Switch it in when the mob is almost dead?
THFs that feel they don't need to do damage are like BRDs who feel they don't need to cure.

Other considerations: X's Knife. While I wanted this for such a long time, I honestly don't think the slight delay advantage and the extra critical damage is going to outweigh such a massive increase as 40% OAT (on a high base D Dagger at that).
And while I admit the OAT dagger is a tough contender, it's 40% DA on one hand that's mutually exclusive to our natural TA and Brutal Earring's DA. So, yeah, assuming /nin, take all of ours hits, cut it by 50%, then cut it by 90%, then cut that by 95%. 40% of what's remaining will DA. It's still up there as one of the best combos, but lets not over-glorify it. All of our weapon skills(that matter) besides Dancing Edge is boosted immensely by the X's knife.
Personally, I'm still working towards an X's knife (and a Mandau at the same time) and I'm going to be PISSED if they don't let us augment the X's knife somehow.
