ok so i am working on the str,attack weapon and on mount Z i look over to a new member and see a pup/sam there and was like wtf why, reasons he stated
self-skillchain,store-tp,third-eye also says that he does the same damage as /war
i couldnt figure out how could someone explain this to me or is he just another I'm a moron?

In my honest opinion, he's an idiot. the whole reason people sub sam is for Hasso, Seigan, Meditate, and Third Eye and Sekkinoki. We lose the ability to use Hasso and Seigan since we use h2h weapons and that means the usefulness of Third Eye is also quite low. Now that means we basically get Sekkinoki and Meditate from /sam. Sure if you're impressed by weaponskill numbers it's a fun idea, however, we use h2h. H2h is NOT about weaponskill numbers we get most of our damage from our TP phase DoT. So yea you'll be able to do alot of weaponskills for what...1000-3000 depending on if you're in Abyssea or not. Yes you will SEE big numbers from the weaponskills still, but that doesn't mean your actually doing more damage than you can do with another sub such as war.

I'm sure some of the higher ranking members on the site can be more specific. But I'm pretty sure I'm right. If not...then I guess I should stop playing PUP. XP

I'm cranking out 1400 Stringing pummels without /sam
All it can really offer is quicker WS's (meditate) as well as the occasional Zanshin proc... but using Pizza I miss so rarely.

So the question is does Sekkinoki to stop the occasional Tp waste, Store TP and Meditate compare to the loss of Double Attack, Attack Bonus, Berserk and Warcry

Faster WS Vs DoT.

Now... if they ever made H2H a true 2handed weapon (or... 1 handed weapon) things might be a whole lot different.
