In addition to skilling up throwing and marksmanship I decided to work on hand-to-hand and sword as well. My main is 50THF/25WAR,NIN,RNG. I picked up a pair of these and equipped them for a ram hunt.
The Defense Down effect kicked in at least 3 times against Lumbering Lampert and at least once per fight against normal rams. I'm psyched to have picked up a pair of these claws. Even way under cap I hit a sneak attack plus combo on Rampaging Ram for over 250 damage.
I missed both my Corrosive Kukri (<3) and my THF/MNK days so this weapon is gonna be ideal for pounding Wights for skillups at Qufim.
