It's good for people who want to main only DB. Nothing amazing for people who use both weapons or focus on JBs.
Gilles Weihen shift PA spam is really good in UH against anything that can be burned/poisoned, which is most trash mobs and Gwanahda. I was getting 400k+ burn tics on Gwanahda. It's definitely worth bringing these things along to swap to if you have them.
So... for a DB-only Bouncer, which 15* DB is best? I have a Serpen Blazes, which I'm currently using and doing OK with, but I could easily convert one of my Atra Ex's, and I just got enough stones to make my Lightstream (only just now because I made two units first).
The more I play DB, the more I like it, and while I realize I'll never be #1 DPS with it, I want to at least put up the best showing I can.
For the most part, I have been running Bo/Ph rather than Bo/Hu; Automate is pretty worthless in UH, and Short Tech Charge from PH makes healing (and rebuffing when there is no Te) quicker and safer. Plus, when using the units I made for Phantom, I have 220 PP, so I get pretty good output from Photon Stream and Critical Stream.
I don't have a parser, but I usually finish mid-pack on Code: Defeats in expert MPA's, so I think I'm doing relatively OK.
EDIT: I say all that, and then I look at the multipliers and realize that Hunter wins 176% to 159.5%, and that's a lot bigger difference than I thought it was.
So... is it just me or are the new dual blades from the Armada EQ junk? The potential breaks the DW -> PB cycle by consuming all your gear, making them useless during PBF.
I can see how they might have a niche use outside of PBF, possibly with a DW -> Dove -> 3rd Normal combo against ground targets? Though I'm not sure that returns enough gear if you're not subbing Phantom, and I can't think of a sustainable combo against an aerial target due to the height change on most DB photon arts.
I'm interested to hear if anyone has found a way to really make this potential useful.
That's a perfect jump cancel Dove, like Gekka... Which you'll never get reliably unless it's directly after a ground used Dispersion Strike. Dove is otherwise 1143 on the ground and like 1333 after something like a full Kite.
Edit: welp. Crow is getting buffed. Even more reason to use it.
