Do people only buy VVS weapons?

[TPC]

I use a VVVS main gauche when leveling a new character, its pretty useful since it allows me to go to spores right away at level 1/1 (with some cheap healing items), to get to job 10 in just 10 kills. After that I'm not sure if they're very useful, if you're going for a WS weapon you're better off with an elemental VVS, the extra 30 damage from ranked VVVS isn't that much compared to the extra damage you get from 50% 75% or even double damage due to the element, and still later in the game carded weapons are much more useful than WS weapons. This is especially true if you're using skills like bash or mammonite, since the extra damage from VVVS isn't factored in into the damage calculation of those skills.
