Screwed again: Proposed THF job adjustments.

I don't play thf at a high level so feel free to set me on fire for this one...

Would having to knock the mob down to 1/4 HP before you can steal preven the steal/hide thing? This way there is no real quick rinse and repeat Gil spinner. Or at least have it so you steal a pants item if the HP is higher and then a shiny thing once you (or the party) have nearly KO'd the mob.

It's not really a bad idea except for the fact that it's not needed. As mentioned before it's simply not possible anymore.

Seriously, I would trade the ability to steal any items at all for the ability to steal temp items with high success rate on a lower timer. With the exception of BB, I haven't used steal with the intention of stealing an item in probably 2 years. If SE is so afraid of steal they need to change it completely instead of letting it linger in the realm of terrible. When 3 of the worst JAs in the entire game are on 1 job something needs to be done.

If you aren't sure which 3 I'm talking about.. Mug Steal and Despoil. The only other JAs that I can think of on the same level of useless/terrible are Gauge and Scavenge.
