THF still has a lot of utility. Flee + Perfect dodge along with highest native Evasion+Evasion Bonus traits; best sac puller in the game!

Enmity manipulation tools make it a viable tank in long term fights (Raja, Voidwatch) where WHMs, RDMs, and SCHs will be capping hate. Apparently, tanking is the direction that THF is headed. Too bad it's HP is too low to take any real hit.

THF is also the only one that can stack TH up to 11~12. BST gets TH3, RNG gets TH3, /THF get's TH2. It's obviously next to impossible to tell the difference considering you need huge sample sizes to test drop rates. Either way, TH6~7+ is the reason that THF is guaranteed a spot in a group where as jobs like BST, RNG, and DNC are not.

Is THF getting shafted? In terms of damage dealing, yes, very much so. Is THF getting shafted compared to jobs like DRG and RNG? No.
