5ftp and critting is way too much. Expecially when (for some reason) daggers are supposed to do the least damage in the game. But 5ftp at 100% (maybe 7ftp @ 300) wouldn't be too shaby. Although RS can't completely beat DE/Evis currently, it sure isn't so far behind(a ~50 damage difference on too weak). But being the best ws regardless of situation would certainly be nice.

On THF, SE already say that they want us to be a party job. Needing SA/TA for RS i think is reasonable enough. And with SA/TA only, i use RS 70% of the time inside abyssea, and 100% of the time outside. If we do get a 3rd force crit JA (i hope we are getting) it's going to be even more awesome.

Still, increasing RS damage specially when stacked with TA, goes hand in hand with increasing out hate management potential.
I agree with a lot, But even if we are a party job (its FFXI, every job is a party job...) I just don't think making THF so extremely limited in its capabilities is justified. (I know you're speaking from what the devs said and not personal opinion here)

I'd say WAR is a party job, but theres no dumb restrictions on its power :|.

On the topic of Rudra's and over, I don't think its too far fetched. Think of it this way... Right now at 300%TP Rudra's is 5.25 mod, So if it was updated to be 5.0 with Crit chance, It wouldn't be any more powerful than it was at 300% before the update, It would just be more useful Unstacked.

Even if it was changed to that, it still wouldn't come close to a VS, Ukkos, Etc outside or Inside Abyssea, It would simply make it above-par with Evisc at 100% TP (when you should be WS'ing)

The goal would be to simply not steal its power, but also to make it great unstacked. THF can remain a party job and still not have the limitation placed on it. I would like to think in FFXI, a party oriented game, the Devs can at least see the logic in unbinding/restricting THF.

the job itself is already on the final nail in the coffin so to speak, loosening one nail wouldn't hurt :X
