blu weapon grants you a bit more damage and MP on blu. it doesn't do anything to support people around you so whatever the sword would do is nothing that really couldn't be replaced by adding another person to greater effect except where max manpower is limited. same as a relic gkt will make 1 sam stronger but you could do about as well most likely with 2 more pedestrian geared sams. the sword is just a winmore (or a lose less depending on your stance on blu, i will not comment either way) granting a nice bonus but nothing earth shattering.
yagrush, yagrush, yagrush. now there's a weapon that does something truly unique. for all those mobs that spam AoE stat downs, this is the ultimate tool. yes, people will say the value has degraded some with esuna and that's a little bit true. still, to set up an esuna capable of removing gravity you need to activate solace if it is not already on, cast sacrifice, activate misery, run in, cast erase, get out before you die. then wait for esuna's recast or solace/misery to come back up depending on your situation and debuffs you're dealing with. or... just hit your erase macro with a yagrush and smile as the problem handles itself. even beyond, how about people in another party or alliance stuck with a rdm who can only blindna 1 person every couple of seconds due to the ungodly recast. bam. done. breakga got you down and you're facing 200 mp to stona everyone? not anymore! the uses for yagrush are just so wide and varied imo there's very little contest. yagrush is the hands down winner just because it's such a cut above the rest.
