    Of course, what I really wanted to try was WAR/RNG... Accuracy Bonus sounds like a free peacock charm to me, but party leaders seem to think I'm crazy to even suggest that. (One retracted party invite because of it.)
    Thf has 2 advantanges at this level. SAta means you don't get a pounding on your rear when it looks at you with 300+damage hate, and 100+Tp ready to stick it too you.

    2 thf main means you can sub /nin. With 5-6 shadows, you have much less fear.

    It's a trade off.

    It'll depend on PT. Sometimes it pays to be sturmwinding at that level. Other times, you're going to be facing a sickle slash down your face.

      I wish I had the option to parse my parties as WAR, but both the static PLD I keel with and I are on PS2. But I have noticed that I ~seem~ to Double Attack FAR more often with WAR/NIN & Axes than I do as WAR/THF and Great Axe. For the most part, landing both Axes per volley, I do 70~90dmg. I do about 85dmg a hit w/ Great Axe. I'm curious which weapon(s) have a greater DoT in my set up.

      Again I say ~seems~ because I do have an extra chance for Double Attack to proc. If I Double Attack twice in 6 attack rounds I'll visually notice it more with Axes than if in 6 attack rounds I Double Attack with Great Axe. And I ~seem~ to Double Attack like a fiend with Duel Axes. (My last EXP I noticed 3 straight attack round I Double Attacked at least once.)

I have 1-handed axe and 1-handed sword capped at around 18 and 35 respectively, from leveling other jobs. I also know Greataxe isn't really worth it at the higher levels either, reguardless of the A+ skill v.s. Axe's A-. I hear that Sa Sturmwind is godly 30+, and sturmwind itself is strong in qufim, but would it be possible to skip G. Axe and continue to use 1-handed axe, and start dual-wielding at 20?
        that's why I just skill up everything when I'm lvling a low lvl job keeps everything cappaed.
