Steal, Aurasteal, Despoil & Mug Discussion

Nebo!

Seen you around a lot and like a lot of your ideas.

I think that 90% of what you have listed in your post is pure gold and would revive the dying job class (ok not dying... just losing it's place in the game... I mean who NEEDS hate control...). It really seems like thf has the most ridiculous shared timers of any job in the game...

Accomp/Collab

Steal/Aura/Despoil

and the fact that mug is on a 15 minute timer is just....... sad...

DEVELOPERS!!!
You've done a fantastic job at making gil almost irrelevant aside from consumables on the AH. Great job! now that gil means nothing... can you change mug? please?? 5 minute timer, inflicts damage and chance to stun is so Final Fantasy of olden days.

I like your ideas but I would change a few things so as not to "overpower" them (and some general commentary notes):

Hide - keep it the same shedding hate from sight only NQ mobs, added effect of sneak/invis/deod if you are not on any hate lists.

AoE Flee - Would be awesome.... just had to say that <.<;

Perfect Dodge - GIVE US WHAT YOU ALLUDED TO 5 YEARS AGO!!!! PERMA SNEAK ATTACK DAMAGE MODS FROM BEHIND WITH PD UP!!! (still 2 hours ability)

Evade - Thf third eye... yea... I like that... just had to say that too...

Despoil - Everything you have there listed... but 50% chance to land, random effect from that list...

Steal - Temp items... fk yes... please... NQ steal and crit steal ... NQ = temp potion or cathlicon... HQ = steel ingot (lolcorbulletjoke)

Conspirator - ::Leave Conspirator Alone - Brittney.jpg:: (maybe only half potency if you have mobs attention)

Universal steal timer of 30 seconds = win

Dear SE,

If you don't want to give us survivability boosts like nin and dnc have natively... give us this... thank you

lol oh wow. Thanks a lot!

I think you have some good points, but I am very very very very very against this. I think if Despoil is going to be made useful at all it must to be able to be specific and accuracte. Even if only one or two from that list of suggesstions made it into the game, or they had to make it a longer recast, it would still be vastly more useful than a random effect because you could plan for it or use it in tactics.

Random + inaccurate is just not useful.
