Assassin's Sprint Bar

"O no another buff assassin thread pls Nu"

Yiissss feed my unquenchable thirst for sarcasm and mockery

I know assassin has advantages and disadvantages. It is hard to play, but if you use it right, it works very well. I personally prefer assassin over warrior, or even Mage to be honest (mostly because fuck basic water mages). While the damage capabilities can be outstanding, the mobility is underwhelming. The Vanish spell is the only movement spell that depends on your own actual movement. This means that if you're using something like Statue, an assassin can't move at all, while all other classes can. My suggested fix doesn't change that, but also has to do with another basic mobility aspect: the sprint bar.

The sprint bar was a pretty good addition for assassins. It's easier to get where you want to go using Vanish without draining every bit of mana you have. Yet, it runs out pretty quickly. As assassin is supposed to be the quick, stealthy class, why does running take as much energy for you as a tanky warrior or a powerful Mage?

My suggestion is pretty simple to say the least: Make assassin's sprint bar last 20% longer (or something like that)

 

O no another buff assassin thread pls Nu

 

well, at least I appreciate the enthusiasm

 

I played thru an assassin class when the update came out (now lv. 91) and I don't find it an issue at all. And if you're travelling long distances; horses.

 

I don't find it much of an issue either, it's just something that makes sense to me and would help out a class that's kind of struggling at the moment (especially with mobility). Plus, it's not about long distances, it's about stamina.

 

The post was sarcastic, so yeah; I do think it's a good idea.

 

I actually find vanish petfectly fitting as it is with the sprint bar, I also think anyone who uses their "transportation" spell as their main means of movement is kinda dumb. I prefer horses for traveling and keeping the spells for combat.

 

Assassin is perfectly fine.

 

Add a poll.
But I thought the assassin had a better sprint bar already. If this isn't the case already, then yea

 

Okay now because of this, all classes need a so called "passive ability" now

 

Well assassin is the only one without a defense multiplier

 

Honestly, you shouldn't sprint everywhere for travelling, thus making 20% kind of not worth it. That's why you have horses, and your transporation spell (at least if you're a mana-regen crazy mage like me XD).

 

See? This is an ACTUAL good suggestion. To be honest I wouldn't mind if Assassins had UNLIMITED sprint but had to walk to recharge mana.

 

That would be op, people would ask assassins to be nerfed if you did that.

 

But for what reason? If they use like 2 spells, they wouldn't be able to run anymore. Unless paired with super speed but then again at the point its more of a bother than a plus.

 

That would still be unfair. Also for example if you wanted a record for a speedrun of some sort, assassin would be the best way because you had infinite sprint bar... :P

________________________________

And having to walk to recharge mana would completely differientiate it from the other classes, and make your gameplay completely different. :/

 

1) in speed running: sprint < teleport (i was one of those maniacs on triple xp weekend where i got a friends mage from 1 to 94 in a few hours, trust me i know xd)

2) shouldnt classes feel like they have different gameplay?

 

If you have a horse mobility is not a problem, however I feel that assassin's should get a sprint buff because it's very helpful for short distance travel because horses can be laggy.

 

Well they should, but imo you're seriously changing a big part of it, think about it; an INFINITE sprint bar? Also, there would be no point to even having a sprint bar, assassins could just sprint forever :P. If you wanted to add something like this, how about assassins actually being assassins, (maybe something involved with sneaking or invisibility...?)
