Possible Thief Changes?

Uhmmm. DPS for NLs is still higher.

Nnnnope.

And I'm not gonna feel upset this time, since people here have been thinking the same. A bit of research does the trick most of the times, but most people tend to think like how stuff was before.

The main mistake in thinking Night Lords have better DPS, is because before BB, Sharp eyes was ridiculously overpowered in our hands, making us truly beasts. However, without Sharp Eyes, we were mediocre. Times changed, BB came, and all people could see is they had buffed our % damage per skill. However, the critical formula changed too, and so, the sharp eyes advantage went away too, balancing us out DPS-wise, and giving us avenger as a viable skill (Before, Avenger was only useful on mobs of 5-6) for 3 and up mobs.

However, even balanced out to some extent, we have the most useless skills ingame. Shadow web ("stun" monsters until you attack them...), Shadow meso (attack with your mesos for lower damage...), Ninja Ambush (Deal damage over time that isn't even worth the skill animation time when maxed), Ninja Storm (Push enemies away so that you can attack them without punching... Oh wait, we don't punch anymore, it's useless now)... Then there's Meso up, but I still find it useful at times.

And the main problem with those isn't that they are bad or that. The main problem is that the first 2 are from third job, and the other 2 are from 4th. So our endgame skills are triple throw, avenger and flash jump. In fact, the 3rd job ones are so useless that I have all my 2nd job skills maxed, because those are all nice. In fact, 1st and 2nd job are very well designed. Problem comes with the rest.
