THF weapons @ 75

[meeeeeep]

So I know that Blau and Mandau are obviously the best to use, but what daggers are options to use at 75? Could someone give me a list of the in order of best to last? I really don't have a clue what to use~

[vagus]

Mandau/X's Knife
Blau/X's Knife
Blau/Thief Knife

[Tsuko_Asura]

Mandau/X's Knife
X's Knife/Blau
Blau/Thief Knife

<_<

[Thorny]

Mandau/Tariqah+1
X's Knife/Tariqah+1
Blau/Tariqah+1
P.Harpe/Tariqah+1
Harpe/Tariqah+1
Sirocco Kukri/Tariqah+1
Thief's Knife/Tariqah+1

Best to worst(obviously Thief's Knife is best in situations you should be using it, but meh). Substitute Viking Shield if your pdif is below .5 or your accuracy is above 93% without shield. WAR sub for merits, DRK or WHM sub for most endgame, /nin works in dynamis or limbus i suppose /shrug

[Zoot]

If you don't have a Sirocco or X's yet and can't afford a Blau, Behemoth knife +1 and Magnet knife are not bad to use until you get either. They're both pretty cheap, too. I tested Behemoths knife +1 in a double bard party today at mamool and it wasn't bad at all, testing it against sirocco currently (pretty sure sirocco wins out, but can't say that yet!), mostly just to see how much the low delay helps without the additional effect.

Thief's Knife shouldn't be considered in a list like this since it's kinda gay unless you need that extra bit of Treasure Hunter.

I use Blau/Siro, and it works great. Gonna be trying to get X's soon, and when I finish Mandau I'll be hoping for Mandau/X's, but Mandau/Blau until I get it.

Realistically though, without Rare/Ex inclusion, Blau & Behemoth+1 is good I think?

[eva00r]

Good but X's/Blau is better.

[Zanz L. Barre The 3rd]

Mandau/X's > Mandau/Blau > X's/Blau > Blau/Sirocco

[TacoTaru]

I used Behemoth Knife+1/Misercoride+1 until I got Blau and swapped over to Blau/BK+1. Within the next 48hrs I got Sirocco Kukri and X's Knife and swapped to X's/Blau. Now my Sirocco sits in storage collecting dust .

[Marootsoobutsu]

Mandau/X's > Mandau/Blau > X's/Blau > Blau/Sirocco

This is correct.

[altwight]

Mandau/X's > Mandau/Blau > X's/Blau > Blau/Sirocco

This is correct.

agreed

well also blau/behe+1 is good too

[Despain]

Mandau/Tariqah+1
X's Knife/Tariqah+1
Blau/Tariqah+1
P.Harpe/Tariqah+1
Harpe/Tariqah+1
Sirocco Kukri/Tariqah+1
Thief's Knife/Tariqah+1

Everytime I see a thief exping with a thief knife, I want to strangle a kitten.

For /NIN I use Blau/Sirocco, for /DRK or /WAR, blau/tatami.

Also, when you're doing like HNM or w/e you don't HAVE to have thief's knife on the whole time. Use your normal setups til a lower % and when you WS and you know you wont get 100Tp before it dies swap to thf knife.

[Chen]

For /NIN I use Blau/Sirocco

^ best outside any mandau or x's combo, if you're going /nin

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as we are not quite sure as to how Treasure Hunter gears (read Thief's Knife and AF2 Hands) work, I personnally wouldn't risk this for now.

[Vaxx]

No love for stylet?

I offhand stylet/thief's knife, but I'll be the first to say thf is not my strong job.

[Zoot]

So shortly after making that post I went 2/23 for X's knife, and we are now completely done with that bc. (1/23 Z's trident, and Damascene Clothe)



Good luck thread ftw.

Also no love for Stylet. It's a sucker's knife. Sell it and save for a Blau, or camp sirocco and rack in the cash.

SE said that it's like a debuff and that the highest TH will stick, so whacking a mob once with your TH gear on should be sufficient.

[zoobernut]

For /nin I usually use Blau/Sirocco if I am fighting puk or anything that gets healed by the wind damage I go blau/Matrons I would eventually like to go X's/Blau.

[el_tio]

Where do ppl think P.Harpe/Blau rank? It would be a better WS combo, tho the TP gain would sink. 12% higher base damage on weaponskills vs 13% faster tp gain roughly.
