word?

[NoctisUmbra]

You still get very high accuracy in full parties regardless of what you wear, so I think going for Honeyclaws is a no-brainer considering Electrum Rings exist. The raw damage from a weapon just trumps everything else by such a margin that I doubt any number of melds will make cobalt hit as hard.

As much as raw damage being the most important stat is true, being able to get a large amount of STR on HQ Cobalt Claws, which will have just barely less raw damage than the Honeyclaws, and also opening up your ring slots for 30-36 more STR I imagine can quite readily beat it out.

In the end though, only testing can prove conclusive.
