Assassin Is Overnerfed (in My Opinion)

Now, before you read this, I will warn you that this will include a lot of complaining, but it is a little important for most of us assassin players.

So, in one of the recent updates, the Assassin class has been nerfed incredibly, and it's a lot more difficult to play for me when it comes to using my spells on mobs, as I do not PvP. I will go through the spells and the problems I think they have.

Spin Attack - This was one of my main abilities when it came to clearing out large amounts of enemies coming at me, and it was very useful when I had Knockback I, and since the powders are being completely changed, the spin attack doesn't do what it used to. Plus it now spins enemies around you, that sort of disorients me and it also brings the enemies CLOSER, which hurts a lot... It's really annoying since I can't really use it well anymore with the new tornado effect on the enemies. Sure it may disorient attacking players, but I'm pretty sure that most people would be playing normal Wynncraft more than in the Nether to PvP.

Vanish - The vanish still does what it used to, but it just inhales all my mana. It's quite unbelievable how fast you lose mana while using this ability, I have an intelligence level of 49 and my mana depletes to nothing in 6 seconds if I'm sprinting, and this is my travel spell as well. The new resource pack also makes smoke particles larger, by quite a bit. So now if I'm PvPing my friends can easily spot my smoke particles as I'm running around.

Multi-hit - Meh, seems fine. The only problem is that I don't really like it without the powder, sometimes it'll knock enemies towards me and they'll hit me as they're flying through the air, which kinda hurts.

Smoke Bomb - The smoke bomb, it was probably one of the best defensive abilities, now it barely lasts. It now only lasts 3 seconds, which is quite ridiculous... The hitbox is also pretty buggy, it may have a slightly bigger looking radius of damage, but a lot of the time, the enemies walk about 3 blocks away from the center, and take absolutely no damage.

Now I appreciate that you took the time to read through this entire forum post, even if you hate me, and think I'm an annoying little brat, well I still appreciate if you actually read this entire thing. I just feel like my abilities are really bad when I'm in many different situations, and if they buff the assassin at all, in any of these abilities, I'll be pretty happy.

 

Fuck not another one.

And now this one.

 

You forgot the "this class is fine and doesn't need any buffs or nerfs" choice. Seriously, it doesn't. I've seen multiple assassins say that they're just as powerful now than they were pre-Gavel, maybe even more. Assassin is not a super OP class anymore. It originally was only VIP, so it was made OP. It had to be nerfed, or else every other class has no chance against it. Also, get a good build. This point hasn't been stressed enough. Elements were added for a reason, use them to your advantage. One of the main reason Mage is considered very powerful right now is because it has an element that it fits right into. Assassin can be too, you just need the right build.

 

Moar damage pls (im not assassin tho)

 

Well, I apologize if I annoyed you in any way.

 

I'm a level 44 Ninja and I'm fine.

 

I guess I shall begin stressing this more. Thanks for the suggestion, but it's gonna be a little harder for me to keep track of all these stats, I'm not that good with all these elements. :/.

Doesn't the ninja have slightly modified abilities compared to the assassin? My friend said that they were pretty cool. I know this is a bit off topic.

 

No, no, there's no hostility from SaturnFire. Saturn's just pointing out that there are plenty of threads about this complaints, but there's always room for one...or two....or ten more.

 

Just Shadow Clone which just makes you vanish and creates a clone of you. No other difference, purely cosmetic.

 

Ah, okay. That's the only one I've actually heard about.

Well I don't really know much about these other threads since I don't scroll through the forums that often, but yeah, while I was in the middle of typing this out, I thought about how many other threads might be out there.

 

The problem starts at more higher level's. Invisibility eats up mana way to fast, using spin can nearly kill you in large groups, multihit takes a lot of mana for little damage the only good one is really smoke bombs.....

 

It could use a buff
But since i wad able to create a certain build with it i personally got no prolems rn

 

This be so true [+1IhateAssasinthreadsSupporter]

 

Eh, right now assassin is alright. Change your build, use a fast weapon, and use clock boots. This will significantly increase your damage.

 

When you reach higher levels, every other class passes you. I plugged in numbers and did multiple tests, the only possible way for me to exert the amount of damage other classes do is by making ridiculous spell damage orientated builds. An assassin who is considered to have the highest, even higher than an archer's damage should not have to wear damage heavy equipment just do to a little more dps than an average archer or mage. A damage buff along with a vanish buff would probably end all arguments towards buffing assassin. It honestly isn't non-viable, but is the worst class, and it has nothing going for it. It doesn't do enough damage, and doesn't have much defense.

 

Assassin is good enough if you know how to use it, WARRIOR/KNIGHT is the one that needs a buff...

 

Lets be honest they both need a buff in some way shape or form.

 

But Assassin is actually good... its just 80% of people are freaking out, because it used to be SUPER OP then it got nerfed because of eula vip rank and whatever and people think its bad, maybe assassin needs like a few tweaks, but its not bad... and warrior actually needs it, for example if anybody gets 1.9 shield it should be warriors.

 

Meh my main concerns are damage and vanish. I feel like players who chose assassin as their main are being cheated, because of their deceiving damage output, game says highest, but is almost the lowest. And warrior should not be less tanky than mage, mages can spam heal so much, they're practically immortal.

 

Mage has like no defense, if you get a good successful attack threw, rip mage. but your right warrior needs to be tankier, assassin needs a better upgrade on spin attack and vanish i guess, but to fix all of this just add a new attack move.. :)
