The idea is to add a weapon craft in design somewhat like dragonclaw scythe for thief since i'm not sure if thief nerf revert will ever happen to make them somewhat usable. If the revert does happen changes could be made so that it wouldn't be overpowered at that point.
I didn't want to necro the thread so i just made this one but Greg made a similar post back in 2021 and nothing about the reverting the nerf has happened yet and mentions of the revert been going on several years before that, so I thought this would be a way to make thieves more usable until that happens.

just was thinking of monsters that thief can somewhat train on or be useful at bosses. Probably more boss mobs could be added.. but just a starting point.
