I think Thief just gets a (relatively) bad reputation because it's an extremely common job for people to have leveled, and yet only a handful of those take it seriously. You get all these people who got power leveled to Master Level 50 Thief and don't know how it works beyond Sneak Attack. I play every job, thf is by far my favorite, no contest. But it has some issues for "endgame" depending on how you define endgame...
1. TP feed. Many strats for odyssey NMs (and similar) involve limiting TP feed using mewing...thf is a massively huge tp feeding monster if you're doing it right. 2. Lack of STR/ATK You're way, way farther from attack cap in anything vs your average mnk/war/Sam. I can hit 99k on some pretty impressive endgame NMs (omen bosses...), but those same ws's can go sub 30k or even sub 20k to vengeance or w3 dyna bosses, much to my embarrassment. 3. It's pretty selfish You gotta build a party around a working dd thf. War, dark, Sam mnk they are all selfish that way, but if you aren't throwing serious numbers every time you're a waste of a slot to all the work your buffers are doing. My dd thf can embarass most other dds in random events, but compared against my real peers at real events it falls on its face most times. Offline
