Isn't assassin the fastest adrenaline gaining profession? How come assasins don't have any adrenal skills? Thanks.

They are given energy instead of having to rely on adrenaline. I don't know why anet made them like that, other then the fact that an assassin's deadliest trait comes from Deadly Art *no pun intended*, not so much the daggers, although those do have a good effect on killing.

In other words, Assassins have such good energy management, that it is overkill to give them adrenaline skills, which ANet screwed up with Paragons.

Because assassins "need" the element of surprise, and being forced to charge adrenaline is against the concept.

Huh, what? Where did you hear that? Daggers have the same attack rate as swords and axes.

Incorrect.

Yes, they both swing every 1.33 seconds, but due to to Dagger Mastery, at 16 DM they swing every 0.99 seconds. (double strikes)

Sawamura · May 29, 2008, 07:45 AM // 07:45

But isn't that 'fixed' by the lower base attack value of daggers vs. swords/axes?

At least I thought so

Just go A/W. Adrenaline problem solved.

Up up and AWAY!

Sins shouldn't be attacking the same target long enough to build up adrenaline.
