I would just buy Aluh. I haven't found a situation where I need an agi thokcha. Anything I'm duoing is easy enough that a hybrid evasion set works and anything that would require a full evasion set is probably being tanked by the real dd's.
You make it sound like real DD`s have evasion lol if thf isn't capping evasion on a mob then a war defiantly isn't.

All jobs can cap pdt/mdt so that's not even an issue, besides raw dmg I see no difference between a thf tank and a DD, other than the DD`s needing more healing.

Well I mean to make it sound like you're not evasion tanking when you reach a certain difficulty so there's no need for evasion daggers because there's no evasion tanking. I can't think of any practical situation where I would need evasion daggers.

I just mentioned one! Although, to be fair, I think it is the only one.

I think he means that you don't get the Signet evasion bonus on mobs that you aren't targeting.

Hello, I picked up my mandau a couple days ago and have a couple questions about my Mercy Stroke sets.

SA Mercy:

Heca Cap has Attack+6 and Dbl Att+3

TA Mercy:


So couple questions:
1. Is thaumus legs/head worth useing over whirlwind/heca?
2. In the SA set would Wanion Belt be better for the added dex?
3. In the TA set would Kudzu Aketon be better than toci?

So I haven't played thf since the golden days of abyssea, but I've suddenly decided to bring it out of retirement. I've been digging through my old gear in an effort to modernize it, and my question now is this: In this day and age, is a full eva build still worth having?
