a warrior can get a pretty cheap IAS in the form of flail, where as the sin has a higher chance of getting a critical hit. not sure which would give better damage over time though. try it with both in the isle of the nameless for the same duration and see.

pve = stick wit para
pvp = stick wit para for 8v8
war for 4v4 because enchant removal is common

A/P

There's just so many possibilities!
Vicious spear, Wearying Spear, and oh so many other skills that are viable on a A/P!
I'm also seeing some great A/P PvP builds. I remember one that does imba enchant removal.

only the paragon has true utility with a spear, mostly everything else is just a gimmick

Critical Agility just gives an Assassin the armour of a Warrior as an extra, but it is more strippable. There are only 3 stance removal skills, and god knows how many enchant removals.

Enchant-based IAS with extra crit-rate, or a stance-based IAS without extra crit-rate?

Warrior hands down for me.

Flail = cheap effective IAS
High armor is always nice
Armor penetration for Strength even though not as many crits as sin, the Armor penetration is constant with attack skills and more predictable without wasting 2-3 skills to increase your crit rate.
When warrior you can use For great justice to pump up adren skills ANd use save yourselves.

For me when using a spear, it's either paragon or warrior all the way baby.

Well if P/x was an option, I'd say that =p

Sin does more damage

Warrior can use "SY". Don't let armor penetration fool you - it's crap. Even worse against high-armor targets which are common in PvE.

In short, you choose whether you want more damage or high defense for your team. Go with whatever you feel you want.
