Assassin's have flaws like they are fragile, more connected to combo's, and they sometimes don't have good enough damage. But assassins have the ability to run away and heal itself without the help of a monk. They also have better evasion skills like Flashing Blades, Shadow Form, and Critical Defenses. Not only that, but they have lots of energy gain from critical strikes combined with it's skills. When it has an +1 energy per strike, it can have lots of energy to use. But people dont use assassins because they are much more tactic based than warriors and dont have good tanking abilities. Also people dont like them because they think monks waste energy on them. My assassin doesnt need a monk to stay alive, I've used it in PvP plenty of times to get my glad points and plenty of times in PvE to do chest runs.

So all in all, Assassins are too hard to use if your simple-minded but can be alot more deadly if you have good reflexes. Also they are better against casters since they can do a horns of the ox combo line and do alot of damage.

Okay,since when a Warrior will bring a build to just kill a Assassin

After seeing that ridiculous Shard/miss combo, I think more assassins were created than deleted during that dismal 24 hours.

I will never delete my assassin, because there will ALWAYS be more slots. Either for purchase or from buying the expansions.

Plus, im the only person in my guild who likes to play a assassin, or woh actually plays it well in PvP.

I say it again, shadow step is a mostly pointless skill line. Nice idea, in actual practice though it dosn't work to well. There are ways to make it work, yes, but for general purposes, staying in the fray works best. And all you monks who like to whine about sins being hard to heal, I think you guys are being very stupid. If you ever bother to look at the rate at which a tank loses health, and the rate at which an assassin loses it, in any kind of a big, late game fight, well...there isn't much difference. You have to heal both about the same. And don't give me crap about how its tricky to heal a whole party. I have a monk, and I like monking, it's fun. Not very hard though, once you get down a good pattern of watching health bars, and remembering which keys are for which skills, it becomes rather automatic after awhile. So healers, shut up and do your job. Also, stop standing around Raisu Palace and never joining any groups. Dickweeds.

Wow...

So you'd brand monks as all being dickweeds and pompous arseholes the same way many monks brand assassins as damage sinks and having no idea what they are doing. GG

@op, I would never delete my assassin. She's awesome at what she does and far to many people just don't understand them.

The arguments on who's the best class for this situation Blah blah blah means nothing IMO.. its PVE so it doesn't matter if a class is better at doing a job than another.. its easy so take what you will. The guild I'm in has very few warriors in it (not through choice.. just co-incedance) and there isn't any part of the game we can't walk through. Some parts may be easier with warriors but who cares aye.. its pve .. play it YOUR way

This is slightly of topic, but as a healer I never invite sins to my group becasue 99% they don't know what they are doing and waste my energy.

If I had to go by that way of thinking, I wouldnt invite most people in pve. Really, people arent perfect, if they cant play how can they improve?
