As far as I know, SAM is still handily better than THF
don't tell that to the thieves on ffxiah posting parses of them crushing koga sam's!
New GTK looks ok for Incursion just to handle the amnesia bullshit Velkks do, but eh...
I'm a THF, I've always liked parsing well on it. I want Rudra's nerfed. I hate the playstyle, I hate how blatantly OP it is (seriously just close a SC with Rudra's while Largantua is using a TP move and he dies in seconds, some luck, but retarded as shit).
I want to get back to Mercy Stroke while SA/TA is up and Evisceration in between. I liked it, I was good at it, and I still did solid damage. Make Rudra's a better move at 2k+ TP, sure, but...not that much better, fuck.
I agree with you Kanriel, I have two friends who are just crazy about thief and they always do well on it (before rudra's buff) They echo your sentiment.
So looks like a new bullet in there? Stinger bullet DMG:254 Delay:249
Ranged Accuracy-20
Unity Ranking: Ranged Attack+20-30. Seems inferior to Achiyal. Bullet though.
Umm no since they don't proc on wses
Yeah, I'd probably stick to using Achi bullet for regular shots... but maybe Stinger for WS (at least for nothing extremely evasive)? It's Unlimited shot + GMB/PPA all over again! Besides, it's gonna be a single bullet drop off KV 2.0, and you'll probably accidentally shoot it as soon as you get it >(
It was an example, of how the Rudra's change can completely marginalize some (new!) content.
I wanted some THF changes, but nothing like Rudra's.
I wanted a higher crit rate, maybe an Impetus-like JA.
I want Subtle Blow.
I also want TA to fully remove all enmity (either give current enmity to target we TA, or just remove it and give TA enmity to TA target) so THF can actually control hate in some capacity. THF wouldn't need to be the greatest DD in the world to get a spot if they could make it so a tank could actually tank content.
