Thief players, what is fun about your thief?

[MENTION=2375]Mazz[/MENTION]; That is a really lengthy story but I enjoyed reading it since I dislike all of the Thief classes except for Phantom (And I'm well aware that I'm unjustified since I'm purely basing it seeing how others play and in particular I've hated Assassins from the time I played my little Archer). A major reason on why I'm set on quitting Maple before/when Tempest hits is due to how Phantom is my favourite class and indeed the only reason why I didn't quit in 2012 itself because I finally found the class that resonated with my needs the most, and while I can bear the damage nerf I do not like nerfs that make the class a complete pain in the rear to maintain buffing-wise without the horrible idea of introducing cooldowns that makes Phantom's skill-stealing look like a joke, story-wise.

As for Dual Blades- CoH, man. I brought my buddy to Hilla because he wanted the cores and I'm so jealous of that skill not triggering DR!
