Having made use of both pieces of info, with THM being my 2nd most played class after ARC since 1.20 I can safely say that no, THM DPS never even gets close to average ARC DPS for that fight.

The thing about killorder in phase II is, you're killing all 7 anyway. Sure a certain order may assist with THM's MP recovery, but overall it's not going to help enough. The gap is too drastic. A nuking CNJ is much more effective in Phase II than a THM.

There is no way a nuking Conj can keep up with the DPS of a nuking THM. He just has other abilities that lend to better survival. Just as a Thm is gimped healing, and Conj is gimped Nuking. You have to work with the skill of your fellow players. If none of them can keep up the dps to be just below archers then your are probably right and they should not be a thm.

Just because you can't/or choose not to do it doesn't mean it isn't a viable strategy.

It works for us.
