Im just sitting at work and was wondering what wars nowadays thought of dual wielding axes in merit parties (not endgame). In my day or when i leveled war, it was laughed at not to have dual axes. Well since the update more and more ppl going GA which isnt bad at all now. I have tons of jobs so my main is not War.
But to the the point, what do you war mains think?
Laughable or no difference?
/sigh i know gear is probably gonna come into question so this is what i got (off the top of my head) btw this is just a basic opinion on dual wield axe wars not on me but gear always comes into question so ill inform you. I am also not looking for gear advice.
Axes: Juggernaut, Maneater
Ammo: bombcore
head: ohat, walmart turban
neck: chiv chain
ear: assault earring, suppa
body: hauberk, N.Body
hands: dusk hands, warriors mufflers, N.hands
rings: snipers x2, rajas, flame ring
back: foragers
waist: potent belt
pants: b.haidate
feet: dusk, marine boots (i dont think i use these) N.feet

First things first don't use juggernaut.
It has been proven, and I think linked to in one of the stickys, by math that juggy isnt as good as maneater/iron ram pick. It's just not.
Secondly there are many of these threads, have a look and see what other people have responded in other ones, because it has been asked so many times people are sick of responding. That's not to say you are wrong to ask, we always encourage people trying to find out more about war, it's just a really FAQ.
Basically, gearing to maximize damage output, it's easier to do well with an inferior set up on gaxe than it is on dualwield. Simply because of the 2h update and the boost to acc and att that came with that.
your set up looks very strong, not perfect but well on it's way. So I would presume that you can easily get away with eating meat while dual wielding. I personally think that you would do better with a perdu voulge then axes. In fact I know it. But if you enjoy dualwielding then the set up you have will allow you to be a strong contributor and contendor in any party you participate in.
For war, personal preference plays a big role to your gaming style. You like to dual wield, that's fine. No it isn't laughable, yes it is still one of the best DDs in the game but no it isn't as good as great axe generally.
So basically it's up to you. Nobody will laugh at you for using 2 axes, so if that's what you like to do, go for it.
BUT SELL YOUR JUGGY IT'S A WASTE OF EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF GIL THAT COULD BUY YOU SOMETHING PRETTY ELSEWHERE!

Personally i only really recomend Greataxe, Maneater/Joyeuse or Maneater/Ridill at 75, but if you're going to dual wield axes then thats fine: just make sure you gear decently for it.
Ps. its already been said, but juggy is junk.

i really dont mind any comment said long as it was about the topic. I am guessing the first poster didnt even read what i wrote. I could careless what u said about my gear this isnt about my gear its about what u guys think about dual axes. This is not about improving anything. And unless there is topic done recently about this its not valid. I am wondering what the CURRENT war thinks. I am not worried about parsars or not. You guys know which ones are better or not. This in no way will change how i play was just curious.

You should be using Maneater on the main hand, that means that we just need to compare I.R.Pick and Juggy as offhand.
If your attack is 375(that's an average attack for a dual-wield war) before berserk, food or minuet, after food and minuet that becomes 515 w/o berserk and 625 with berserk, and let's say 77 STR(base 70 + hauby and HQ ammemet).

Berserk down I.R. Pick hits ~5.899% harder than Juggy
Just to end all this berserk is up 3/5 of the time at least which means that:
Average % = ((5.889 * 2) + (2.387 * 3)) / 5 = (11.778 + 7.161) / 5 = 3.788%
I.R.Pick it's about 3.788% better than Juggernaut.
Next time someone lol at you saying that I.R. Pick is better than Juggernaut smile at the 1.5m in your pocket.
I hope it helps.
Ken.
P.D. I just took a look at the DPS on Woodville's Axe is just 0.1 lower than I.R.Pick still 0.84 better than Juggy, I don't want to keep digging the grave for Juggy but I think that Woodville/Man should be very close to Man/Juggy if not even better.

Edit: actually answering OP's question....
There is nothing wrong with dual axes, do they have as high of DoT as axe/multi-hit sword or most Great axes? No. But will you be laughed at for using them? Probably not. When I want to spice it up a little bit I use man/IR just for something different. The beauty of Warrior is that we can make just about any weapon in the game a deadly force. Also since it doesnt really matter if you are top parser or not in a meripo axe/axe is just fine.

I just recently had a meripo with a War that used dual axes and he wasn't bad at all. I was parsing to see how my Thf was doing. Camp was mamool ja north. Set up was: 75brd, 75Rdm, 75Sam, 70Rng, 73Thf, 75War. LS party aside from the War hence the level gaps. The War came in 2nd behind the Sam but his ACC, dmg %, and WS average was above average I'd say. I checked him once and had decent gears. Nothing mind blowing but he gear swapped and always stayed on top of his vokes. I'd invite the person again on principle they were enjoyable to have in the party and pulled they're weight.
3rd times a charm!

I really dont like the way you posted this. You ask us to answer a question with a simple answer but it's not that simple. It all matters about how you are geared. If you come in with crappy gear it doesnt matter what weapon you are using, but it is going to be much more noticable on axes. Dont put your gear if you dont want it critiqued. There was truely no point for you to put it unless you were asking about how someone would look at you in particular coming into a camp but thats not what you were asking. Mojo's gear advice was really good and expecially since you can sell that juggy to fund ANYTHING better so you should do it. Don't get mad when someone makes a suggestion, either listen to it (which you should so you can be the best war possible) or just simply ignore it and let others learn from the post.

