Thieves improvement after revamp

On a scale from one to four. One being not much of an improvement and four being a great improvement. How much of an improvement do you think thieves get because of the revamp. How can the revamp be made better?

seeing as haste gives +40 speed, and the max speed level becomes 160, how am i going to get the 20 extra speed?

[quote=Rimkii]is it just the NLs getting the revamp? do dits or dual blades get changed also?[/quote]

All 3 get it, but DB is just minor changes. They have their own separate major revamp after all 3 parts of Justice/Renegade.

don't forget about the advanced venom which makes poison stack three times, i believe it also does more dmg than the original poison[/quote]

Stacks three times just like pre-BB. It still made no sense to remove Venom's stacking effect post-BB.

Indeed it does. Current venom is 40% chance of doing 140% damage every 1 sec for 8 secs. Fatal venom is 50% chance of doing 160% damage every 1 sec for 8 secs, up to 3 times. So even without triple stacking it's an improvement <3

[quote=Tempestatus]I'm only listing the stuff that NLs don't share with Shads.

+110 Weapon Attack (Karma, Dagger Expert, Shadower Instinct)
+20% PDR (Shadower Instinct)
Huge boost to Boomerang Step (2 extra mobs and about a 120% damage increase)
Carnival Edge (new 1v1 skill that hits 8 times for about 100% each hit)
Rush Skill (It replaces Assaulter though! </3)
Triple Stacking Venom that was split into two jobs: 3rd job [20 points] and 4th job [10 points]
Pickpocket is now toggle...

And much, much more.[/quote]
With max bstep carnival edge is 147-ish%

[quote=queeuq]oh no we're losing drain, a skill i never use and didn't bother to max[/quote]

You have no idea but it's infinitely useful to have a healing skill in pvp or dojo.

@AquaBoogieXD: actually, that's why I made a bm rather than a marksman.

@queeuq: lol SORRY I was too lazy to read ahead ._.

@x3wilsonn:

The 30% ignore PDF is from a skill called Dark Serenity. When you max it, it will have an passive effect of ignore 30% for any skills you use which is better than just 15% ignore for Triple Throw pre revamp

[quote=DarkQuill]Overall its good, but I still think having Phase Dash replace the functions of both Assaulter and BoT is a dumb move.[/quote]

You and I both.

Is that really what you're basing your decision on? I can understand it being a factor, but if it's the main reason, it just has to be said that it's a rather stupid reason.
