I understand your emotions Carby, but calling devs stupid doesn't help much.
In my defense i named multiple reasons why they could be gimping THF!
1) being Stupid
2) Being scared
3) not thinking theres a problem (Which i guess might fall in line with 1)

Either way, I'm just tired of this job swimming in its own mediocrity with people hiding behind TH as a reason to keep us gimp. I understand trying to convince them to change our job is probably the best bet, but look at RDM, they've been asking for updates for years to where, its at the point RDM is really falling to the back of the line in terms of uses, and yet they still receive nothing.

THF is the same way, We have TH, but its not enough, its nowhere near enough... We need more.

More to the EVA guy a few pages back, yah, Inside Abyssea we're great tanks (i addressed this), but so is every job, I'd go as far as to say BLM/MNK could probably tank in Abyssea, its idiot proof. We're good DD inside abyssea too, again most jobs are.

Its outside content I'm worried about. for instance our EVA does little against voidwatch, because while we could evade normal hits, We cant do enough damage to hold hate at all, and beyond that a lot of new TP moves ignore shadows, and our only defense is our Eva, we're tissue outside of that.

While I'm happy with our state in Abyssea, its outside Abyssea on HNM-level content where I'm concerned. Because the ball is rolling away from abyssea, and THF is getting off 3 stops short of useful it seems. I just don't want our job once again condemned to "Hit the mob and go sit in a corner" level of gameplay that it was for years.

Giving us gimics to melee (upgrading TH) Isn't solving the problem. Giving THF a boost to their Damage is not going to break the job, Stop holding back and help us be useful in a group for more than making more items drop.

I hate to once again bring up other games, But in most other games the Rogue/Thief class is generally the best in spike damage and DPS, in FFXI its a Treasure Hunter-whore and for some unbeknownst reason, an "Enmity controller" (whos bright idea was that?).

and i know i know i could play another job, i have 13 of them, But THF is my favorite, and i can't help but want it to improve. I've given my suggestions in other threads on how to help THF, I could repost them... But maybe later. At least we have spoilers now.
