Swinging the weapon

[HPM]

I was wondering how the different races swing/hold their Katanas and Great Katanas

I've read different things about some races and I would like to know how it really is for all 5 of them

Also, is the TP gain the same for katanas and G-katanas?

i've never really noticed about the stance, though i would assume it's different, since the stance for all of the other jobs is different. i.e. an elvaan male holds a greatsword quite differently than an elvaan female.

As for tp gain, tp returned is based on weapon delay. Katanas get back 5-6 tp per hit, great katanas get back 10-12 per hit (ignoring the TP-Store passive ability). Over time, assuming all of your hits connect, your tp gain should be about the same. You really notice the difference in weapon skills though. Enpi will return 20-24%tp instantly, which is a nice return.
