TH Procing

[Alhanelem]

SE's answers would tell us if we can prevent TH proc rate from decaying by increasing TH+ in gear by 1 for every TH proc we receive, above TH8.

Maybe I'm out of touch with the available gear, but I thought 8 was the maximum TH attainable from gear?

Regardless, the comments from SE strongly imply that the only factor here is the difference between the current TH on the mob and your TH level. Nothing is "decaying," their statement simply means a larger difference between those two numbers means a smaller proc rate. Considering they said that this is the only factor, there is nothing you can do to prevent the rate from getting worse, other than them releasing gear with more TH on it. I still see no evidence that there are any other factors at work, and frankly, I think SE's explanation is plenty clear.

My previous question remains though- why is this important? Even if there was some way to max out the TH bonus faster, I don't see how this makes THF more relevant. If you want to maximize TH you'll find some way to do it. the time it takes is mostly not important unless the time limit of the content is preventing it. And even then, more drop rate is more drop rate and if people can make something drop easier, they're going to take a THF regardless of how easy maxing the TH is. THF also doesn't have any jobs that compete with it for this effect.
