I am in no way an expert on the matter, but I do recall reading a post, I believe from here, that using Republican's was acceptable.

yeah id think the point would be to do 2 things stack HP gear and get yourself hitting as fast as you can. so ima try out dual wield with the nub daggers cus my shell needs all the zerg we can get asap o/

Using just one will be faster delay, meaning more hits w/ souleater. Plus you should be subbing either DRG(Wyvern Earring) or MNK(for more HP). That is... If it's a true dead on zerg.
Edit, ignore me, I was thinking multi-hit for some reason... Carry one, 2 daggers is right.

You don't need to do the math, Two of the same dagger will always be faster than one of that dagger. Provided you're forced to be /NIN.

Well, I've never tried to get an Mkris nor do I know what's required to do so, but if it's easier than kiting, then I should go get one

You then trade that to a spot in Valkurm that spawns 3 LV20ish NMs. Caps you at LV20 also.
Two SMNS using Astral Flow can kill the NMs, but drop rate is about 5%.

Yea, well I guess you can say "easier" but provided you have sea, and if you had 30 fishing, started at the same time trying to actively obtain one of each. The person going for fort would most likely get theirs a shitton faster

I'd like to see some maths comparing the -delay from dualwielding and the added hp from a shield
instead of derailing "LOL NOT GONNA GIVE MY OPINION IF YOU CHOOSE TO BE GIMP"

Yea, I can read your mind before you post in a thread. /sarcasm.

Subduer is the best non-multihit weapon to zerg with. Mainly do the additional critical hits and lower delay. Most parses I've done show it at half the damage of a MKris give or take. The fact you can /sam and hasso with it as well as WS also contributes a bit more than a Dagger would.
Tredecim is another good option, just need a mage to cure you after WSs. I suppose rune chopper is compable as well to the scythe/greatsword but its kinda meh since they nerfed the haste cap a few years ago.

I'd rather use a Ferrara if I were to use a non-multihit 2handed weapon.
