I think Mocchi was simply acknowledging that TH gear is a problem they are aware of but haven't made a decision on how to deal with it yet. I think they should not be afraid of giving us more TH+ gear in the hand/feet slots to replace what we have. They have this thing where if they give something like what we have, it gets to exist being useful forever or something. I do wish they would chill out with their fetish about 'must trade DPS for TH+" I think it's silly to make us have that tradeoff when TH is native to THF. No other job is forced to make such huge sacrifices for so little in return. TH+ gear should compliment our standard gear as an apology and perk for being shafted DPS wise due to wielding daggers in the FF universe.


Thief's Knife is a given when Mocchi speaks about TH gear being in trouble due to recent content releases. They know it's terrible to wield it right now, not only because of it's extremely low DPS but with how they designed TH procs to work. That doesn't necessarily mean they'll do anything but rework TH where we don't have to full time TH gear. Bottom line, they know if they give us a new dagger we will just DW TH knives. It solves nothing. The answer is simple, but they refuse to do simple, they rather us go through some kind of chore to get upgrades. Therefore the answer is not so simple. Sadly, the only way they can go since they will refuse to do the alternatives like raising stats or deleting thief's knife from the game as an extreme, is cap base TH. My desire would be for that cap to be +5 or +6. I don't particularly like the cap being just enough to knock thief's knife out. I think it should be high enough for future upgrades to finally knock thief's knife out of the picture.

Alternatively they could just not give us a new dagger, cap base TH, and have gear replace the dagger so THF can just say goodbye to TH daggers, period.
