MNK/THF is a good combo. I wouldn't recommend using it in exp parties until 60+ when you have Trick Attack available. Ha! Look at me talking like I'm a high level Monk. :p

Seems the main reason most Monks sub THF 60+ is to trick onto the tank after closing the level 3 Light skillchain with Dragon Kick (Dragon Kick is level 65 or 66, right?) on our skeleton buddies.

Personally though, Sneak Attack and Treasure Hunter isn't enough to make me ditch my Warrior sub during levels 1-59. But it's a fine combo though, especially for farming.

/thf just doesn't compete to berserk and double attack from war sub in terms of raw dmg output. Only time it is semi viable is 60+ like was stated to sa+ta onto tank, but this is a sacrifice of your dmg output.

i played mnk/thf from the beginning and its great ...
ok, mnk/war causes more dmg but my WS till the war sub gets bezerk are just awesome.
i'm heading to the 60. now and from 30-55 i got about 3-4 invites, just form your own party.
i recommend taking a mnk/war with you becaus mnk/war + mnk/thf are just great, they own "everything" :angel:

You get berserk and sneak attack both at 30mnk/15 sub. Berserk will cause a lot more dmg than the sneak attack, and the difference only becomes greater at 50/25 when war gets you double attack. No reason to use thf before 60 except being to lazy to lvl war sub.

Hmm...main reason to use /THF is for SC burst damage (if it's a one or two-hit WS), so it is useful from 30+. Of course, /WAR will definitely have a higher DPS over time. Then, at lvl 60+, as stated before, it obviously becomes more effective by being able to pour hate onto the tank through your WS.

Mnk/thf SATA Dragon Onto bones = Niceness, hits 1k+ easy and if youre lucky a nice lurvly 1k+ light on top.

Thats with a 3 step mind.

Tank + mnk/war + mnk/thf is a really good combo for exping 66+.

Once youre like level 73...you wont need a blm... :p

I did a 2x mnk/thf + mnk/war + nin/war + 2x whm pt in king ranps last week, hello chain #6 with no blm to be seen whatsoever. :p

Mnk/thf isn't all that hot. Pre-60, SA just doesn't do a whole lot for you. SA raging fists is only slightly better a normal one. It really takes both dragon kick and being the skillchain ender to make /thf sub worthwhile, maybe howling fist too, but I've still got 17k experience and a few skillpoints before that.

And nothing can really compare to the awesomeness that is double attack+raging fists. I smacked a terror pugil in terrigan for 571 damage when double attack kicked in 3 or 4 times on my raging fists (18% returned tp). Personal high for an experience mob.
