I know the thread is old but I want to comment on the HE for triple dmg. It hits more than just on the first hit. I'm 99 MNK doing the first few trials and I have seen it hit with either hand, sometimes critical hits are as much as 850 dmg. Normal HE hits seem to be between 450-650. Not bad for the base level 75 weapon, I can't wait to see what the level 119 does. But that'll probably be around Christmas this year lol
