Thief>Ninja/Dancer Class/Job

[Nahara]

I don't really see Thief being a Job. Though there seems to be a hive mind mentality that the Classes are completely useless once you get a Job, a Job itself is nothing without the original base class it expanded on. I can see Thief becoming the base class and still holding its normal status without the need to short change its possible job the Ninja. Ninja won't be much without the Thief Class there as its base.

Classes are considered "useless" because the jobs that augment them make running as the class pointless. A Gladiator will never be as good a tank as a Paladin, nor will a Conjurer ever be able to match the power of a White Mage. You're never going to invite a Lancer or Arcanist into your coil run, because Dragoons and Summoners are just flat-out better. I don't want to be forced into playing a Ninja if I ever want to do anything serious. I want to play a Thief.
