don't jinx it!

Well the problem is, Try meleeing on a mob like Voidwrought, You'll never upgrade TH and you'll like get 1 shotted by his first AoE. On Easier mobs, and in Abyssea, its not a big deal, But on soon to come strong End-game Content its where im worried.

Plus, as a THF You must know, You can solo a mob from 100% to 0% and you'll likely never see more than 1 TH upgrade from just meleeing, the rate is horrendous.. Any THF would be better off not meleeing, and sitting back using SA and TA when the timers are up, out of AoE range, not TP spamming the mob, and not being an MP sink

And most people think so too. (Again not in Abyssea/Weak shit, but on truly harder content).
Hmm i think one-shot is going to be an issue for most melees lol. On TH not upgrading, maybe it is currently related to damage? Because even on abyssea i have a hard time upgrading it on stronger stuff. Or maybe, more reasonably, it's just as passive to resist as other en-effects. The rate on normal melee is indeed horrendous >.<, yeah, more of a reason to ppl make thf only go in to sa/ta. More flaws added to the table.
