The Knight (and Cavalier, if I remember correctly) is in the same boat, but it's not as obvious because the Knight's job isn't to deal as much damage. In combats where your Mage and Shaman are firing off daily powers, they should be outshining the Thief. In combats where daily powers are not used, the Thief will be outshining the others. It should more or less even out.But keep in mind that no other class is ever going to match your striker (Thief) when it comes to dishing out damage, as the rest of the folks here have said. His job is to kill things; other characters' jobs are to control things, lock them down or take care of allies.All that said, I agree that the Thief is crazy-powerful. I've seen a few in action, and yes, they're amazing. If the rest of the party isn't optimized, it's probably true that the Thief is objectively stronger than they are, which I agree stinks (see <a href="http://onlinedm.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/balanced-power-parties-are-ideal/" target="_blank">here</a> for my thoughts on the matter).</blockquote>
