Temple Strike + Chained Repeating Strike = major hurt on casters. Also, I really don't see much in the Critical Strikes line that interests me, so a Ranger/assassin might be the way to go for expertise. Of course, the Assassin has a better energy pool, but still, expertise is just be so useful.

Especially with Traps and shadow arts.
Deaths Charge, Traps, and Return seems like it would be kind of interesting. |

susamage. they are not that overpowered. because for now only
assasin mesmer seems to work. but the thing that you miss when it s not followed by ... say off-hand sucks.. Order of the vampire assasin is not working. Though : 6 assasins, 1 monk and 1 order is working very well as for trapping.. I tried it.. That thing is way overpowered yes. But the assasin skills are not overpowered. |

Heart of Shadow, Exhausting Failure, Shroud of Silence, Siphon Speed, Beguiling Haze, and Vipers Defense all look really interesting.
Can anyone tell me (my computer is broken) how heart of shadow and vipers defense stack? uber tanking seems to be the key, but do you transport twice, does only one work, etc,? Sorry, i really want to know -.- Thanks for the skill post. |

Skills are great if you can use serpent's quickness to have them recharge in time to run your combo again.
Shadow Step and Aura of Displacement...mmm...i can think of some great fun I also love the assassin because ive always wanted a character who can repeatedly give out conditions to shut an opponent down. The current "Melandru's Fangs" R/A build is very good at this...heheh.. yaaaayy Ok, now for the assassin's weakness. Wary Stance (warrior, tactics) will easily shutdown any Assassin combo. Enough said. Spiteful Spirit is great to use as you can watch the Assassin literally kill itself. Last edited by Lambentviper; Jan 20, 2006 at 07:56 PM // 19:56.. |

Way of Empty Palm + Repeated Strikes looks fun, as does Scorpion Wire, Siphon Speed, Enduring Poison, Viper's Defense, and Dark Apostasy.
The only problem I can see with assassins is evade/block spells and stances. |

Any chance these conditions that can be dealt via the assassin skills can be spread via epedemic? I can see a lot of fun with a A/Me build. Esp if you hit your target with Fragility before going into a combo dealing multiple negative conditions....

Assasin primaries are rediculasly easy to kill. Rangers playing as assasins are a different story though and do not run into the energy problems that assasins have over time. It kinda sucks after doing 1-2 chains of attacks and going to do it a third time, but come up dry after the lead or offhand attack.

The only way to run an assasin primary is with zealous daggers, I think. I've never run into problems useing those.

lol, and there were people saying that the assassin would be way over-powered. hehe. Assassins, IMHO, are good but they need to watch: 1) energy, and 2) conditions and hexes.

Given how much they seem to fall over in combat versus how less-than-devastating they seem, I'd think that they'll get a few tweak buffs before release. Could just be inexperience with the class, but Assassins seem just a mite too easy to kill for a melee class. No question that an Assassin can hammer you hard, but they don't seem to be the ultralethal, avoid-at-all costs killers I was hoping for. After all, if you have barely over caster-level armor and no option for a shield on a dedicated melee class, you need to be hitting seriously hard. Like, half a health bar gone with one skill stream hard :-P. Course, maybe they can do that already and it's just that the presets suck worse than I thought.

With the right skills, right order, and none of them "avoided", the assassin can take down another play in one attack stream. They do do a lot of damage very quickly, and assuming the opposition has no buffs on him to begin with (with a little help from the team) the targeted enemy will go down. In fact I think perhaps with an assassin a team could target two opposition and take both of them down fairly quickly. I think the majority of the problem at the moment is that players don't really know how to use them. That will change in time.
Assassins do have the potential to be devastating, but it would take a lot of changes to make them over-powered. I wonder if the general community's fears that the class would be severely over-powered has resulted in the current status of assassins seeming useless to many players? |
