Was looking for any thoughts on what would be the best set of katana to use until I finish kannagi. Don't have time for ToM at the moment so let's limit the argument to these three:
Hochomasamune http://www.ffxiah.com/item/19282/hochomasamune
Kamome http://www.ffxiah.com/item/19287/kamome
Oirandori http://www.ffxiah.com/item/19291/oirandori
Which Katana Set
Which Katana Set
Kamome off hand deffinetly... not sure which would win out it main but id lean towards the hochomasamune
Weird haha, in my thought I was leaning towards: Oirandori/Kamome > Hocho/Oriandori > Hocho/Kamome but I could be underestimating the boost to crit damage and overestimating the DoT power of Oirandori.
hochomasamune is for fastcast, i'd do oirandori/kamome in abyssea at least if you're not worried about fc. outside the crit damage from kamome's not as much of a boost so hocho/oirandori might be better.
Oiradonri/Kamome would probably get your mroe damage the hocho main but it will depend on what your doing and such... if your just going straight up helms > skins then oira probably better but Hocho is nice for the long run since im sure theres still times where some fastcast would be welcome
i personally like the hocho/kamome while working on kannagi
You really shouldn't need the fastcast from Hocho. More damage will make your fights fast. Which when you are doing 25-40 Briarius, speed matters.
oirandori/kamome >>> hochomasamune/kamome > etc
Oiran/Kamome is what I would go for. You'll do more damage and keep hate better because you're swinging so fast. Hocho is helpful when casting Ichi but it has 32 more delay, lower damage, and it's a pain in the *** to do VNMs. If you need the training wheels go for the hocho there's no shame and when you're ready you can get the kannagi and press z to make your dreams come true.

It was more in reference to the dps and increased critical hits.
I've used Hochomasamune exactly once since I completed my AGI Sekka +2 (which I mainhanded til 85 Kannagi), and that was for skilling Ninjutsu. Oirandori/Kamome all the way.
nice heads up on the Killakriq, I neglected to see this Katana, I thought everyone was going Hocho is no Sekka or Kannagi.
0/20 on hocho with some trigger/TH, i wished i had it for NM that doesnt miss me and attack fast. but actually i'm main hand sekka +2 (AGI/eva) and sub either kamome/another sekka +2 (eva/agi).
i'm trying to get the Oirandori till i end kannagi (85). 0/2 atm.
