Fixing Assassin

As many of you know, the spells on most of the classes have been updated. This may seem like a minor change, but this led to Assassin dropping down from completely overpowered to the worst class in the game. I have an assassin in Troms and farming one bar of xp takes me almost 15 minutes. Smoke bomb, as far as I know, only does dmg if it has direct contact with the mob, which defeats the purpose. Multihits's dmg was nerfed, which was necessary, but they overdid it. It does the same dmg as spin attack now, which is frankly just stupid. It also flings all the mobs toward you, which makes the spell useless. It use to be my last resort when I'm surrounded. Now all it does is lower me to one heart.

My suggestion for the spells is to slightly buff Multihits, maybe give it 15-20% more dmg per hit, and add back the upgrade that lets u move the mobs to where u are looking. With spin attack, it should make the mobs fly away from you, not toward you. And finally, PLEASE FIX SMOKE BOMB and revert it to the way it was. For future notice, wynncraft tends to fix problems by switching them to the opposite extreme.

 

yeah multihit needs a big buff and vanish still has enemies target you like 25% of the time, also smoke bomb/spin are broken (spin makes the enemy hit you 4-5times)

 

The Assassin is bugged. Can we get a flippin' break from these "assassin is so up now" threads? Honestly, I think that we should be happy that it got nerfed hard.

 

Yeah, Multihit does only 200% damage, I think.

 

Well assassin/ninja is so broke atm ;-; smoke bomb doesn't work, spin attack makes mobs go crazy, and multi hit doesn't shoot people in the air like it used to... I'm sure this'll get fixed soon tho :3

 

Still the holidays, I don't mind waiting a little bit... For now I do low level Gavel quests!

 

i loved assassin the most of all classes, it was the highest dps ingame... till gavel i guess, but with some poison and great armor you still can solo some bosses... Still it's bugged xD

 

Just a note~ If you multihit with any weapon it doesn't move the mob like it used to before, but if you switch to a non-weapon item mid multihit you can control the mob again, though this is useless to us maybe it could give a hint about something wrong in the code? And also I agree about the spin attack, if they are supposed to go crazy, atleast make them have disabled attacks or something similar?

 

Completely agreed. Spin attack was, and unfortunately still is, my last resort, but because it pulls mobs towards you it turns into suicide (I have, through all this time learned how to effectively use spin attack, vanish and multihit in a combo, throwing anything in my spin attack into a multihit without getting hit). And man, I would be lying if I said smoke bomb was good. Most of the time, (for me) it hits the target once, and does like, 50 damage. Also I am a level 59 assassin, and it gets so annoying when using vanish and trying to run away from like, level 78 mobs, because vanish goes for pretty much 5 seconds!

 

Except that with Multihit + Mana Potion you can stun-lock bosses without having to trap them in a cobweb...

 

my words!!!
