Conspirator New thf abilityFollow

Conspirator (THF Lv.87 Ability Delay: 5 min. Effect Duration: 1 min.)Enhances accuracy and "Subtle Blow" effect for party members within area of effect. Does not affect the party member being targeted by the enemy.

Yep thf gets crap again... Would have expected we would get something like war and mnk are gonna get next update but i guess that would have been 2 powerful o.0.
Well at least im gonna have another excuse when my ls asks stupid questions when i dont tp in th5 or use lol thf,s knife.
TH whore is now rangers job :P

I'm calling it now...it probably will share a timer with feint lol...

And with rng getting TH (sort of) and DNC getting another ability to do more damage...it looks like I have very little reason to play thf in the future...

Here's a thought. I wasn't allowed to melee a lot of old end game HNM's because I fed too much tp. It's pretty evident that S-E is still building up for their new level 99 end game content and I wouldn't doubt that will include PLD tanks at lvl 99 HNMs. I've wanted natural subtle blow for years, and while it's not a trait it's a step in the right direction to cure an old headache (the potency will have to be determined). S-E said they had plans for all jobs, and those plans included allowing thief to deal greater damage in end game as well as a few other tweaks. We should get TH III trait this update, and I'm one of the strongest DD's in abyssea thanks to RR and SA + abyssites. People have told me they're jealous of all I bring to the table because I can tank like a champion while out DDing most of them AND I have the highest treasure hunter trait and evasion to boot. Whenever I stack a SA or TA + evisceration it turns heads, but my DoT is phenomenal as well since my 58% melee crit rate plus solo sa/ta alone are terribly destructive! S-E hasn't forgotten me, they just haven't overbuffed me directly through abilities, but I still feel more powerful than ever and others agree that thf is a great job.

It's like Banalaty said; I'm expecting amazing stats on thf AF3 body and hands and I have no idea what other content they will add, but I expect two more max hp/mp abyssites and another furtherance for starters (+ 60% max hp and +30 all stats is /drool!!). If they add a third celerity abyssite I could have 8 hour traverser stone recast (3 per RL day) and another two sojurns would grant me 48 minutes per stone. That doesn't even touch potential new atmas or weapons/gear. And don't forget that /nin sub will soon grant Dual Wield 3!!! That's just a taste of what I'm expecting, but S-E has released a lot of powerful content. There's bound to be even more content for us at 90 so I have no doubt we will be pleased.

Residing last hopes in gear and not the job itself...I've sadly reached that point as well ; ;

I think most of my bitterness comes from not being asked to come as THF in my LS at all in the past 6 months or so...Everytime I try I get told to change to something else even though I have the best geared THF in my entire ls, yet the one who shows up in full aurore gear with almost no WS gear to be found gets to come THF every single time

...but of course why not? TH and to a lesser extent feint is all that is asked for of THF. And nothing else of real value being added to the job is not helping that...

/rant

Upgrades to existing job traits have never been mentioned in the patch notes yet they were given anyway. WHM got Auto Regen II at level 76, DRK got got a new tier of attack bonus at 76, PLD got a new defense bonus tier at 76, MNK got an added Martial Arts at 82, and we got an additional tier of critical hit attack bonus somewhere between 81-85. The trend carries across the board. S-E's patch notes only include the levels upon which a job first learns a new trait it never had leading up to that level. Why do you think this will be any different? S-E will probably sneak TH III in at level 90 without telling us just like they did all the other upgrades to existing traits. It keeps true to form.

So today I guess I did something foolish. I thought to myself, instead of crying in my beer, perhaps I will be proactive and try to get something done to change the course we are on.

Having read that SE likes to read BG, I posted there.

http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/100999-To-SE-Suggestions-for-job-abilities-traits-I-would-like-to-see

Flamed & locked in record time.

I have to say that a majority of the posters in the THF forums seem highly intelligent. I forget I am playing with a bunch of children sometimes. Ever see the trial scene in the movie Idiocracy? That sums up my BG posting experience.

From your point of view as a THF player, how would you feel about tier II SA and TA? Like that or not, I'd like to hear your ideas too. Maybe SE will realize what retards the BG gang are and look here instead. LOL

Dont forget we might get DW2! /gasps! (/rolls eyes and puts on /nin again)

Does anyone else feel like we got ninjad an evasion bonus 5? I 'feel' more evasive than ever these days, but never really parsed eva before (and my PC died a couple weeks ago so all parses be deded anyway). I am wondering if there is anyway to check if we got 5 or not. I just need to start parsing again more in general. My 'feelings' also say i am triple attacking more, but i dont ever trust my gut for measuring things like eva or TA procs. human brain sucks bawls at that and all. Need to go check this stuff, but am i the only one 'feeling' more triples and evasion?



SE does sometimes seem like that evil genie that takes your wishes and twists them into some nightmare.

Thf: We need to feed less TP!
SE: Hes a 30 sec 5min recast JA that increases subtle blow....for everyone but the tank!
Thf: We need native DW!
SE: Here you go Dncs! DW4!
Thf: NO! We said T_H_F not D_N_C
SE: Oh my bad dawg! Heres.....DW1! Enjoy subbing ninja anyway!
Thf: We need increased HNM damage!
SE: Heres a 5% boost to crits!.....no....8%! boost to something that happens.....occasionally!
Thf: We need more hate control!
SE: Heres a 5min JA to move hate when most mobs die in under 5 min!
....
.....
....
Many moons later:
SE: Eh....heres a 1min weaker version on a 1 min timer.
Thf: /worships evil genie

Exaggeration, but yeah, SE does have a tendency to drop the ball on implementation of perfectly good ideas.

^ How a lot of (stupid) LS leaders will see this.

I'm not convinced we won't get TH3 this update though.

i dont see any reason why rng and thief abilities wouldnt function completely seperately.

Ｉ thought it was a great idea, a way to possibly justify having thieves and some other DD's melee in situations. But then I saw the duration to recast is horrible. If they extended it to 3 minutes instead of 1, I think that'd be a better idea.
