[1.2.381] The Wind

Thiefs have a darned good role, called avoidability. It doesn't support anyone else but themselves, but should thieves really be supporting other people? THIEVES?!? Make the avoid mechanics better for thieves.
I think they deserve to break the speed cap. Their weapon speed should be able to exceed the cap as well.

With pirates, I think you should be able to mount while transformed, and that transform turns into a transformed state as well(even if it's a cs equip, I think they really only need to make the transformed effect look like the hogs and the dragon). This is for ladders mainly, because mounts are still technically faster.

I think they should pirates back into the cooldown wagon, where they are far superior to everything during their charging times, however inferior when they're not at their potential, same with the battleship and it's hp formula(or cooldown, whatever Corsair's want). Add in a few new skills, put super xform in 3rd job, regular xform in second job, and make a whole new 4th job transform, make summersault kick have the ''upper stab'' effect and increase it's speed. Let dragon strike be air-castable, put snatch and time leap to master level 20(seriously, 30 sp in these skills is such a waste), take away energy orbs mob formula. Add in a couple of new animations(they could make energy blast look A LOT cooler) and you got yourself a revamped pirate.
