does anyone keep dieing while using their assassin on every quest or mission or is it just me?

i dont have an assassin but i am a monk. and dont worry its not just u its every assassin i know. thats why i discourage the party leader to use to many of em because they are to hard to heal when you have more that 1.

thank god

It's cuz they gots no meat on them bones. So they take every hit like it really hurt. Make a W/A.....you'r still an assassin right?

Assns aren't bad. It's the players. They have the same armor as rangers who can, if necessary, tank. They don't have as good healing (i.e. TU or stances) but they can kite the best of pretty much any class, I'd say. If you're dying a lot as an assn you're most likely playing it wrong. Have your assn have one strong 2-3 hit combo, a healing spell or two, and 1-2 things to help kite (i.e. Viper's Defenses, Recall, those kinda things). Hop in battle, get off your combo, and get out.

As for assns in a party, as a monk (or any class, really) I demand that there's never more than 2. Even 2 is too much for me. I request one alongside a tank.

actualy.....i've had alot of assassins come up to me in pvp thinking they can kite me....instead they find out that their just healing me and they run away.

youve got average armor and crappy healing.

the best way is to use your teleportation wisely. For example, one strategy is to have a few assasins teleport to the monk, take him down, and when things get hairy, teleport out

I can kill any assassin easily in 1v1 on my monk... what does that say about them...

Have I said how I love assassins in competitive missions? ... when they're trying to kill my ranger I mean. I throw dirt and they usually keep attacking. Result: 1 kindle arrow and a few poison arrows and dual shot later and they warp back to the rez shrine

Honestly, many assassins should learn when to run, and where to run. Assassins can be deadly - but most of the players don't know when to step back or not.

thanks for the info guys looks like the assassin will have to be put in the back burner and re-think what new char to use?

Empathy + super quick dagger combo = Many laughs for me!!!

I'm feeling particularily nasty,
