Bully: it's really bad.

Wait, wait! Did you just say procs >>> THF abilities and job traits? Blasphemy!

Yeah its pretty awesome actually. They give us more Treasure Hunter updates to try and shut us up, but with each update they make Treasure Hunter less and less useful.

I go DNC/NIN + WHM/THF dualbox and pull 120 coins per run not including 100s as long as I can avoid spacing out and wiping. I get a 100-piece about every 2~3 runs, so call it 150 coins per run. 1.5mil per run on my server, also known in some circles as 150 Alexandrite.

Will have to wait for official translation, but from what my JP friend is telling me, the TH upgrade chance got scrapped and instead you can SA from any direction while Bully is up. A JA useful for alliance play, a JA useful for solo. At least with this I'll make some use of it.

Now, if only SE changed intimidation chance from 0-1 per 30s to something like 0-0.1 and made it a 60s recast ability as a trade-off...
Any takers?

Very interested to hear this translation.

Even it they did scrap the TH boost, being able to Sneak Attack while tanking more often is a boost to TH enhancing as well.

The wonderful thing about even using steal+ gear (I have the entire set of items excluding Bartholomew's knife), is that the skill is still highly unreliable as far as successful item steals are concerned. And i think it is level based; there's no other attribute that really affect the success rate of steal.

I did dynamis for like a year with no steal gear, then got bored and built a set. after 6 months I decided that I had a better chance of losing a coin due to full inventory than I had of stealing an extra coin. So I stored it all. Its that good.

/confirm. I still have so many Steal-pieces cluttering up my /sack, and even I don't know why. I didn't use them in a long time (and even if they would help, enemies have nothing worth stealing anymore).

I was just thinking that myself, I have all of the +steal pieces in my mog sack...I guess maybe I've been wanting ot /toss it actually but I'm affraid that the moment I do, they'll pull a fast one on me, make steal worth a damn and rabbit charm prices will skyrocket again.

The JP post is pretty hard to understand via google translate but if that is the case it might be the best JA THF has gotten since Trick attack. I'm kinda pumped. I hope it's what it sounds like. I'm already running over the possibilities in my head.
