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.
