Theory: Thief & Pirate heroes in December?

They are keeping thief and pirate for the end because they're getting a total overhaul. They'll litterally lose all their skills for new ones.

That theory sucks.

Bowman was changed completely and it made the class actually playable and fun for the people who hadn't already powered through with one.

Personally i'm excited for whatever changes they can make to Thieves and Pirates, they could get entirely new ways of fighting which aren't anything like current jobs, even such a silly thing as Thieves being able to get back stars from the enemies they kill, or a passive skill which steals stats from the enemies and adds them as a temporary buff. While not exactly unique they would make the class more interesting.

Same for pirates, making brawlers more mobile and making gunslingers flashier, faster and with as much pew-pew as Mercedes.
