Pre-Justice Thief Questions?
Hi everyone. I'm thinking of creating a thief, due to the Legend Finale which will hit my version (MSEA) in a few weeks (if I'm correct)
I wasn't keen on making one before as 2nd job is just... </3 I hate spamming the same skill that hits one mob and levelling with Steal isn't exactly a blast.
That's why, I'm thinking of abusing the King Pepe and Chryse Revamp, where you can solo the bosses. I'm not an avid grinder so it's like a... great opportunity for me to make a thief. Now the million-dollar question is:
Hit 8 times (Savage Blow) with Bandit or twice with Lucky Seven with Assassin. I'm going unfunded, so is it better if I go Bandit?
Cheers~
EDIT: Gonna check back later, hopefully I'll get some decent replies.

If King Pepe grind is what you want then assasin is the class for you! Lucky7 needs no mastery so you can start maxing crit and booster right away. The skill is long ranged so no running to King Pepe to hit it, and despite what the others may say, assasins are the 1v1ers of the thief class from 1st job straight up to 4th. Only Post justice do they arguably become as good or better in 1v1 play (in 4th job). Stars never ran out that fast for me either because it's only 2 per Lucky7 so a set of atleast 5-10 would last you a good while. Won't need that many hp potions either if any since you'll be ranged... + you'll have drain.
For king pepe grind I suggest Assassin. (2nd job bandits don't mob that well anyway. They pick up in 3rd job though admittedly)[/quote]
We still have drain? I don't think so. Unless i'm blind... :S
Woah, you can grind that long at king pepe?
*mind blown*
^ Great answer. But please note title

In second job, it's 'steal' pretty hard for bandits to get to level 70 whilst Sins get a lot better variety of skills such as Shuriken Burst. Lucky Seven is really powerful as well IMO due to the fact that it's based on what your level of luk is and not based off your range.
After in like 3rd job and 4th job, Shads start to take over I think in terms of leveling speed because of phase dash, carnival edge and meso explosion.
It's really up to you, would you rather have faster 2nd job training or have more fun at 3rd job and 4th job?
