It's the best TP for THF for DD purposes.

Only time I wouldn't was when I really needed evasion, and would use ungur instead. Otherwise, I don't see any reason not to.

I am using Ungur for EVA, Bmrng for TP and Qirmiz Tathlum for WS/SA/TA atm.

Isn't tathlum in the ammo slot ie eats all your tp when you swap to that from boomerang?

You don't lose top swapping in ammo iirc.
You lose it when you swap ammo to ranged tho.

Boomerangs are in the ranged slot (ie bow) while tathlum is ammo. Thats the point I was attempting to make.

is it even worth swapping in at that point?

Gonna loose TP is I ever swap it in for SA, TA or WS. Even if it's only a bit.

It's still better to keep the boomerang on for tp/ws, because you would be losing the TP gained from the WS itself after swapping back from the tathlum. As for evasion, you should be able to cap eva on anything in the game without needing unger. I fulltime raider's on thf.

Even if the 5% Crit increase adds 200 dmg to your WS (Equating to about 2 critical hits and equivalent TP), it'll lower your WS frequency.

hmmm, last thought on this...

When I am tanking and I lose hate i usually switch to my TP setup and then back to my EVA setup when I get hate back.

Gonna prob have to not use the ungur at all now as I would lose tp by swapping and that would end up hurting the capability to gain hate through dmg... hmmmm

Guess it's finally time to put the Ungur in the MH
