As a lowbie, I have a much greater respect for a THF 75 than a DRK/THF 75. I know it's hard as hell to level THF past 60. To all you thieves out there, good job for sticking with your job. :D

i chhoose RNG

Ya, Ponuh, but you also forget DRK is one of the hardest jobs to get to 60+. They're really outclassed by so many other DD up to that point. I laugh when I think about when the level cap was 50, and the best a DRK got was Vorpal Scythe. Talk about getting the shaft.

Edit:
Also, I think RNG is one of the most over-rated classes in the game. My last PT with one (at 75), every single one of my regular hits was significantly more damaging than the RNG as well as my WS dmg (3-4x the rng dmg), granted I know they hit faster, but in the end they're just as strong as any other DD out there. The one thing they have going for them is that they're very, very strong at lower levels. Probably the strongest until the other classes get their end-game gear. That, and they get to stand still and not get interrupted if there is a kiting situation.

The RNG I was PT'd with wasn't a gimp either. Again, I think DRK or THF can fill each others spot in an exp PT easily, and I don't really like the fact that THF have such a hard time leveling at that point either. THF is a really great class that's alot of fun to play as. But, much like DRG they aren't appreciated much just because of the fact that their regular DMG is kinda weak (made up by the fact daggers are so quick, I think it balances out in the end to that they probably do the same dmg as an average DRK) and that all of their important abilities come packaged in as a sub 60+.

I'm not really sure where I'm going with this. But much <3 to all the players and classes. lol We're all the same in the end, even if people and fads don't think so.

I didn't know that. DRKs always seemed to do great damage. Then again, I also saw a THF do a 500 DMG Viper Bite + SATA in Garlaige in the mid 30's.

Reinheld, i know you wanna protect your main job by picking a side.
But with all honesty, and i dont speak for just for myself, THF and DRK are about break even. You go either, both will pull about same dmg if either arent on the same pt. Meaning a pt with a THF and a DRK wont be as good as a pt with DRK + RNG or RNG + THF, or whichever DD.

imo They both have downfalls that people take into account. Just depends how you want a PT set u.

Sure, all depends on the player. Not all DRKs will outdamage a THF, and not all THF outdamge a DRK. The game is mostly about gear in the end, which is a shame. THFs are some of the most skilled players out there, no doubt. (Keelu, Yummy, etc. for example, are amazing THFs).

I leveled with Keelu in Qufim. /sigh


I've always thought about THF. It might be really fun.

Is a taru THF any good usually?

You forgot the most skilled of 'em all!

and



Any race can be good at any job. Just depends on skill + gear.
THF starts to get fun at LV15+, then it gets a little better 30+.

Koda was by far the best THF I've ever player with, it's just a damn shame he was a bastard most of the time :P

Someone help me decide.
