Yeah, I did the full sim and was looking primarily at overall DPS.
Maletaru's helpful note about the previous Zanhasso fix in the sim might be part of it though. Not sure whether I do have the newest version, so I'm planning to make sure to get the current one and play with it a bit. Maybe that makes things closer/in favor of Sweord.
In any case though, I suppose it doesn't look like any of those belt options is likely to be hugely ahead of the others. Wouldn't really be too surprised if either of the three was "better" situationally. If Hasso is ever down, that's going to hurt Sweord a lot. If you're not using Ryuo shoes (which I don't in some more defensive leaning TP sets), that weakens it a bit. For situations where you need a lot of Acc, maybe Ioskeha gets some extra value, etc.
I usually use Masa (no Prime here), and I do pay attention to giving some value to stats that will improve white damage on an AM3-enhanced swing. That adds up! Not that it's a mega-huge deal for SAM, but white damage especially on an empy isn't something I would call insignificant - so many times I'm in a seg run or something, and an extra 1-2 attack rounds is enough to kill a mob (and easily noticeable that I'm missing that when I'm playing, idk, Naegling WAR in the same situation and know that if the mob is at like 8% I'm still gonna need to do another WS lol).
But saying all of that, probably a non-issue here. I set the correct flags (AM3 up) in the sim so assumed it's properly accounting for all TP and WS phase damage in the overall DPS.
