Excellent sword for casting Hysteric Barrage, even with the -1 STR. Remember that Hysteric Barrage's only modifier is DEX, so this sword tops even Ifrit's for Vorpal Blade + HB builds.
Because blu swords are use not for dealing DMG in off but for spell mods instead, this sword should always be off handed by any blu that is not using Peradu/Koggelmander this trumps ifrit's blade in all casting cases. still keep Ifrits fro cannonball sword tho :3Nyan~
TBH..This sword is good for the blue mages who focus on H.Barrage and Sickle slash because H.Barrage Modifer is 30% DEX and sickle slash is 50% DEX
but i think that Ifirt blade is better with STR set up and Death Scissors because its Modifer is 60% STR
If you were a BLU 60+ and want this weapon for DEX setup i recomened setting DEX Spells for further DEX+
btw i manged to hit an eruca with Death Scissors 800 with CASA @150 TP
moreover i noticed that when a spell deals Crit.hit DMG if you Chain CASA it will deal 2Crit.Hits but i didnt tested it yet though
