Stealing items and mug + getting good and rare items from Bosses would unbalance the game if they could steal high rare gear thats better than ilvls because there would be no point otherwise.
Zidane used like..some dual dagger weapon thing iirc, it was cool..but yea.

The THF I envision in XIV would be a really fast attacker, with lots of crits and multiple backstab abilities. I love dagger classes that have massive crits from the back Ninja kind of has that but its not a heavy DD...I am looking for a heavy DD. The dagger classes from L2 would be nice to see too. To me though ninja just feels like a support DD, it can't out DPS a SMN, BLM, MNK...etc. I mean if it did I think you have a really bad smn, blm, mnk..blah blah...

Just like how there is no heavy ranged pure DPS class (Ranger) in this game yet...well there isn't a dagger version of that either yet I kinda gave up hope for those though...lol dancer is my last hope for a DPS class that I may enjoy
