Something I never quite understood...

i thought the 'balance' was that for levels <120, you have a great chance of doing a slash or swing rather than stab? since there are two slash animations but only one stab animation, that puts axes in the advantage that 66% of the time, they have a chance of dishing out bigger numbers.

of course brandish screws that up and pure axe and hybrids gets made pointless altogether. this is, as mentioned before, experimental, for fun, unique, be cool, etc. it has no function though. my i/l dropped cold beam and has maxed slow in the second job. slow is useless for i/l. with or without freezing. it just makes my i/l different from others but it really has no function.

It's all just for fun and variation in the end, at least that's my reason for making one really.
