i dont get what you are trying to compare here, a pugilist and rouge from world of warcraft? thief only dealt increased damage from behind in ff11. doesnt even come close to convincing me a monk is a thief reborn in ARR/ ill believe it when i see a class named Thief.

and for the record if you want to know what a thief does in the final fantasy world this is what they do.
STEAL --> the nature of being a thief
run/hide --> the often had a better run/flee rating
mug --> steal and deal damage
throw --> use items in your invetory to deal damage
and in the case of final fantasy XI they controlled enmity by securing it on a chosen target which if you want to compare thief to another thief in an MMO, this one would be more appropriate to make the comparison to.
