THF Gear Advice

basically as good as you can do with strictly AH daggers, but STR Thokcha still beats both in either hand with the sets I've plugging into mot's THF2 sheet

I've got Raider's Head +1 but not +2 yet. Once I +2 it I'll switch. Also, I've been using Exenterator, which is 4/5 presently and getting really good - what should the priorities be for stacking stats on it? AGI > Atk > STR > DEX?

AGI > attack > STR > DEX if you're using SA.

And the only time I ever used VV on THF was before I had RR/GH/Apoc. No idea why you'd be using VV.

Not only that, but you'd be using Evisceration in Abyssea and not Exenterator.

Buy a Rancor Collar (I'm sure you've heard this before) It's only 150k on your server so it's an easy pickup for TP/WS

edit:
also right it'll be Rancor/Justiciar's/Nefarious for Evis (Love might find a place, but I always get Nefarious/Justiciar's ahead when paired with Rancorous Mantle)

Can't say I have ever used VV on THF, or any other job for that matter. The TP regen is so small it's rarely noticable, and if you need a STR atma you are better of going with Stout Arm.

My THF atmas have always been either: RR GH SS, or RR GH Apoc depending on if I wanted HP+crit, or Apoc.

STOP with rancor collar ITS USELESS FOR THF ABSOLUTELY shame on you

Get Razed Ruins immediately. It'll be the best thing you ever do.

LS folks dragging on RR NM since no one's got KI's for it... buncha losers right?

Evasion is capped yep, I have 1 AGI/evasion Kila in progress from before I quit that I'm planning to finish up soon. Also I had no idea about that Alcide's Harness! I have Bonecraft 100, Leather 60 and Synergy 70 so I know what I'm doing when I check the AH next time! Thanks for the tip.

There's another reason for THF to use VV, besides the +str and minute regain buffs it has. Double Attack procs fairly often from it. Either VV/RR/Apoc, VV/GH/Apoc, VV/SS/Apoc (Apoc always in third atma slot assuming you're tanking or soloing or for those "oh ***" times, outside of tanking/soloing Apoc can and should be switched with something else.) is a beastly atma set-up for THF/DNC. Of course, if subbing NIN, can swap VV for something else since the TP gained from DA won't amount to much in survival.

@ Shadida: I'm going to assume you have evasion capped, m'yes? Make 2x Evasion/Agi Thokchas (I just know I'll probably be laughed at for suggesting that) and keep boxer's mantle on for evasion skill+, you'll possibly find you won't need all that other evasion gear after that, could go with haste or TH gears then and still survive. I should know, made 2 myself. Aside from a very rare occasion that calls for insane evasion rating, I normally do fine swapping Thief's knife out for second evasion Thokcha.
Also consider swapping Scorp. Harness +1 for Alcide's harness +1, subtle blow is not to be underestimated for THF and the switch only results in 1 less point of evasion from gear. Of course, keep scorp. harness +1 for your other jobs that can't use Alcide's.

AGI Thokcha has its uses, and may find itself more useful with Aldoiun. That said, with a single AGI Thokcha (Kila at the time), at Lv90, a THF had capped evasion on most enemies.

@ Kylos: Just because you personally haven't found it useful, doesn't mean others have found it to be otherwise. I use mine for THF/NIN blink-tanking with capped haste in all other slots. Not to mention the edit SE did a while back that makes agi directly affect subtle blow trait (which NIN and DNC both have). As for not dual-wielding +str thokchas, swapping one for Aluh... I'm not even going to go in-depth into how uninformed about the mechanics of delay for dual-wield jobs you are, but lower delay on both hands means faster attacks, even with capped haste from gear.
Don't get me wrong, Aluh's a good choice for the other jobs that can use it, but just not for THF, DNC and BRD.

even in abby, 5% crit rate is never useless. sometimes outclassed, but never useless.
