doesn't attack do quite a lot for sa? not to mention that just because you're able to sneak attack doesn't mean that you won't be meleeing at all.

If this ability is used by a Thief, the next strike will also receive a bonus of 1 base weapon damage for every point of DEX the player has when the attack hits.

Base weapon dmg > attack

To be perfectly honest, most of this discussion is moot due to the fact that gear is not taken into consideration. If you have 5/5 Emp+2 and twilight belt, you are only at 23% haste. Tiercel necklace and Rapidus put you at 25% and still give you nice stats. That leaves your earring/ring/back/ammo slots that you can use for extra damage. Atheling for back, suppa/brutal for earring, epona's/rajas for ring and you really don't have a lot more options for TP. Having 12 acc and 1% haste on a dagger looks really nice in this setup, but not everyone has this.

True on the SA info. And to add to that DEX doesnt have a cap on SA where as STR and attack do...however you would really have to parse to see if 9 STR 20 attack during tp phase would beat out that 9 dex every 50 secs (best case). If we're talking strictly abyssea STR is pretty easy to cap, attack, especially for thf, is not.

As far as gear goes, 4/5 af+2 and haste feet would win out over using 5/5. That way you can use whatever daggers you want and still be capped on haste as well as using love or agasayas on neck for better dps.
