I'm too poor to buy multiple sets. Luckily there's the J menu.

I love my assassin; I find her more interesting to use than a warrior. I especially enjoy combining Critical Strikes and Scythe Mastery and doing hilarious amounts of damage, with a self-renewing Critical Defenses to liberate her from bungee-fighting. The build is too straightforward for PvP, and eles pose a problem in elite PvE, but I've found it effective and fun for regular campaigns.

now lets talk some truth about you. clearly you like the assassin as the rest of us, but you aren't rich enough to try and get what you want. could you're jealously get any louder. I can tell you get rejected and blamed at from many teams and this idea of armor discrimination would be the cherry on top of your cake, just based off your comments.

Vain or not, atleast I can speak the truth. if I wasn't a thread like this wouldn't be created.

so sadly yeah, armor discrimination for the assassin could be the only way to go to prevent a time bomb such as yourself on the team.

for me to not to favor the boa sin and actually have some non core pves, I'm definitely not an elitist.

To the
Pah!!

1) The AB I met you in was a long time ago, I say I don't forget things.

2) I might not have 100Ks at a time, but I make enough for plenty ascended armors, My assassin himelf has 15K Imperial in White, and more than 1/2 to getting the rest of my Vabbian set, he also have many greens and gold daggers. My Mesmer has Elitesunspear, and 1.5K Luxon in black, my Ranger, warrior and Dervish also have ascended armors and max weapons. SO I'd say as far a wealth, I've done pretty well for myself.

3)You are elitest, as I recall, you once made a thread to show off your assassin armors, talking about how it was the envy of all assassin, dispite the fact there is a whole topic for assassins in the screenshot section, when people started to say (me included) that the armors were not that good, you assumed that we were jealous, and noobs.

This happened in a more recent topic in which you asked for more storage for all your assassins 7 ascended sets, when people (me one of them) started question your armors, you assumed that I was jealous and said that I had no ascended armor.

As far as I care, an elitist is someone who ACTS better than others because they are richers, this turns into a form of bulling (or Discrimination) and the elitists simple assume that people don't like them out of jealousy and therefore dismiss their opinions like you have offen done to me.


And that's the truth. If you want me to prove that I have that armor, just ask, I'll be more than happy to post screenshots.

Thats what I don't like about GW now. Once you get to the first max armor outlet you're done. You now have access to fow armor with a different skin. GG.

The only point to armor is looks, and that just sucks. They need to add special qualities to different sets of armor and weapons, so people can not only look unique, but BE unique from everyone else. I hate having access to the best equipment right at the beginning and then spending all my gold on nothing but looks.

The point is, you buy armor because YOU like it, not so that you can impress people. In my belief, people who constantly try to look good to impress others are rather pathetic. Be yourself and nothing more!

...are you playing the right game? The whole point is so that you don't have an unfair advantage over other players with max armor, and so that you can look how you like without needing to worry about stats.

Oh boy, this thread is quickly spiralling out of control...

15k Armor =/= to good player, BUT with the "hated" classes (ie. assassin) it normally indicates that the player has some pretty good skill to at least spend the time getting the armor. HOWEVER, it can also mean that their farming 55 monk or Wammo farmed the world to kingdom come because they think sin armor looks better.

I only use 1.5k canthan shrouded armor, and I can rip mobs to shreds in PvE (no, I am NOT using DB). And those mobs aren't lv 2 Mantid Drones :P More like 2-3 lv 20+

I don't think so. And if we did we meet and I happened to be the one forget, clearly you weren't anything special. Just the easily forgotten common folk. Pah!!

You make an overuse of the term, "Elitist," and you always use it on anyone that seems to have more confidence than you. So call me an elitist all you want. *shrugs*. And I guess you've been constantly eyeing at my ancient armor posted in the Elonian Section of Guru. During the the time Ancient Assassin Armor was introduced, those who got it fell in love with it and those that couldn't simply had nothing but bad things to say. During that time, The Assassin class was still going at their worse to get into teams just to take on the missions to take them to Bone Palace. Now I wouldn't call it the envy of all sin armors cause it's obtainable (to atleast some). I still catch sin players who just start out mention the reason why they made this class was to also get the Ancient Armor. The only thing that has changed off that is that players realize Sins can actually do pretty well and successfully reach Bone Palace to get it. So I take nothing back, as if I ever did. LOL.

The screenshot section is for screenshots, so of course I'd post them there. And to those hating on it would be jealous, and maybe a bit racist. I've been creating mainly characters that happened to be mostly black before Nightfall. And honestly you don't think people aren't just one person...you? LOL. You're jealous outrages scream loudly. (I can tell you must have steam blowing out your boiled face.)

