[dev1235] Job Adjustments basically making THF worse?

[Byrth]

Dancer buffs are not THF nerfs any more than WAR buffs are THF nerfs. THF doesn't compete with either of the jobs for a party slot.

Plus, these buffs for DNC will likely not even be useful. 20 Atk and 16 Acc is likely going to be the main thing DNC gains from this update.

THF should be more than just a handicap to get better drops.

SE seems to disagree with you, but your premise that THF needs to be buffed to be damage-competitive is a bit misguided. It's one of the best 1H DDs right now against a lot of content purely based on SA/TA. I am almost entirely sure that my THF could outparse my DNC if they were in the same party. My DNC brings Haste Samba and Steps to the table, but THF brings TH. At least THF gets to focus on DDing instead of spending half its time locked up in JA delay limbo.

You might need to read the update again if you think 20 attack and 16 acc is the best thing DNC is getting. Since you play THF I'm sure you understand how important SA/TA is to damage. You must have missed how the flourish III categories are getting a damage boost based on CHA. Most likely how SA/TA gets one based on DEX/AGI.

And what all jobs are one handed DD? NIN, BLU, DNC? All the jobs that got an update except for THF. All these jobs have been getting real buffs except for THF. You know what THF got? Reduced Mug timer, and Seven dagger skill.

I was fine. I figured I just had to wait and eventually a real update for THF would come, but jobs that already got an update are still getting updates. It now feels like instead of THF being last on the list for an update to THF just not getting anything.
