Rudra's Storm mods

Unless something has changed, DE should still be the rule of thumb WS outside of Abyssea yeah?

Anyway, my comment wasn't that THF is needed for anything in party play, moreso that other jobs control hate better when it comes down to that, and that the only real benefit is TH. With that in mind, Rudra's shines in party play, or at least has the ability to. Making it so Rudra's is great for solo play really is just going to lead to yet another job taking forever to kill shit because that person has no friends.

It has changed. For THF Anyway, With the advent of a multitude of Critical hit rate/Dmg Gear and the Job Traits (Critical Attack Bonus) to supplement Evisceration, it is better outside than it was at 75.

Heck, Even at 75, If you had X's Knife it was actually very close in favor of Evisceration!

I fail to see how making Rudra's a decent unstacked WS is at all related to jobs Soloing more? The only thing it will do is improve the WS to not suck when unstacked. Having Rudra's not suck unstacked isn't going to amass a bunch of THFs soloing things.

Rudra's won't stop Blizzaja from killing a THF, and if its something that doesn't wipe them? They're already doing it with Evisceration... Having Rudra's not suck unstacked will simply help a THF keep Aftermath up without having to sacrifice WS damage.

THF is a limited job, Its WS don't need to be limited too. Your yourself admit THFs only use is TH, which frankly they're not even amazing for that when anyone /THF can do it just about as good, theres no reason our best Weaponskills should be stuck with limitations as well.

I thought so. I didn't do any actual testing, and don't have much critical hit gear, maybe you could make Evisceration better with what's out there (with higher Critical Attack Bonus trait too), but I noticed Dancing Edge to be generally better outside.

King's Justice/Raging Rush isn't an entirely fair comparison though, since KJ's stats are closer to RR's than DE's are to RS's. Also, King's Justice has only 1.0 fTP as well at 100%, which is when you usually WS. So it's not that surprising to see RR win out in most cases, critical WS or not.
