I appologize to the DRG community again.

You want to be doing more damage than dedicated DDs
No we don't, None of us want to perform at the same level as a MNK, WAR, SAM, or DRG, At all. We never asked that. We want to be doing slightly more damage than "Shit tier".

Outside Abyssea half the jobs you named Wreck THF up and down the street blindfolded in terms of damage. COR being the exception, maybe PUP. RNG is an amazing DD, moreso in Voidwatch where you rarely get to Melee anything higher than T2. NIN is better than THF in the DD department as well thanks to much higher overall DPS attributed to Dual Wield V.

If we're going the "Vision" route, the master of "puppetmaster" Was never intended to be a DD, they had a C combat skill rating and no Melee gear (They were on all mage shit), they expected PUP to be SMN2.0 working off their Subjob and having pets fight. This vision changed to make PUP a better DD because it was laughed at becuase of this.

So is THF. the only reason THF isn't condemned to Lolpup territory is TH.

I just don't think TH is an excuse to keep the job mediocre in every other field. Thats not a good reason at all. Otherwise You'll have LS THF Mules running around again. Back at 75 most good LS's had 1 Token THF and/or LS mule who sat around in Thief's Knife and Assassin Armlets who hit the mob, and Afk'd. by 99 This will happen again except with new boots if we keep going the direction we are.

Its not asking for much, Only a small boost, something meaningful to our combat.
