Got ya... just a little ribbing....

to the point of the OP.... DPS would be a great indicator if all damage was done by auto-attacking

for instance....

Ifrit's Claws
Damage 131
Delay 3.3
DPS 39.7

Garuda's Talons
Damage 115
Delay 2.8
DPS 41.1

Also Ifrit boosts ATK while Garuda boosts ACC

And thats all fine and good if the only damage you did was auto-attack

but since the Ifrit also boosts weaponskills, which can't be determined by DPS and aren't directly affected by delay (Especially when you've got TP song and invigorate) then isn't the value of the Garuda talons diminished?
