I STILL CALL CHEATING. Or at least lieing to get a GM to cheat for you. And hoping he doesn't do more then a cursory glance at what you've been doing.

who currz :/ lol. the very fact that you're red flagging yourself and using one of your (your only?) item replacement is pretty much enough to balance off neatly with this exploit

Yeah it's cheating. D: I think you can do it with CoP rings too. I don't want to waste my item restores on that though, I'm sure someday I'll get my account hacked/stolen. /nods.

Man, I'd do that with a SCH nuking body and a RNG body for ACP.

Meh, I saw it as more funny than useful. I rarely use Suppa. I could easily do without it.

Anyways though, you see my stance on why I would support the STR merits. As a 1-jobber though, do what suits you best.

Even if all the OP is Thf-only, the judge is out (so to speak) on what's best--str or dex merits. There's no true consensus in the thief community. They're quite close. I'd say most of the veterans lean towards Str (I do--I used to have 5/5dex and changed to 5/5str later), but there's certainly nothing wrong with dex merits either. This is strictly thf-speaking.

Maybe get half of each ? So no more complicated questions, and it will cost you less merits ^^;
But that's up to you.
