Braver doesn't offer any pp regen boost either and slight survivability if you do a j reversal you can heal 20% of max HP (monomate is 30%)
.
Weak Stance works on techs as long as you use the correct element and even if you don't hit a weak point.
You have to adapt your build because to really max out your damage as a FO, you essentially need a weapon of each element but if you can, with BR as subclass, go Weak Stance all the way, it's pretty much unconditional.

I still recommend TE as FO's subclass because it just smoothes PP regen this much with natual PP regen, PP convert and Super Treatment and with FO, PP regen is king because you're useless without your PP (contrary to all other classes).
