In current set up I sacrifice a whole 3% haste and 3% DA to wear two pieces of TH gear, which isn't bad. However, I refused to constantly swap in/out TH knife due to how bad the D rating is at lvl 99 let along keep it on full time. I also like how Camate states keeping TH gear on increases the proc rate based on JP player base testing, but doesn't cite his source nor reveal just how much of a difference it makes based on these findings.

SE does a wonderful job of using TH as a scapegoat to deny giving thf additional performance upgrades, but after seeing how certain content is constantly removing the desire for TH not to mention the "hate placing abilities" of thf due to a poorly dealt with enmity system (hey SE, there should be some jobs with an ability to have hate over the current cap, just saying!) I seriously doubt SE will ever give an upgrade to an outdated dagger let alone a new option with better damage rating. I mean, look at how well they have dealt with rdm! Everybody wants a Rdm, right guys?!? (/sarcasm) Thus my hope they will ever do anything to upgrade or add a better TH dagger is non-existent at this point.
