  • Flanking Dive: This skill no longer inflicts vulnerability and instead deals bonus damage if the target is attacked from the side or from behind.
    • Movement has been changed so that if the thief is not in melee range or is behind or to the side of the target, the thief will now charge straight forward instead of strafing around the enemy.
