Use Izh/Atoyac because I don't want to waste inventory space carrying around a Sandung for a near minimal if any bonus.
This is what was said, oh, 15 pages ago. Atoyac was NEVER even partially part of this conversation.

Atoyac OaT is a 40% proc rate... This is why I argued about the DPS difference because people have infact stated Sandung as an off-hand. Sure Sandung as a main hand is less of a problem but why would you replace Ihz with Sandung?
He posted morts info about the small increase and ihana did the maths. About 30 coins. Yeah it's minimal and prob not worth the effort. But I had sand before I got atoyac oat. So I'll take em. Different people will get different results more so cause of play style. It's not that big a deal.
Misinformation regarding factual maths is though.
About 30 coins in comparison of th3 to th6 on the same number of mobs... You going on about how your so much better with math lol. This is why I mocked them about grade school. In reality this number is smaller because your talking about 2 ppl base TH8 and only one is getting a slight boost to their occasional TH proc rate over TH8.
Edit: in the arguement between keeping TH gear on and not.

I'm not really saying whether you should or shouldn't, what I'm saying is that if you are going to use a Sandung you should be main handing it for Dynamis/Salvage. This is of course another problem with Sandung in that if you have Mythic or Empy you have to replace the item, which is probably the point where I would say "Not worth".

Wasn't my maths as I said. It may be smaller but it's still a small increase for no effort on my part.

I with you RME I prob wouldn't replace. But I have neither.
The whole stupid discussion was replacing izi.

It wouldn't do anything, if they bant all the people cheating they may as well shut down the game.
You can see the hax in any of the pics I posted. I'm a GM, afterall.

I mean, 100% legit, if you thought the arguement was about mainhanding a sandung... I can't even take you seriously as a human anymore.
What kind of artard even considers mainhanding a sandung.
I'm trying to be as nice as possible, but you make it VERY hard.

Um because you would never drop the oat atoyac that's why. So you would main hand a 97D weapon and sub sandung?
Also as if I need to repeat this but it seems I do.
This is for dynamis.

Original posts
Use Sandung for dyna/salvage
Actually, I'd say we take a second look at the Sandung since the first hit of Rudra does so much more than it did before, especially if the new trend is to hold til 1750TP.
I main hand sandung with oat atoyac for all Gil farming content.
Can you read?
Unless you thought we were subbing atoyac for sandung?
But your not that stupid are you?

Ihina is alot of things, a lot of things if I say right here, probably get banned for saying.
But I'm pretty sure he's smart enough not to main hand the sandung.
All THF discussion revolves around the off-hand. ALL
Mainhand is ALWAYS RME. No exceptions.
The comment: NEVER USE A SANDUNG is Directed at the off-hand because AGAIN:

**Except now that rudra is so broken, izhiikoh has been promoted to mainhand.**

When I came into the conversation this was said.
So Valli is completely against Sandung right? Meh It's my off-hand weapon most of the time.
I'll probably change up when I get a Chaac Belt but until then I need it to cap TH!
And you never said you did otherwise but I'll give that one to you despite your weasel track record.

I must admit I came into this conversation championing the Sandung off-hand, I now see the error of my ways, I can also see the point of view of a Sandung mainhand definitely if you must insist on having TH being better than having it in the off hand.
That said I'm still using Sandung against Behemoth and you can't stop me.

But how about after you get a chaac belt?

I mainhand a Sandung and offhand an Eminent Dagger and it feels great! >:P
Stuff will matter less once I finish Vajra though, so I can finally move Sandung to offhand and feel even better! Provided I don't find a copy of SoA first, that is.

Well don't you just need an EU copy of the game? Can't you order a used copy of EU SoA for x-box and get an EU digital download PC key?

Last time I checked on Amazon UK there was 1 copy for around 100 euros, lol! So yeah, for the content I play atm (Dyna/Ein/Salvage/Etc.) I am in no real rush tbh. I'll look again on Amazon Germany when I can get more time to play next year.

This is fantastic advise in a help thread designed to help fellow thfs get a better understanding of thf. /sarcasm off
Or was the title of the thread, elitists only.
But wait he contradicts himself
Quetzalcoatl.Valli said: »THIS was NOT like this prior to Rudra's update. This actually BEGS for an update to Mandau's pitiful 91 Base damage. You can see Mandau has a clear lead fr white damage, but the Rudra's increase is too drastic.
