I'm a bit confused as to why there is a sweep 2 when area attack 3 does the same thing but with the chance of blinding. Which one does more damage? What about spin attack 2? Thanks in advance!

No swordsman attack has a chance to blind, that is an error in the move discription.
Area3 and Hit3 have a chance of Dizzy, though.
Spin2 has the highest D/T of all the area attacks, but area3 has a posture down. So I tend to use Area3 first to lower posture of targets, then spam Spin2.

Area2 and 3 have the same damage mod (3.0x) - the only difference between the two is Area3 has a Dizzy/Posture Down effect while Area 2 only has the PD). Area3 is just slower at 2.6s to Area2's 2.4 delay mod.
Spin2 also has a 3.0x damage mod, and sits right between Area2&3 at a 2.3x delay mod, but it doesn't have Posture Down OR Dizzy. Sweep2 is even worse with only a Posture Down effect along with a 2.5x delay mod and only a 2.0x damage mod.

Area3 is probebly the best for me, it dizzies and changes posture while sweep and spin do not and area 2 doesnt either, if its the same dmg ok, but watching some1 flop on the group is funny, and you will end up doing more dmg to them...
