The THF Master Suggestion Thread Compilation. Read? Contribute!

It was mostly here. I guess I should point out that I wrote that before the TH testing from this forum came out. It's pretty obvious that SE would never consider giving a system like what I describe if they don't even give real TH3.

I posted a version on this forum here.

Thanks Byrth.

As far as an Ambush buff, It could be reworked to give the bonus as long as you're not tanking, similar to Conspirator. This way its universally good so long as you're not in a low-man situation... So on harder content!

However, they'd need to rework its actual effects as suggested here(?) to make it useful too...

at the same time I'm not sure what I'd give up for it. im at 5/5Feint 4/5assn-charge 1/5Aura Steal. I want Aura Steal, I'd Miss my ass Charge if i dropped it to 1/5....

My feint is already dropped to 1. The only time I ever use it is when some WHM mule is trying to proc staff. Currently I'm 5/5 AC 4/5 AS and 1/5 Feint.

i think all the thf needs now is widescan ability. think it will make and complete thf. besides upgrading the effectiveness of treasure hunter abilities. drop rates are extremely low and that ability really doesnt help. widescan would help farm and save time when searching for nms.

It's not smart/easy to be in front of some mobs either. I would take the occasional extra 19% damage any day.

merited Ambush is already a 7.5% increase in hit rate on anything that is tough enough to have a dedicated tank keeping its attention so that you can get behind it, and I notice almost everyone here is skipping it to add AS or AC merits. Its arguably the most powerful of the 3 and nobody uses it. That should give you an idea of how lame it is trying to stay behind a mob all the time.

The catch 22 is that THF doesn't typically doesn't melee on anything that is hard enough to use the acc from ambush. That's my guess as to why no one merits it.

[noodles355]

Ambush merits basically let you remove some acc gear from your SADE or SAEvis set. That's about it.

[Laphine]

I think the reason why no one merits it is because they feel they don't need it. People forgot what it is to have acc issues. But still, the issue never vanished. Or more reasonably speaking, and the reason why i also don't merit it as well, is because i was never again was in a controlled situation where i wouldn't get hate. The boost is already small, and if most of the time i have the attention of the mob, it's even smaller.

[FrankReynolds]

So we agree that buffing it is pointless.

[Laphine]

No, but if it had a bit more to it than acc it could certainly be worthwhile. DNC's Closed Position has both acc and evasion for one. If it added attack, more acc or something else, it could place us in a dilemma.
