I basically want a more solo-able and self-sufficient thief. Will the healing and support spells make up for doing less damage and having less hitpoints?

There is no such thing as a "solo-able" thief or any class for that matter at later levels. And if your stuck on WHM or RDM id go white i guess...

I have a 21 rdm, 13 war, 10 whm and 11 thief
I have tried all using all 3 classes as a sj for my thief and my rdm is the most idea 1 to solo, the stat isnt far away from sj war and has just a little bit less hp, but have enough mp to cast a couple cure to cut down the regen time. whereas sj whm will have a little more mp than sj rdm but not enough to cast a extra cure, and hp cuts down alot compare to war. thief/war is just good when u r in a group and try to be the tank when need imo.

The only job that can solo successfully beyond level 25 or so is Beastmaster.
As a rule, thieves are simply awful solo against anything that isn't already weaker than the thief, because their defense is based mostly on their Evasion, and not their Defense scores. Monsters which are higher level than you, however, have higher attack, and are thus harder to dodge, so it makes thieves a poor choice for a solo character.
Having a RDM or WHM sub up through level 15 or so makes sense. After reaching 15, thieves do better in parties, and after level 30, they are way more powerful in parties than solo due to Trick Attack.

Hehehe... true enough, Awntawn. I'm not looking forward to levelling THF again, that's for sure... it took forever just to get THF15 in beta. All I have are fuzzy memories of thousands and thousands of easy prey orcs...
