Assassin Buff

yea... cause mage totally needs a mythic to be good... or archer... or whatever...my lv 96 warrior does more dmg and has much more health than my assassin (using leftover gear in my bank -_-)

did i hear that right? did you just say assassin does more damage than archer or warrior???

so you use smoke bomb.. and then u multihit them out of the smoke bomb? (wtf this doesnt even make sense) what do you mean by "stack"?

umm.. no examples?? -_-

also ... whats the point about bringing up a lv 23 assassin?

________________________________

bob -_- i solo'd that without getting hit cause that doesnt even count as a hard boss for a high lv player

 

assassin was and always will be my main
and honestly warrior is way shittier than assassin
archer is about equal with it
only mage is insanely op but salted already said its being nerfed at some point

 

When I said arrow storm is hard to aim, I meant it's difficult to get either all the arrows to hit the target or to knockback in a specific direction.
As for your ice snake comment, you don't know HOW many times I've dueled an assassin and spammed I ice snake, but can't hit them because of vanish. To confuse things even more, ice snake leaves behind smoke.

________________________________

If you stand in the smoke bomb and look down, it keeps the player inside the smoke bomb during multi it. By stack, they mean the damage from both spells is added together.

EDIT: Also, I think u rely too much on spells. Despite its lower damage weapons, daggers actually do more melee damage since they hit multiple mobs, unlike bows. When you first started your archer, wasn't that frustrating? Try using melee between spells.

 

i play assassin as my main and i think the damage and multihit is fine but what i wish they did was put a timer on vanish like 5sec on vanish 1, 10sec on vanish 2, and 15sec on vanish three i find it very annoying that when you come out of vanish u have no mana sp ether when u get out of vanish u have to be right beside the guy or your screwed

 

That's the reason assassin require(d?) SIXTY TOTAL LEVELS TO USE. With Mage, or hunter, or warrior, you don't need as much skill or knowledge of the game. But if u don't know how to use assassin, you're as screwed as Sjin. You can't just charge into a bunch of mobs, you have to take it strategically. The same as PvP, if I just ran out, I'd be slowed and hit immediately. That's why you have to vanish and then do a specific spell combo to be VERY effective.

LOL

 

I have never played Assassin before, so I made a new character specially for this thread.

Welp, the main attack at the start of the game only does about 2-4 damage. Awful, especially compared to Archers.
The R-L-R move is also not that impressive.
Went through the cave and nearly died from the Level 3 Skeletal Archer.

Leveled up and put one point in Strength, one in Defense. Attack amount has only changed to 3-4.
Arrived at the Ragni King's castle and finished the tutorial at level 2. If this was my first time playing, I probably would have quit by now. So I do think assassins should... let's not say "buff", but I do think they should have their stats checked out and possibly entirely rebalanced.

 

were you playing without a display to almost die at the tutorial

 

It feels like assassin is having an existential crisis, honestly.

It's designed to be a damage dealer that focuses on stealth and high risk with high reward, but it's spells and some of it's best weapons all focus on damage over time, stalling, and being defensive, which encourages a slower playstyle not at all based around stealth or high damage like the class is supposed to be.

This might be less of an issue with the class, but more of an issue with the thunder element and how it affects the class. Dexterity comes with the risk reward playstyle we want for assassin, but guess what ID usually follows thunder around? Poison.

Though it is somewhat an issue with the class as well. Multihit is pretty bad for damage compared to Meteor, Bomb Arrow, and Uppercut, it had it's uses, but it's more of a utility rather than a damage spell. Smoke Bomb is extremely powerful but focuses on damage over time and stopping the enemy in it's tracks. Spin Attack has the same focus, but it's slightly more promising as it's damage is all together in one hit, but it punishes you for spamming it! And then vanish is... Vanish.

It's not a bad class, but it's trying to be two very different things at once and this spreads it's priorities a bit too thin for it to compete with the other classes.

 

so far the best reply to the thread

 

then try not to be detected or get hit, basically use hit and run tactics

 

dont have a grim ;-;
also... I have never been able to kill a tank mage and i never will be able to (teleport-ice snake-meteor... repeat)

________________________________

Ha Haha Hahaha....... do i even have to mention why that doesnt work...

probably why everyone uses spin attack

Neither do I. How is this relevant?

I mean. I WISH I had a grim.

 

what does this have to do with having a grim? ;-;

 

lol want a example i can give you one, and yes assassin does more dmg then archer, AND warrior, over time.
also wtf would you multihit out of the smoke bomb, you know you can control where multi hit goes right? I'm guessing not because what you just said makes no seance when you know that fact.

also i brought up my lvl 23 assassin doing 2k multi hits to prove you wrong on "assassin doesn't do dmg" i one shot most ppl who are lvl 50, cant say all of them but still

oh and NO ONE can kill tank mage, why do you think everyone complains about mage being op?

oh and almost forgot, no those classes don't need a mythic, i never said they did, i said they need a good wep and a build, if you say im wrong you can fight my lvl 100 assassin, your choice

 

assassin does NOT do more damage than archer or warrior (*cough* Chun_Gaming)

ur explanation is off... yes i can control where it goes but it will always go away from you.. still gotta test what npcgrian said

still dont know why i should care how much dmg ur lv 23 can do

I dont get what ur going for and for the 100th time -_- im assassin too so it would literally prove nothing

 

say that to cataclysm

 

like i said.. dont bring up the most expensive dagger mythic.. ITS NOT AN EXAMPLE (cause everyone has got 20 stacks am i right?)
