I'd prefer that they bring back signature skills for 5th such as Assaulter, Band of Thieves, Avenger, Super Transformation, and Battleship with some tweaks on the Pirate ones of course. The Thief/Pirate revamp made them lackluster, Buccaneers become another laser class, Corsairs become another Hurricane class, Shadower skill chains don't feel as ninja-esque anymore, Night Lords go all-in for mobbing when they're conceptually ranged.
In all respect, I think the revamp did wonders for both Thieves and Pirates. Buccs only use Buccaneer Blast for mobbing; most of the time they're using Octopunch at bosses. Corsairs always had Rapid Fire, so... nothing different there. Infact... I think Corairs could only use a very restricted number of skills while aboard their ship (IIRC, I think they couldn't even climb ladders?). Shadowers do retain their 'ninja' feel with Shadow Viel. I do see where you're coming from with that last part though; using Shade Splitter as a way of mobbing for a squishy class like Night Lords is a bit silly. Still, I'd prefer not to have Avenger back, for personal reasons. Overall though, I think Justice was the best thing that happened to both branches.
