What's the best grip for WAR if you're not using a Rose Strap for xhit? Pole, Brave, or Claymore?

I know it's not in the 3 suggestions but what about this?

Depends on how you're geared i guess. Claymore is generally considered the best

Wow, quit the hating, seriously.

Also, it's been a LONG time since i did DD math.

Inside abyssea it's OBVIOUSLY Claymore grip.

Outside idk, back when i played DD a grip with skill that breaks into another tier was certainly worth it.

Not sure what the *** y'all getting so dicky about. Also, if you wanna turn into Nazi's about it, notice the "?" after. Means i wasn't entirely sure myself and i was asking a question, which as a *** community you'd think would be welcomed...

*** off asshat. Simply because i'm a maat's cap owner does not mean i know everything or i'm not allowed to make mistakes.

EDIT: Oh, and before you suggest since jobs at minimum of maat's cap level does not mean i keep up with the math on them. I haven't played many of my jobs in literally years.

This line confused me. I'm not the best at the math for FFXI, but last I knew the only tiers for skill was the H2H Damage tiers which no other weapons get. Am I missing something?

When was this strange time when MNK and PUP could use grips with their H2H and had access to an H2H skill grip?

Uther's is not worthwhile.

He's acting like he ever knew much about FFXI math when it would be better to admit otherwise.

I understand you posted several things after this however, I wanted to point out to you that we are all sorry we forgot to turn on our telepathy to know you haven't played in a long time. For all of us that have been playing for the past several months since it came out we've known for some time that it has been a junk grip compared to what we can use other then it. Someone has a case of the QQ's.

If you aren't sure, read back you'll be amazed what you find back there between the trolling. There is good info that will answer almost all your war questions. The trolling is entertaining though in between the good info.

I think because outside of Abyssea, our crit rate is soooooooo much lower, that that crit dmg+ (i think 3%) doesn't hold much water if you can't crit... BR will definitely help a lot with that, but you can't really account for a grip just for BR, since you lose tp as you swap grips (obviously), and its duration/recast is just too far apart to justify that i think... where as claymore forces an extra 3% crit rate, on both melee and WS dmg
