Anima Weapon...should I bother?

[Ayerinn]

While this is true, anima stats will likely be way better than any dungeon gear until 66-67. It was the same when HW dropped, iirc. Zeta weapon stats were more desirable for a decent chunk of the leveling process. They might do it differently this time around, it's possible. But I'm predicting that this trend will be the same in SB.

sure - but all that work for a few hours of use while leveling though? I mean, if you have literally nothing else to spend your time on in the next few weeks - why not.
