If you get the chance, could you ask a question I've really been dying to hear the answer to?
What role does SE feel Thief plays endgame?
If if it is to drop Treasure, how come Thief's Knife and Assassins's Armlets have such a low measured impact on Treasure Hunter II, which is a level 45 Job Trait?
If it is to help balance hate, has SE not realized that with a Thief's current tools, endgame tanks (HNMs, Sea Jailers, Gods, etc.) do not need a Thief's help at holding hate, and even if they lose hate, a Thief's piddly SATA damage will not get them back hate?
