Assassin Got Nerfed ... Again ;-;

rip
smoke bomb now looks a bit better but deals way less damage , for me it used to deal 15k or so , the only attack that actually dealt damage now it deals half or even less
now lets think about it ... archer has more range more mobility and like 3 times more damage ...
unless its a bug .. why would you do this ;-;

 

I remember smoke bombs only had 1 tick and it would go away, but if u think of it smoke bombs slows the player/mob inside it

 

Spells are broken/bugged right now.

 

true , but it was nerfed after all and assassin really didnt need that nerf

________________________________

so the particle change is a bug?

 

true assassins in the update got nerfed really badly thats why i never used it in gavel anymore, but as Pretzule said its bugged atm

 

Archers can't handle massive amount of mobs with the bow shots, they can only rely on their spells, whilst assassins can hit way faster and damage more mobs at once even with their melee attacks.

 

doesnt make up for the rest

 

Smoke bomb got nerfed again... yes, now assassin has 3 useless spells, lets kill mobs with the vanish spell... oh wait..
Assassin needs to cast a spell 3 times to kill a mob level 90 while all the others classes one time is enough...

 

Fun challenge doe, amirite? :I

 

i guess so
atleast assassin is op on sky islands cuz you can force mobs off the map
on the other hand that means no loot :I

 

The reason why Archer has more range is because, well, it's a ranged class. It deals more damage because it has no defence, and it's increased mobility is a safety net for when they get surrounded. Assassin is a High Attack, Low Range, Medium Defence class. What separates it from the warrior is the fact it can vanish to get away, as well as use spells to paralyse mobs and buff itself. Warrior is a High Attack, Low Range, High Defence class.

When you think about it, Smoke Bomb is still quite OP as it has a good range if used correctly, and slows enemies to help you get away.

Spell Guide:
1. Invest points into Agility and Strength / Air and Earth weapons and armour. When you have Wall of Smoke (66), throw the bombs at an enemy's feet to deal triple damage. Smoke Bomb is Air/Earth based.
2. Using your environment, throw enemies into dangerous places / traps with Multihit's Force (56).
3. (when it's fixed) Use Spin Attack to paralyse enemies, then Vanish to make an escape.
4. Use Multihit to throw an enemy into the air, throw a smoke bomb at their landing area then (when it's fixed) use Spin Attack to paralyse them and keep them in the smoke bomb. You can then either get to a safe position or deal more damage with free hits.

 

exactly , 20-30% more defense doesnt make up for triple the damage and 10 times the range and than 10 times the mobility
i know how to use assassin btw..... that comebo with mutli hit smoke bomb and spin attack deals 12k or so
an archer can do it with 1 attack and at safe range but i am not complaining about archer but its obvious that archer is much stronger than assassin in nearly every way

 

Of course, Archer has a much stronger attack than Assassin, but the hit that kills an Archer, an Assassin could take 4 of.

 

not 4 of
mybe 2-3 but still , the thing is that archer doesnt need to take the hit it can stay from afar

 

Sure, but it's much easier to jump in and slaughter a group of mobs instead of having to pick them off one by one at a safe range. Plus, in an enclosed room with nowhere to get safe, the Archer's powerful sniping abilities are diminished by the fact it needs to keep moving to get away from the enemy.

 

My 3 meteores per mob would like to have word with you.

 

I swear to god this is why i went for a earth/air, so i wont have to deal with the assassin's spells breaking all the time

 

I'm able to one shot mobs with a multihit. It just depends on if they're weak to the element your weapon or spell uses. It's just more so figuring out what weapon and spell to use for every situation.

 

its the same with every class
but compared to others assassin deals lower damage and has shitty range

 

If you know how to use it properly it's quite effective still. Trust me, I main assassin. I know what I'm talking about.
