still wondering if brutal is only not worth using if doing dw hexa, or if it applies to single wield hexa as well. merman's has 1 more att, but meh. there's also backlash torque, but no acc on that. i use acp haub, not sure what that vs augur's would be like.
The issue with Brutal apparently is that it's not as big of an improvement to a 6 hit WS (since the max Attack x round is 8) as it is for lower hit WSs, and it doesn't have anything to do with single wield or DW. You will, however, want to use Brutal for TP.
DW is the ideal SJ for a melee WHM due to the higher DoT, but of course there are way less scenarios in which you'd be subbing /NIN.
There is a new crafted +7 Attack Earring I believe, but I can't seem to recall what its name was.
ACP Body would potentially be the best
TP choice (being the only body with +DW option for WHM) with the right augments and the 3rd best Hexa body, with Augur and Marduk as top and 2nd best bodies.
Of course it all depends on your overall gear and whether or not you need stats such as Accuracy on the body slot.
