The thing about instincts is its nearly always better to just invest in those stats instead of relying on instinct.

Sanctity gives 2% status resistance, 1% elemental resistance per 6 points, and a small amount of hp and fp. It's kind of a bad stat on its own, it just lacks a bit of punch, which is given by racials. However, races that want to build SAN usually have to sacrifice a bit. In this case, being a main damage stat, you can justify dropping strength and simply getting a ton of SAN which is great for races that love san but can't justify doing it normally.

60 scaled SAN on a lupine doesn't give them as many stats as if they simply spent those in the actual stats. But it also gives them 120% SR, HP, FP, and 10% all res which is really good especially if you have the gear to get 25% in a bunch of things.

So I'm just imagining being any random class. Say, a tactician. You can have a tome off hand, and a sword with 9 range main hand to stay in the back and attack while supporting. Or maybe you can play a cobra DH corbie that is good at kiting. Or perhaps you can play a bard with a sword main hand and instrument off hand. It's a versatile weapon because it works for any SAN build
