I wouldn't say "Destroy", The WS itself is rather powerful, In Voidwatch I've peaked 3k+ Stacked or higher. I don't really pay much attention, I Can dig up some parses. But its pretty good.

But yah, Mercy Stroke/Rudra's is what puts it to shame, But your THF Friend should use it -alot- If you're fighting a mob you zerg/Beat to piss almost non-stop. (Like say, Akvan, or anytime you have a Fanatics up)

Personally I just don't really see Thf used often outside of Abyssea or Dynamis, which is why I brought those two events up. In Dynamis, you lose out on theoretical WS frequency because you're fighting a lot of weak monsters and waiting for procs a lot, which means you're basically able to SA every WS. In Abyssea, Evisceration will beat it unstacked so there's no contest there either.
Well, It really does perform quite well in dynamis, Unstacked and Stacked - Again, Unless you have Rudra's Mercy.

Either way, I think despite how baddly i word somethings, We essentially agree. its great uNstacked/Stacked if you don't have a Relic. Still, as far as THF Weaponskills Go? its #1 Unstacked, #3 Stacked.

I use it enormously, But this will probably slow down when i get my Mandau :X
