Someone at SE didn't think this thing through very well, but that's just me being Captain Obvious.

The new TH hierarchy:
1. Thief
2. Ranger
3. Support job thief
4. Other jobs
The thing is that by using this logic the nerf should never have happened. To get TH a BST calls a THF pet, and as it is a THF it should be at tier 1. Just like when a PUP calls their automaton with a spiritreaver head it is a mini BLM, I do not see people asking for PUP automatons to be nerfed because they can cast tier V nukes.
