I really enjoy playing my thief. I have lockpicking on her so it is good for unlocking paragon chests. I have her otherwise set as a pure mage, so I use her for events and stealthing to check out new areas and mark runes to get me close to spots I otherwise would not on other characters. I don't have snooping or detect hidden, which the detect hidden would have come in handy for the last event which gave an option to collect "activators" to start the war simulator. The KOTL underground thing. I know they are coming out with some new stealables soon and don't forget, or something new for you maybe? stealing from monsters in Fel and Champ Spawns(all facets). This is neat as the things that are stolen are kinda cool. The best thing being a gem, gem of salvation I think, that gives you an instant rez, kind of like the rez for weavers. For me my character is highly used. I use to roleplay her a bit. but that had nothing to do with stealing. She just looked the shabby homeless part.
