I was wondering when I can start dual weilding these for multiple trials? I am on just starting my x200 shining blade trials, and I went to the splintery chest, and still cannot grab another to begun my burning blade on.

So, do I have to finish with circle blade, and begin my second tier, is this when I can grab my 2nd machaera?


Was thinking be nice to dual weild 2 tp swords.

dmg 51 delay 236 tp +11 isnt gimp.

it doesnt fit into the box of na with str or jp with macc.so you will get weird looks wearing it.

I won't say who, but this was mentioned. Finish the first complete trial off (the Whole Store Tp Trial), then go back to the beginning and go up to least the trial before last, before it becomes a +1,

http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Trial_1962

I do not have to follow both JP and NA standards b.c many blues have it, perhaps I perfer to blaze my own path, and have my own reasons for Store Tp Build... ; )

It's less gimp than Perdu and
Code
Firmament +1
[Main] All Races
DPS: 1189 DMG:45 Delay:227 STR+4 VIT+4
LV 77 WAR RDM PLD DRK BLU COR

And I'd honestly do the WSDMG +10% sword <.< but that's just me. I have STR and DEX swords already :X

Thanks for backing me up.. everyone has their own opinion and ways of playing this. Again, thanks for the show of support.

Wel... in your case, I'd still do the WSDMG+10% sword. It's much less work than the store tp path too.
And 51 base damage is a very high increase over slayer swords

I'm gonna build a WS+10% dmg one personally for Sanguine build with OaT2-3 sword... Sanguine is an insane WS that if built right is awesome.

I don't play BLU, but I see DEX swords as being an asset. The large bonus in ACC from dual wielding two would make room for Acuben's, Tiercel, and other gear you wouldn't generally use in your TP set because you need ACC that you can't get elsewhere. (I know nothing about BLU, don't eat me D:)

Better off with strx2 imo. Very rare to run outta MP in abyssea, should be casting more often than TPing to 100 for SB and the str will enhance SB as well.

I use STR/DEX, but it wouldn't really change if I used STR X2.
OAThrice sword is horrible, don't do it.

Irrelevant arguement, we might not pay your monthly fees, but you don't pay (the now) £169 to gimp everyone else by being gimp.

I meant accuracy-wise; I TP in acubens, tiercel, and an STR ring
I did DEX sword because flans were a PITA before, but now they're really easy....

blu is not all about epeen numbers...you can tank on blu too if you build right, WHILE you DD...and keeping up your HP with sanguine isn't a bad idea

No ***..? What is the point of spamming SB then, you obviously thought it would be "epeen numbers". I am talking about dealing the most dmg and staying alive. You will gain more benefit from the strx2 through spell casting and also with SB over the oat2-3 sword and ws+10% dmg lol. If you only focus on spamming SB, you not maxing dmg potential and being gimp.
