F1 Skill
The F1 ability is called steal. Thieves steal thing from their enemies, and then use those items against them. It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to be stealing things from your allies.
Still, op has a point about missing elements. Everyone else gets multiple profession skills/mechanics or have a choice in what that’ll be (to some degree) OR Both. Thief gets steal, which you either spec for or don’t. Either way it CAN be useful or it can just kind of be there for when the situation arises.
I remember 1 suggestion awhile back, to make steal behave like infiltrator’s signet. By like he meant you either leave it off cd and get 1 ini every 10 seconds, or use it as steal. Of course somethin would have to replace infiltrator’s signet or init regen would be far too easy but the idea is that as a profession skill, it would be universal to all builds all the time. Since we only get 1 F skill, it should be universal not situational.
break. I feel like they should be back by now..”
