Assassin's Mana Problem.

From what I see of playing Assassin as compared to all other classes is the amount of mana they use. Allot of assassin players complain about the spells taking too much mana, so I think the appropriate and only buff they need is a reduction to mana usage. (Also the staff may want to update the classes tab on the 'help' page. It states Spin Attack takes 4 mana when it actually takes 6 and that Multi Hits takes 7 when it really takes 10.)

Spin Attack: 6 mana -> 4 mana

Vanish: 4 I, 3 II and 2 at III -> 5 at all ranks, but take away the mana drain as you use it

Multi Hits: 10 mana -> 7 mana

Smoke Bomb: 7 mana -> 7 I, 6 II, 5 III.

These are what I think would be helpful in balancing the class, feel free to leave your opinions!

 

Or invest in a bit of Intelligence. Archer has the same spell costs, essentially.

Investing 41 intelligence puts the Assassin's spell costs back to pre-Gavel levels (4/2/7/6), and it works great for me even without any mana options. Having this also opens up a lot more options for items without restricting other skill elements.

 

Sorry, but Assassin works completely fine. A bit of mana regen and Int fixes this "problem." Even if the mana usage was a problem, Vanish would be WAY too OP without the mana drain.

 

Woah, woah, woah. Are you suggesting that the Vanish Mana drain be removed? That's OP.

 

Like others have said, if you have mana buffs or invest in intelligence then mana isn't a problem. It hasn't been a problem for me anyways.

 

If you have about.. 68 i believe? intelligence, your mana costs are reduced by half of the default.

 

Sprint bar
is
coming.

oh, and also

 

A. Assassins are MELEE based, why can't people put that through their heads?
B. Intelligence is a virtue, both IRL and ingame
C. Yes, remove the only way to stop assassins from staying invisible 24/7, that's not OP at all. Especially since there's a sprint bar incoming.

 

I hate that posts :/ just invest some skill points in intelligence and use mana regen gear -_- (at least for me it's going well,i never run out of mana)
