Trickster is my favorite class in the entire series, but being locked into arguably to worst non-bow weapon with both below-average defensive and offensive caps is pretty dire. They don't really have anything over the other physical weapon staff users. War Monk/Cleric have good 40/40 offenses and respectable defenses, Falcon Knights have the good skill and speed and 8 mov unaffected by terrain, and Brides have two weapons and good skills. Trickster has above average skill and speed, but even then their speed is lower than Falcon Knights . They don't even have any cool skills to merit going out of your way for, so IMO either Swords as a whole should get a buff, or give the Trickster some more tools to work with, which could come in the form of good skills, a new weapon, or more respectable caps.