This is where I can only agree with you the most. However, the moment you meet a player that is rich and just happens to love collecting armor is already an elitist. Don't worry, you aren't that special. There's a lot of players that will huff and puff and find all sorts of bad reasons for another's success, despite the ones you already accomplished, but I guess for you it isn't enough, is it? Awww!! As I said before, you make an overuse of that term.

Um...so because I have many sets of ascended armor, I guess that must mean I'm a snob.Only because I have so many sets. Sure. Wow, from what it looks like, you seem to be swirling some of your real life issues into Guild Wars way too much. Getting bullied in High School too much? Geez.

If I wanted so badly to impress people the way you are putting it, then I'd be in a Kurzick Faction Farming Guild running the Lutgardis Conservatory quest 24/7 just to help keep a pointless imaginary town. I play Guild Wars for myself and just because I seem to be very fond of the different cultures of armor I shouldn't be persecuted for it. Just because not everyone floats your boat and would rather take themselves on a pleasure cruise doesn't make a snob and a noob. Look it's not my fault you're beneath me. It's just how things are meant to be. Deal with it or not.

You aren't wrong there. However to get to the armor too your assassin has to be able to reach the places to get them. You're character do have their own map. I'm sure you are a pretty good assassin, however when you meet so many bad ones at the majority of the time and you just want to get by one of those time-clocked master missions, you just don't want to waste time, so quick judgements are always in the mix. As long you do what makes you happy, who cares what others say.

Of course not, but let's stay on topic.

Why do people hate on the assassins so much? What could the solutions be? How are you sure you can trust an assassin player (even when used a favored wiki build, which yet many still get slaughtered) that wont try and be a tank even if you warned him not to?

1) Back in them days, no I wasn't anthing great, and nor were you, not that we are now, were just 1 in millions of assassins.
2)I mentioned my armors because you keep implying that I don't have them, and are jealous, don't turn it against me

Yes, but you didn't post them there after you made 2 topics to show off, and each time a mod told you not to post here. Once more, incorrectly implying my Jealousy. A typical elitist way of trying to undermine me, I like to cause outrages, I like to let you know I don't like you. It's rather comical how you deny your strong elitism by try in insult back.

WOW, why did I see this coming, you mentioning something that has nothing to do with this subject in order to undermine me, LOL, YES, I have issues in life, and I'm not ashamed to admit it, I'd rather have them issues than live a normal life. True they have twisted me slightly, but I have the willpower to keep going no matter what happens, it builds character. Normal = boring and no challenge, is that the life you lead?
Remember, I'm not the only person who questioned you, there were plenty of others.

Your elitism screams out to me, in the way you constantly try to undermine me with, the "Jealousy" or "you have issues" thing.

That truely is elitist, just the kind of snob attitude that makes me sick, and you say that I lie, but just how do you plan to prove this over a forum? What are you gonna do next huh, PM me in game to insult me(If you have the guts), or make so offenive posts about me somewhere, it's normally the next step after this.

Ok, now shall we go back on topic, with that out of the way, I'll ignore anymore lies he insults me with.

People hate assassins because of:
1)Many mistaked Assassins for Ninjas
2) they were the 1st melee class without the high armor warriors had, so unlike the Dervish, the low AL on melee was new to people.
3)Like Flux said, using a wiki build, you can get slaughtered still, it's one thing to put the right skills on a bar, but it requires more to use the them skills right. If people take builds off wiki and expect them to work instantly, they are doomed to fail.

Don't need to. It's something you've already turned against yourself and clearly way before you encounted me.

Gee I undermine you? Haven't gotten any hugs lately, huh? And you don't like me? What a surprise (sarcasm). Well to dislike anyone over the internet is quite petty of you, but you don't know any better so next....

It's unnecesary to hinge the rest because this thread is about. If an Elitist to you is a snob because they won't give you the loving tenderness you never get in your twisted life, thanks god I am one then.

Petty? Look at what you have written, your no better. Not liking someone over the internt, it's just a petty as how you undermine someone over the internet. Natuarlly nothing you have said does not prove your better, not once in insulting me have you proven anything. You too have show your bad side like me. Now, I'm going to stop messing, you can accept it equallity, or you can keep insulting, and lower yourself beneth me.

I believe the OP's purpose was to band assassins together, and obviously we have a dispute.

To get back on topic(Assassin Hate) I think that people take the assassin profession too seriously such as, I'VE GOTTA KILL THIS GUY!!!!!!!ONE!!!. This leads to not kiting/teleporting out before they die. If you just have fun and pay attention you wont die as much. Unless your idea of fun is tanking ^^

Flashing blades does make it possible for an assassin to tank, as far as PvE goes, and naturally, most assassins should take some kind of self heal.

Yes, if you want to fight all melee characters.
No, if you want to fight a balanced party.
