yeah, magians can be upgraded, but this is way cheaper timewise to get. If the proc rate is anything like OAT weapons (and does indeed proc on ws/ja), i think this is a quite a decent weapon. Not needing a ranged weapon is probably a rare situation for thf, but other dds can surely make better use of these weapons (non DW ones specially).
Clemeant skean is more reasonable option as a quick to get weapon for thf. Close to the dps of the elemental magians and lower delay. It's the return of super tp gain of low delay combo with clement+rapidus sax.
Strictly speaking for THF, seeing as how this D:29 weapon requires an Ammo Slot to be used, i don't see it being useful at all.
what with Raider's Boomerang, Bomblet, Bomb Core (c.acc), the Atk+3 Critical Hit Damage+ Thathlum (With RR), etc etc.
Its sacrificing too much, on top of requiring it being mainhanded, all for a gamble of a chance to do decent damage.
Easy to get or not, you're better off trying to get an Auric Dagger (Which is like 80+% Drop from an Easily Duo'able NM, even easier now @ 85) and (in general) stop being lazy and work on a Kila. With the "Weather = 5 points" bonus now on those trials they're super easy if you pace yourself.
Or try for a Rapidus Sax.
Either way, once i put my mind to my DEX kila, the last two trials only took me about ~4/5 man hours cause i waited for Thundery Season in Zi'Tah lol, so its not brutally hard.
