Moogle Fists

[Lavieh]

Cobalt claws would only surpass Ifrits/Mog if you had some wicked melds that brought you close too or at the Cobalt claws DPS stat cap, but if your that far behind on stats you should be investing more into your STR and INT gear and/or purchase/obtain some Giantsgall Claws to meld instead because they have much better DPS and higher stat caps than the Cobalt Claws.

Actually its quite the opposite.

Ifrit or Moogle are really only viable if you have wicked melds everywhere else since the stat caps are higher but you can reach higher STR and have very similar DPS values on HQ Cobalts meaning the caps aren't that far apart. And if you have the money to afford good melds on gloves/ pants then you most likely have the money to afford Giantsgall which far superior to all three mentioned.
