  • MNK/THF or THF/MNK

    I am agonizing over this question, i have not a clue which path to choose.

    On one hand, a MNK/THF will give me great attack power, and i will be able to attack 2 time sper turn as a monk does with h2h.
    But, Question

    1) I fi turn THF/MNK will i still attack twice per turn if i use h2h, because when i tried h2h with other classes it attacked once. So would having MNK sub still allow for twice attack?

    Also, some of the MNK skills are very good, but as i have heard, not as good as theif skills. Is it worth having MNK main for the skills?

    Question
    2) If i have THF as sub, will i still be able to use Sneak Attack and Trick Attack with MNK main?

    As for THF/MNK, i keep hearing how amazingly powerful Theives are, i hear they are stronger than BKM when they use sneak attack/trick attack. But, i do not see how that is possible.

    Question
    3) How many times can you use sneak attack in a battle? If it's a sneak, then that means once you use it the enemy has spotted you, so you cannot use it anymore right? And how does Trick attack work? Is it something you use after sneak attack?

    I also REALLY want a character that has very high strength, attack power, but also has a lot of evasion/dodge ability. I hear that a THF has the best dodge ability in game (mabye ninja is good too but theif has it also). Is the amount of evasion a theif has even worth having it as main or sub?

    Question
    4) If i want this evasion boost, do i have to have THF as main? or can i have it as sub and still get the boost?

    My race is Elvaan, and as they do not have that much in the way of agility i would think that having THF with MNK would help increase my dodge.

    I also really wnat to be able to attack fast. In other words, as a MOnk, in order to deal the greatest possible amount of dmg you, or any class for that matter, would want to attack as many time as you can. Would having THF as a sub increase the amount of times i attack? And what skill allows it to increase that?

    Also, i have heard that, although THF is usually the best choice for MNKs, WAR can be good too. If it is only good for tanking then i don't really care, i do not plan on tanking THAT much, only if neccessary, or to help. So, is having MNK/WAR or WAR/MNK good only for tanks? or does it have other benefits too? And how do they compare to having THF instead?

    THe main thing is, to sum it all up, what would be best and why?
    MNK/THF or THF/MNK?

    Thanks a ton for your help, i appreciate it greatly!
