The Robo only requires 67 Str so I can keep it real low

ok but do you have a second axe for your offhand that also requires 67 strength?
It sounds like your other weapon is an honor naga so you still have to put a million points into strength to equip your offhand weapon

besides, every point in strength is increasing your damage

I was thinking I could use Robo + Up'd Swordback, probably against melee fighters

But also thinking about using the Honor + Robo Nagas (maybe keeping a token in hand ) against casters?

Sounds like a bad idea...

lol

you look at the number of hitchecks the offhand gets vs 4 frame and vs 6 frame. if you have shit gear, 25% ds on the offhand can make enough of a difference to lose the hitchecks.

Also the first hit is instant so it ignores ias. Equip honor first so that its the first hit then the weapons will trade hits

Pants1 quoted your post

the first hitcheck always occurs on the same frame regardless of weapon ias (frame 6 or something?). there was discussion about this a long time ago regarding honor vs robos, and its functional if you can keep your whirls short enough that you're not missing all the extra hitchecks you'd gain by going from 6 fpa > 4 fpa. it actually makes more sense with tele barb because of how likely you are to only get the first hitcheck or two after the stomp. the issue lies in ww being fucked atm, and it being worse with short whirls/multiple small ones so you cant even game the system to get all those free first hitchecks cuz ww will just fail.

imho, it was far more useful in hld fpk with getting someone caught by the sin and running the super tight tri's with harder hitting (potentially) weapons than the standard grief/beast, but you have to be super precise the whole time and the gain isnt enough to make it worth the effort. grief already trucks people, and while it is far less skillful, getting a synched buff whirl to land and surprise someone definitely happens sometimes, and 4fpa is significantly better for that situation.

/e: I'm ignoring how bad it is to run 6 fpa main hand 4 fpa offhand btw. thats just super dumb.
