The Heavy Darts are expensive to manufacture, requiring a ritual performed by a Regimental Philosopher and 1 dram of Quintessence per 4 rounds. Each round costs $250 and isn't going to be easily available for the Mercenary on the road. Blades, however don't need reloading.

Furthermore the claws can penetrate armor that the Darts cannot. DR 98 (or Hardened DR 49) will stop the Dart's average damage, but the claws can target chinks in armor for a AD of (10).

Besides, what do you propose instead? More ST?
