Assuming merited H2H skill on PUP, you are looking at 241 skill
Hades
DMG +18 Delay +51
Accuracy +7, Evasion +7, Subtle Blow +7, Enmity +7
Floor(241*.11 +3 + 18 ) = 47 Base dmg
DMG 47
Accuracy +7, Evasion +7, Subtle Blow +7, Enmity +7
Oberon Sainti
DMG +15 Delay +51
Dmg +1
H2H skill +6
Hand to hand skill raises base dmg and attack
Floor(241 +6)*.11 +3 + 15+1 ) = 46 Base dmg
6 H2H skill * 0.9 = Floor 5.4 -> 5 ACC
6 H2H skill = 6 Attack
DMG 46
Attack +6 Acc +5
So basically excluding the subtle blow and evasion stats, the Oberon's Sainti has 1 less base damage, and 2 less Acc, but gains +6 attack.
With a Faith Torque, +7 H2H skill augment would allow pup to break the next tier, so for someone who has a faith torque and merits, +2 DMG and +7 h2h skill is equal to the base damage of Hades with 1 less acc but 7 more attack.

My brother got this today from Grauberg [S].
Congratulations Taru!!

There's accuracy on Morrigan's, and BLM has an E skill in Scythe... isn't it obvious they were meant to melee?
Not saying Ogre Sickle should be the end-all BLM weapon, but it should certainly be better than staves. God, SOMETHING should be better than staves...
Someone needs to find the zone that can give Rindomaru DMG:+ augment. -_-
See Dorje. It doesn't have to be damage, take a look at the Fay Staff, this they did well. The only thing this scythe needs to be useful are different values of Fast Cast. Best Fay Staff I have seen yet is enhancing +6 Fast Cast+3 I believe which is ridiculously useful as it allows a SCH to break 300tier with no merits, and also allows SCH to cast even faster. Technically speaking a SCH can have more Fast Cast than a RDM with that, and you might be able to get more than +3... If BLM got Fast Cast I would be very pumped, but as far as I can tell this doesn't seem to be the case, they mistakenly overpowered SCH's staff apparently (actually they just have no clue what they are doing).
Of course this event isn't going to get you an item that out damages HQ staves, but stats like that do not even approach NQ staves. (YES I have a 7% chance of dealing about 10% less damage than an NQ staff!!!! and less accurate!!!!) I'd like to know what event you think would be hard enough to warrant an item beating HQ staves tho, because PW sure as hell doesn't and it is the second hardest NM in this game^^. As an added note: HQ staves beat HQ staves through FV that is the only thing you will ever see beat HQ staves... augmented HQ staves^^.
Don't forget though, SMN staff is literally all hq staves + some extra shit on top of that for what it does.

While this is true you have to remember that elemental staves are nowhere near as amazing for summoners as they are for pure mage jobs. The only thing the staves offered was the perpetuation cost. Otherwise it didn't boost anything at all for the job. So for summoners moving away from having to carry all the 8 staves with them, because now that SE is actually giving a damn about adding pet bonuses on gear, almost anything outdoes the staves or adds something that they can't provide.
got this on my 5th time in grauberg. not too bad is it?

VERY good.. but without at least DMG+1 it's still eclipsed by Hades D:
So any tips for me as a PLD/NIN for most of these? Any behaviors/gimmics that should be noted while kiting and re-casting shadows?
Just got a H2H+4, EnSlow, Pet: Damage -4% from Grauberg. SO CLOSE! to being good..
