A Thief has the best evasion of any job, and the ability to steal of Thief makes it possible to obtain rare items and alchemy recipes from monsters.
A Thief cannot inflict massive damage, but a dagger is a quick weapon which, when combined with lightning reflexes, stealth, and good MP recovery, makes them formidable opponents.
