Screwed again: Proposed THF job adjustments.

Hmm, good point, but wouldn't it be offset by what I mentioned and SATA + THF's other traits? DNC accuracy bonus is to help in building TP, which in some situations a DNC may need to cure etc. THF is just straight DD unless /dnc of course, and I'm usually very outdamaged by THF's performing just regular Evis, by at least usually 200+ damage. Not to mention using SATA, lol. I think its definately on the THF side on Dagger control.

However I do think THF's need more potential, and have been neglected in updates.

I have never run numbers to compare the two jobs, but I imagine that they are very close in terms of damage. SA/TA are cool, but I doubt they beat %10 full time haste. I dunno, maybe I'll get out ye'ole spread sheet and compare today while I'm at work. I think it really boils down to : If you don't need treasure hunter (either because you already have a thief, or you are more concerned with yellow, or you just need ki etc.) then dancer adds a lot more support.

Yeah thats for sure :/ I also forgot to mention THF's Triple Attack, I think THF's could use some gear to maybe enhance this trait to offset the gear that allows any job to use it. At least a bit more than they already have with the Raider and Assassin gear.

THF just got Triple Attack II. It's 1% more than Triple Attack I. Yay.

This just made me feel all warm and fuzzy. Wish it was dual wield IV, but still all fuzzy.

It's actually my sole motivation for the 99 cap quest. So I can /WAR and feel good about myself.

So, we've been seeing a lot of adjustments to JAs recast. Bashes, circles, and the the biggest one, Jumps. I wonder i wonder, will we see sa/ta recast shorted to fit the new world FFXI? I used to think we would get a new force crit JA back when they announced the update concept, but considering we are also at the 12 JA recast cap, that dream is gone. Adding a new JA with shared recast with either SA or TA would be (probably) silly. I'm really keeping my hopes up for lowered recast now...for some reason. Maybe i am masochist lol.

Unfortunately, I really can't see this happening. They wouldn't lower the recasts on steal/aura steal or mug because of game balance, lol! Dropping flee down to maybe 3 mins would be nice too, but again people would likely be able to abuse it, so it can't be implemented due to balance ><
