For overall melee DOT I believe DA and 2-4 are very close with DA edging out.

Is that for dps or tp building?
I figured on just tp building offhand to get more CDC in.

Its for overall damage; (melee + WS)/time.

The OaT path is fairly bad for overall damage, DA Khanda/Str/Dex Shamshir all beat them inside Abyssea, I don't think anything loses to 2-4 outside either, it's just a really bad sword. Mageblade outclasses the OaT Khanda+2.

What is the activation rate on the 2-4 sword? The magian multihits can't possibly be as proc-happy as every other multihit in the game, else they'd be dominating, no?
Current data on Dnc forum with Oa4 parazonium is 1.9~ attacks average admittedly, but you have to account for its low base damage, poor hit distribution, and unfavourable OAX effect.

In other words, yes, it's dominating, provided your mainhand sword is an empyrean/mythic or similar, due to its superior TP gain. Supposedly the +10 DA khanda is just a hair better than 2-4x for almace users, but its so close it's not really worth noting.
Now as for a mainhand, it's pretty terrible. :P
Potentially better outside, inside with Apoc it doesn't increase TP gain as much as it looks like it would at first glance. the 2-3 handily loses to.. just about every reasonable offhand in overall damage inside or outside last I checked. I'll have to look over 2-4 again later.
The high delay doesn't help it or DA's case either.
EDIT: Not even looking good outside for overall damage but I think I miscalculated somewhere since average rounds decreased assuming 90% OAT rate when parazonium averaged 40%.

All the multihit weapons suffer inside abyssea due to the proliferation of TA / DA atma's. Outside it really depends what your doing. The OaT sword is actually really good once you factor in fSTR. Its 40% activation rate so factor in 1.40 as its delay divider. The 2~4 one really hurts DPS wise, the DMG is just too low for its delay even after taking into account 1.8 (I've seen 1.8 not 1.9, but I may have to check again) delay divider. The DA+10% rocks inside abysea because it can actually stack with atma's and gear, but Apoc Atma still reduces its the effect. Really unless your a DNC I would stay away from the 2~4 one, do OaT or DA+10 with DA+10 being slightly better for CDC users. Another good choice is the STR one, Attack +24.5 is hard to come by for a BLU and monsters 80+ tend to have annoyingly high defense.
