I Don't Get It (poll Added For Lurkers)

Assassins are meant to be the highest damaging class with the trade off being low health and defense, yet every class seems to be much much better at everything, it really just seems pointless and that I'm just making it more difficult for no reason, it's no high risk high reward as it should be it's high risk low reward and imo it's in need of a buff

 

NO.

I THOUGHT THESE THREADS WERE OVER.
AAAAHHHHHH..

in other words, no class is getting buffed just deal with the assassin

 

I thought these image expressions were over

They shall never end!

 

Why do you have Equius' sunglasses?

 

:33 < i k33p them as a meowmento of our roleplaying.

 

Shit he has a point...

 

It feels like assassin is having an existential crisis.

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.

These threads will be over when the problem is fixed, a buff/fix is coming and always will be as long as there's an issue

This goes for everything not just the current state of Assassins.

Also destiny is one of my favorite gaems tho so thanks for the pic

Is this a cypher? If so can u have the key and the kind of cipher?

 

The threads will never be over apparently

 

Read my other comment as long as there's a problem there is a fix on the way, well, at least if the devs have any kind of integrity

 

Have you ever heard of a Cataclysm, mountain spirit, weathered, rewind, crossroad killer, etc

 

Yes, but a class should not be balanced around 5 or 6 good weapons, but rather around ALL weapons that class can use.

 

And because of that,


basically my view of this all is that assassin really doesn't need a buff. It just needs the right class set.

 

It needs both, one more than the other but which one is difficult to decide

 

Damage: Archer > Assassin
Mobility: Any other class > Assassin
Defense: Any other class > Assassin
Spells: Mage > Assassin

Assassin can be easily outclassed in any field. Archers have infinite speed III, while Assassins need to get their mana drained for about 7 seconds of Vanish. By the time you get near an enemy with vanish, you can't use any spells due to the mana drain. Actually, Assassin can outclass any of the other classes in something. That something is being a mana hog. I can understand if Warrior required more mana due to the fact that it's usually seen as an excessively melee type class. Why does Assassin require more mana to use spells than any other class, have less speed than it's ranged competitor, is more frail than any of the classes without having the highest damage output, and be the only class with a mobility spell that isn't viable for travel. Assassin is supposed to be, as the author said high risk high reward. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the Assassin class and would play it with or without a buff, but I do agree that it needs a tweak to make it feel right. In my honest opinion, Assassin should have more damage than Archer, not the other way around. Archers aren't faced with the challenge of having to get close to kill or do some good damage. They can sit on their perches with their arrow shields and smoke bombs getting more reward than an Assassin that has to get close to get any reward close to that. Also, I'm not suggesting we go back to the old broken Assassin. Despite that being fun as hell, it was a bit broken. A nerf was needed yes, but the nerf went a bit too far. Only slightly.

tl;dr: I love the Assassin, and would use it no matter what. However, I agree with the author of this thread. Assassin feels incomplete.

Edit: Yes I've heard of the builds for Assassin like the Weathered and such, but I'm talking about the Assassin overall.

 

I completely agree With you
...agreeing...With....me

 

I like assassin, by like I mean I feel like I'm forced to like it. Honestly, multihit's spell cost is absurd and you're practically forced to use an intelligence build if you want to use the other 1/4 of the class.
