thats y u start the battle with SC >>""

I was a SA TA buddy for the THF in my party for a long time. It worked pretty well.

Here is what we did...

THF range pulled. WAR provoked. DRG (me) and THF got behind monster and SA -> Viper Bite.

Most of the time the WAR was able to get hate back (especially once I had High Jump). The problem is that sometimes my damage output was so high that between that and the hate I got from SA, I wound up with hate during the entire battle. As we all know, DRG is not a tank.

Once we got into our late 30's and my ability to take damage started to really suffer, we switched tactics. Now what we are doing is this...

THF range pulls. DRG (me) provokes. THF gets behind monster and SA - Viper Bite. WAR provokes (just in case). If needed DRG High Jumps. This works much better.

In the near future we will be making another change. Our THF now has Hide -> SA and will be using this more often. We are also going to wind up with both a WAR and a PLD in our static so the THF can SA off one of them. This will be especially good since my ability to take hits is going to continue to decline and I will be looking to maximize my usefulness as a DD.

That would mean skipping SC, the only THF who has ever kept up with me in TP gain had a kraken club.

[GSDragoon]

As of now, me and the THF usually get TP at similar times.

[Lahfiel]

Yeah, 60+ a THF without accuracy gear usually has TP40-50 by the time I get TP100. :sweat:

It all works out on VT/barely IT I guess, stuff is near-dead enough to save SC. Just not in every situation. I grouped with same THF from 40-62.

[Corin Gedaliah]

I've found that not only do I work with THF, but I work best with THF. I've never PT'ed with a THF with Kraken, so none have ever kept up with my TP gain, but I've also never had a problem with hate.