Furthermore, whether you think we realize or not, hell whether you realize it yourself or not, you were looking for justification on that overpriced piece of wood in your offhand. You wouldn't have mentioned your gearset, and prefaced it saying you knew it would come up, if it didn't really matter. We're not dumb.
As clatuu posted Kenage's maths, Juggernaut is just deadweight. You want to dual wield it's your call. We're trying to help you do it right.

I.R. Pick has 268 delay what is more or less ~4.47sec per hit or 13.423 hits per minute
The averange damage per minute of I.R Pick is = 65.066 * 13.423 = 873.378
Juggernaut
cRatio = 545/324.5 - 0.325 = 1.355
Base Damage = 46 + ((80-67)+4)/4 = 50.25
Average Damage = 50.25 * ((1.2 * 1.355) + 1)/2
Average Damage = 50.25 * (2.036+1)/2
Average Damage = 50.25 * 1.313 = 65.978
Juggernaut has 288 delay what is 4.8sec per hit or 12.5 hits per minute
The averange damage per minute of Juggernaut is = 65.978 * 12.5 = 824.725
Berserk down I.R. Pick hits ~5.899% harder than Juggy
Just to end all this berserk is up 3/5 of the time at least which means that:
Average % = ((5.889 * 2) + (2.387 * 3)) / 5 = (11.778 + 7.161) / 5 = 3.788%
I.R.Pick it's about 3.788% better than Juggernaut.
Next time someone lol at you saying that I.R. Pick is better than Juggernaut smile at the 1.5m in your pocket.
I hope it helps.
Ken.
P.D. I just took a look at the DPS on Woodville's Axe is just 0.1 lower than I.R.Pick still 0.84 better than Juggy, I don't want to keep digging the grave for Juggy but I think that Woodville/Man should be very close to Man/Juggy if not even better.
Stop posting flawed math. Read the whole thread.
I'll copy and paste the part you ignored:

As you read on, the actual calculation were never done, I assume it's just agreed, that the two will come out so close, that there is no difference between the two.

I wouldn't be shocked if juggernaut came out a percent or so ahead of man/irp. What would shock me if it came out far enough ahead to justify spending several million gil over 10k.
So, while I completely agree that Juggy is "Not worth it" it's not neccisarily fair to call it "complete crap". Although technically in my personal opinion, an item that does the same exact thing, but cost 1.8M MORE, is in fact complete crap. But to be 'politically correct' Juggy is an acceptable weapon that will give you the same results you'd get with IRP.
So... Juggy is 'on par' with IRP. If you want to waste 1.8M on it, be my guest.
But that link shouldn't be used, as the data is incorrect, and never was completed.

as for your original question,
Only time I Dual-Wield is Nyzul isle... & its not 2 axes.
No PCC or Bomblet ? oops gear comment.
Heres another: Axe/Sword benefits more from Suppa... also gives you Piercing!

Yeah, kinda frustrating when someone posts gear as a part of question, then gets mad at comments.
People might have thought OP trying to maximize performance... sadly it appears
this is not the case.

I think you'll find I read your post and answered your question both politely and helpfully, despite the torrent of these threads that get posted each week. You asked what we think about dualwielding axes. I told you that gear dependant it would be possible.
And, if you had read my post you would have seen this:
I wrote:
No it isn't laughable, yes it is still one of the best DDs in the game but no it isn't as good as great axe generally.
I then complimented your set up and said that, with gear like yours, an axe/axe build would do fine. This wasnt about you specifically, it was about an axe/axe build using your gear as a reference since you have the gear to support it, and you asked the question.
If you want to compare axe/axe to Gaxe without taking gear into account, go fight some merit mobs naked with each and see how that goes.
And if you are going to get angry because I save you 1M on juggy... Well, some people are just looking for a fight, and I'm too

I actually answered to MimikSS stating why even though his comments man/I.R come on top in this post:
I wrote: wrote:
First of all MimikSS thank you for your comments, I'm always welcome to hear better/different opinions, also it's always nice to see a new math enthusiast, welcome to the Mead Hall btw =)
Now regarding your comments:
Carefull here pal, what is the advantage of juggy over I.R.Pick? it is 20 att and 3 STR right?, but you also need to consider that I.R.Pick have advantages over Juggy, basically it's faster(lower delay), I.R.Pick won in my math mostly due it's delay, the 1 Damage difference(I.R.Pick 47 against juggy 46) while it has some impact is rather minimal compared to the delay difference.
I didn't touch Maneater because it is more or less the same story, Maneater will be stronger with juggy but faster with I.R.Pick, maneater will be ahead with I.R.Pick as well due it's delay.
Considering the nature of dual-wield ability(attacking faster but getting less tp) any dual-wielding job sacrifice some WS damage(because he/she gets less tp) to increase significantly it's DoT(because he/she attacks faster), ending in relationships of the order of 35/65 30/70 in WS/DoT damage ratio.
My point here is: considering that I.R.Pick is 3.788% better than juggy and a 35/65 damage ratio(WS/DoT), the difference of 20 attack and 3 STR from juggy need to increase your WS damage on 7.035% at least to match the improve of I.R.Pick DoT, and even though you are still paying 1.5 millions for nothing, I know that 20 attack and 3 STR don't improve my WS damage over ~7% that's pretty much obvious I think, but now let me ask you, if you are going to pay 1.5 mill for something, how much does that need to improve your DoT to be worth your money?
I hope it helps.
Ken.
P.D. Let me recommend you to forget about comparing a sword(Organics) for WAR, at least if it isn't over 12 DPS, has been demonstrated long time ago that non-axe off hands must be multi-hit to be worth for our job. ^^

At bare minimal, we would also need a melee comparison of the maneater w/ IR vs maneater w/ jugg.
