Screwed again: Proposed THF job adjustments.

[Karbuncle]

15% attack and lowered critical hit rate is going to lower your damage on voidwatch NMs because daggers have low weapon rank Voidwatch NM's have crazy DEF and 15% attack isn't going to raise your overall damage as much as 10% critical attack rate.

Give THF a force crit JA that works from any direction which provides a cRatio bonus in place of the DEX and AGI based weapon DMG bonus of SATA. Said ability would have a 20 second cooloff, and share it's timer with Sneak Attack *and* Trick Attack.

Give THF a stance that increases attack and critical hit rate 15% but lowers evasion and defense by 20%

Give THF a stance that increases defense and lowers enemy critical hit rate by 15% and lowers critical hit rate and attack by 10% (this is mutually exclusive with the above like Hasso and Saigen)

Sorry for the mega bump, But the idea of this ability was to be used on fights where you did not melee. You know, the Ironclad Voidwatch mob, the Chloris one, the harpy... Pretty much all of the ones with annoying AoEs and heavy damage AoEs where most people play it safe and not put 17DD on it and generally try to proc before killing.

It would be a stance used specifically for far away fights, Not melee. I'm sorry if you missed that part. I imagined that your crit rate wont matter too much when your only goal is to run up > SA > TA > Run away, And it would be a decent trade off.

Wait for the dagger and join me in saying OMFG!

First good news for THF in months!!!

I don't think a dagger is going to fix the job, but even i have to admit, that it one bad ass weapon.

i wonder what severe damage is on that @_@

[Karbuncle]

Probably a fancy way of saying Occ. Deals Triple/Quad damage.

I understand all your concerns and I am doing my best to communicate them all to the development team. Just hang in there a bit while I try to get some additional comments.

I know Ive said it before but i don't blame you for any of this camate , And i know you're absolutely doing your job to your fullest. I do not doubt that.

I'm actually thrilled you've taken such an interest in our concerns... It really does make me a bit happy to know you're trying your best for us. Even if they only give you what we think is bad news :X

Dude please express to the dev team that we don't want their ridiculous stat steals, what we want is an increase in triple attack stats an increase in dual wield and an attack bonus, not abilities make them job traits

I'm sure Camate's seen my http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...ad-Contribute! thread.

He knows what we want He'll do his best to relay it to them.
