Question regarding THF/COR/RNG (noob returning)

[Ulth]

Not one person has mentioned the utility that THF offers through Feint and Conspirator, which can mean the difference between capping acc, or not on high tier content. Not to mention the extra subtle blow from Conpirator can reduce the TP spam of mobs.

The problem with Feint and Conspirator is they can't be up that often. Feint at best can be up a fourth the time of the fight, and Conspirator a fifth. Also with the way tp works even if thfs could keep Conspirator up all the time they would still be the leading cause of tp gain for mobs.

This. And with the very nature of accuracy, if you need those time limited buffs to cap acc, you're having much larger issues than trying to justify Thf as a DD. Accuracy should be capped full time. At best, with a tight knit group or just yourself, you could make sets that lack accuracy in favor of mutli hit, crit+, att, etc for when Feint is up, but such coordination isn't common.

It's funny the nature of accuracy makes thf undesirable in another way too. What used to be thfs best defense skill is now more or less useless. While it's easy to cap evasion on weak fodder mobs, mobs that actually matter like NMs typically have capped accuracy against thfs, and many tp moves never miss. That coupled with how everything seems to be AoE attacks now makes it hard to stay alive on the front lines without having an exceptional whm. There is the true advantage of rngs over other DDs, they can deal their damage from a safe distance without adding additional stress to the healer all while putting their hate on the tank with decoy shot.

Also I must add thank you whms who know what they are doing. You guys make it possible to do set ups that aren't rng based.
