Weapon Question

Across the board, are the magian and relic-empy-mythic axes the only real weapon choices for beastmaster? I mean, are there any weapons (either DW axes, or an axe-shield combo) that I'd want that aren't magian, relic, empy or mythic?

I found myself going over my bst gear sets and my weapons are all magian. (STR, pet:STR, pet:PDTx2, pet:evasion, OAT, and I'm toying with making a pet:MDB and DT+11 in the coming weeks. Farsha and Guttler are on the far backburner as well). I'm worried that I may be missing something since my other jobs (whm, bard, sch and mnk) don't rely so much on magian weapons at all - though for the life of me I don't see why I'm planning on getting the club, staff and dagger for my mage jobs.

Is there a "magical" set of axes that have so much utility that they are worth using in place of the bread-and-butter magian stuff?

No. Magian everything!

Not really.

MND/MDB axes aren't really useful outside of specific fights where magic damage is a main problem. AGI/Evasion axes aren't very useful right now, but they may see a resurgence with the expansion. Only time can tell.

Edit: Realized you were looking for something completely outside of Magian. Nope, get started doing some trials, lol.

You have the best weapons for bst. The trouble with any none magian weapons they dont offer the same boost for that pet that those axes do apart from Mythic. Dont bother with Farsha and unless they give bst the relic only pet they were talking about guttler isnt really worth it over other relics atm.
