Thief Treasure Hunter

[Karbuncle]

IDK, I think they got it. I don't think they're saying we shouldn't get a replacement for it, just that in its current state of affairs its quite worthless to even have on you.

Oh and that pretty much every THF Adapts the "IF IM DERE I SHUD TRESUR HUNTR OKY?" and uses that as an excuse to completely half ass the job to the point they're gimper than sin and try to justify it with "I'm only here to TH". So yah, I hate Thief's who say that kind of crap like it means they got a free ride to being gimp and useless outside of hitting the mob then AFK Netflix.

Just because you're invited to get drops doesn't mean you should be stupid about it. "Max TH" is the truest form of a big fat placebo pill. As a THF Main, Anything past 6 is doing next to nothing. While the Law of Probability may mean that it doesn't do absolutely nothing, That law also means you might open your dryer and find your clothes already folded from tumbling... Which the odds of happening are so infinitely low that.. well, incidentally is probably the same odds that you'd of got the drop if your TH was just one more higher.

I really don't mean to be harsh about it but too many a Thief adapt the "Its okay I'm gimp" mindset and use Treasure hunter as a Justification. Theres a good Thief on FFXIAH who's parsed just 0.5% Behind an Oatix MNK on tojil runs and even above another simply from playing right and they TH'd the mobs just fine and likely contributing more to the success of the run than your average Pick up DD ever could.

here:

After people started leaving, I jumped my THF to the main DD party and the results weren't bad. First run had me at 14%, drg 15%, mnks 16%/16%/18%/18%. Second run had me at 17.5%, mnks at 16%/17.8%/18%/18% and one pickup mnk at 10%; my damage picked up a bit because I wasn't sharing piercing weak with the drg anymore. Third run we wiped because being a DD, main curing and being the only stunner is a bad idea. Seems alt+tab'ing can only do so much. I don't run a bot, so people died, stun resisted and we wiped.

And also, the core members of my group are all top tier players, have mostly capped gear and everyone has mega boss weapons, and know how to play their job well, so I'm not parsing against a bunch of gimps.

Thief can be good and TH Too, You just have to not suck, not be lazy, and not use TH as an excuse to fulltime a sh*t stain of a dagger.
