Compare to a FLB assault S when you're already at 189% if you're only focused on assault, gives a 5% dmg boost - if you say 5% from that extra assault is a big deal, the 3% from exceed should at least be on your radar, given that double assault/pride weapons are extremely rare (no one is saying sacrifice assault for exceed, only that exceed is valuable especially as a second skill.)
