So, with the balance patch Steal has gained the ability to hit multiple monsters. But, is this skill worth putting points into, or should I just put it all into Endure?

yes endure is no longer a skill i think and they also took out some level 30 max skill and drop it to 20 as max

Endure doesn't heal on ropes anymore Max steal, it effectivly outdamages savage blow when you hit 4 mobs

I'm talking about the balance patch we had not too long ago, not the Big Bang patch.

I was honestly already maxing it even before we had the balance patch, when it hit 1 monster. o,0

AlexFlores55 i heal 110 hp just standing around. And i do have 9 points in steal. i just chose to max endure instead because at the time, it wasn't a mob skill. but i never thought of steal in the dojo lol... that's a very good tip!

Endure still works on rope and ladders.. Anyway, it's more useful than Steal. Passive skills> skills you will never use while training. As for after Big Bang, Endure is replaced with... Shadow Resistance: Permanently increases the HP, as well as the resistance to the elements. Max level 20: +10% maximum HP, +20% resistance to the elements. Definetly a lot more appealing than Steal.

So, should I just max Endure and put my leftover points into Steal and Nimble Body?

I hope thieves inherit the Endure effect in my opinion it would be fair for us to get our old passive buff put straight into the character like the warriors or magicians did. EDIT: As for Steal I used alot before 3rd job was ever a rumor and I still use it alot today it's more a personal preference now but after Big Bang priorities change. If I still have enough AP after maxing out the necessary skills I will be maxing Steal again. I'm still against the increased damage on Steal it will be harder for me to farm things using it unless the monsters are higher level than me everything else will die before I even get to Steal anything.

If you CPQ, you're pretty much limited to 3/4, however you will do very well in 3/4 due to steal. Since if you're maxing steal at this point, you're not maxing SB for a while, you're limited to usng Double stab, which... I personally hated. Basically, if you can constantly mob, steal is your best friend, but any time you're up against single targets, having to keep using double stab is more than slightly annoying. I leveled a ring mule with a steal-first build just to check it out, it worked, but yah, it was really annoying whenever i did a CPQ or something where i needed to kill 1-2 monsters at once, since you're not "always" mobbing. However, at that time it was much harder to get a 3/4 room with EVERYONE making warriors / mages for ring mules.

Off topic: will us bandits e compensated fr the extra hp we didn't gain from shadow resistance? Because honestly, if it increases max hp, I would have mazes it first, no question
