    Stagger Lock Weapons

    Any purpose to these that I'm missing?

    The purpose of these is that they have moderately high damage (read third only to unbalanced strong, and slowed ATB gauge strong respecitvely), while being equally balanced.

    Your first weapon is no bonus + balanced, yet lower
    There's one that's higher than no break, balanced, but slows ATB gauge.
    Then you have the unbalanced, but no bonus/penalty.

    I'm thinking this is a weapon for someone who isn't going to use Ravager. Maybe Snow and Lightning? This way you have high magic and strength, but if you're Commando/Sentinel/Medic, you don't need to stagger. I wonder, though, does this still slow the stagger bar like physical attacks do?

    It still slows the stagger bar when COM uses the Stagger Lock weapons (I have Durandal Lv. 30 atm for Light). Stagger Lock isn't an issue when other people in your party can stagger on RAV just fine.
