Dual weild

[Eeek]

I started FFXI as a THF, and it was my first 75. It's been my favorite job for years. It hurts to admit this, but I don't use it anymore unless I, or my group, needs TH.

I have both THF and DNC geared solidly, and my DNC just embarrasses THF. DNC is extremely sturdy in solo and group situations. THF needs support for cures/haste and party members for SA/TA in order to really deal damage. DNC doesn't rely on positional JAs to deal damage, and DNC needs far less support to thrive: Saber Dance, Haste Samba, and self-cures come to mind. Unless THF wants to swing as slowly as a DRK, they need outside sources of haste (I'm not kidding...THF attacks so slowly in comparison to DNC). DNC's AF3+2 set bonus is better, and DNC can generate tons of TP through JAs for more weaponskills and self-skillchains.

What does THF really have aside from TH? Higher dagger skill and evasion skill? Accuracy/Attack is easy remedied through food, and let me know if SE removes evasion Kilas from the game. THF does make better use of Twashtar, and aside from TH, I can't think of much more that they have going for them.

It's clear that SE has never really known what to do with THF. I'd like to play it more, but unless TH is needed, DNC is a stronger job.
