THF got some good gear, But so did RNG.

IN the end though, outside of Abyssea, I'd wager a RNG could out-DD a THF. THF really gets its bread and butter from Abyssea Atmas. Without them they're not that amazing. They'e okay DD, but their uses outside of Abyssea fall into "TH and gtfo", inside its "Tank, DD, TH and Gtfo" for a lot of groups/lowman.

While they can tank fine outside, They have about the DD capabilities of a potato, cause as a solo tank, They're unable to harness their best assets for out-side Abyssea-DD. SA, and TA. (TA to a lesser extent, You can still coax your mage to come into range for TA if the mob has no bad AoEs >.>)
