which weapon?

[Silvano]

Are there tests to prove this? STR/PIE gear vs. Crit Gear. If Crit Gear is proven better, I made a set for that also.

. . . I don't know which is better. If you have gear focused on capping, the flame spear supplements that gear the best. If you use a crit set, the Garuda's Beak is more beneficial to that set. So if you use capping gear, use the flamer. If you use crit gear, use the beak.

Ifrits Harpoon DPS: 39.73

or

Double Melded Hart DPS: 36.48
+33 Strength, +7 Acc, +15 Atk

Not sure if the DPS lost through ifrit is worth hitting 333 in Str.
(Piety is 291) Think i've hit soft cap with current DPS and will put out more damage this way?

Garudas Beak > Lieutenants Spear > Ifrit's Harpoon/Melded weapons.

I need to just get a parser lol.

[Hyrist]

I'd actually not worry over it until 2.0 at this point.

Parsers are out of date and don't support multi-hit WSes

and the entire premise of gear's effect on performance is going to be overhauled in A Realm Reborn anyways.

Its hard not to let stuff like this bother me until then. It's nagging at me in the back of my head. Lol. They just had to make everything so complicated didn't they.

There are some crazy changes going on Madrox, Like Hyrist said, I'd relax until 2.0 about parsers/weapons...especially materia melded ones. They are revamping that system and apparently won't be as powerful as they are now.

Get all of them, or better yet get Relic.

I'm sure if he had access to the relic he wouldn't even bother with asking these questions

[Kagato]

The Lt weapons aren't equal to one another at all. Why are they grouped as one group?
