There is a debate on FFXIAH right now, about TH proc'ing and this post is being referenced a few times. We are arguing about how to properly play the Thief job so that we can employ increases to the rate at which TH is proc'ing. Some questions:
1.) Does critical hit rate probably an increased opportunity for TH procs, when compared to normal auto-attacks?
2.) For each TH proc that occurs, will increasing the amount of TH in gear by 1 improve the chance of the next TH-proc to occur?
3.) Expanding on question #2: If I increase my TH in gear by 1 for every TH proc, I am maintaining the "gap" you describe above, so let's say: If I wear TH+5 and proc TH9, then I increase my gear to TH6: Can you tell us what improvement to the probability of TH10 proc occurs here? If the answer is none, we can stay in TH5 gear throughout the fight. If the answer is a very small probability increase, such as from 1% to 1.1% chance of that TH10 proc occurring, I think we deserve to know so we can play and swap gear accordingly.
Please note:
Your answers to these 3 questions will tell us: (1) Should THFs wear critical hit gear to increase TH procs? (2) Should we increase our TH+ amount in gear for every subsequent TH proc that occurs? (As you can see, this clearly effects playstyle and how we will swap gear when aiming for certain items).
Please help us play Thief effectively so we can bring the most to our parties and group content! Your help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
