I have this, paid 500k for it on Bahamut server, and I love it frankly. The +18 MP is a nice extra boost when soloing and if someone had the gil to blow you could sub NIN and Dual Wield two of these to help offset the mp loss from using a NIN sub. Nice low delay and the +7 Parrying skill isn't bad either. I use this and my trusty Royal Guard's Fleuret (which I've had since lvl 55 and could never part with) when subbing NIN for skill up parties or other non-critical situations. No it's not Joyeuse but the time will come when a RDM who really wants Joyeuse can get it, this will fill in nicely till then.
