the Pet enhancing weapons are far from gimp, every puppetmaster today forgets the pet is the focus of the job because we got H2H upgrades.
Even among the Pet enhancing HTH weapons, only those that enhance your Automaton's M.Acc are truly worth getting. Even on exp mobs, nuke resists still happen far more frequently compared to a BLM, so the MAB ones would only really be useful on very few (weak) enemies, if at all.
As for the melee enhancing Hand-to-hand weapons - anything your Automaton can melee you, you can melee on as well, including Jailers, Kirin (though one should always be zerging this anyway), ZNMs etc.
And if you can melee it, weapons that improve your damage (or accuracy) will be more beneficial, as your damage will far exceed the damage of the Automaton (HNMs aside), as long as you have proper buffs (or even just Haste, really, if your gear doesn't suck) and food.
Also, Valoredge with full merits has next to no Accuracy problems on stronger NMs, and Sharpshot's melee attacks are far too inaccurate on things stronger than Limbus, Dynamis or Exp mobs, so getting the Pet: Accuracy HTH serve almost no purpose.
As for the defensive HTHs... they're weapons for swapping in at best, if you don't need to keep your TP.
