Well, /discuss.

Because the pro guilds that are always dominating have gone to kurz, a few anyway. Lol, and even then kurz still can't stay in Lux territory long.

so yesterday i did some ab after a couple days off from going home for thanksgiving. i had another one of those days. nothing my team and i couldnt recover from so we still won, but i was more the target yesterday than i ever have been before. i was playing random classes, nothing that demanded priority of me over my monk, and the other team trained me the whole match.

i figured that i would have a couple days of relaxation from the usual because i recently changed guilds and am no longer wearing the "retard magnet" that was my old cape. yesterday though, was so excessive that i, out of frustration, changed to a pvp character to avoid my usual "name" of xxxxx maximus. after i changed, the pressure on me let up, well, at least until i was annoying enough to be considered a viable primary target. basically i had a long day and was annoyed with the random crap. why meee?

I dont understand why becuz of some sins out there all sins are taken as noobs, well ofcourse unless u are in a known guild. It is so hard to get into groups if u are not in known guild, u are kurzick and a sin. I wait hours to get in a group (though i join any group eventually and sometimes it doesnt go as bad as i might think).

i still Ab,defend fort and jade with some RA. Ab is fun regardless for someone like me who doesnt play too often and i like to think that i do just fine as a sin in AB.

SIn role in AB: Take down primary targets and get out , dont get in a fight which u cant win.

Get a new cool alliance with team annihilation, and end up fighting AGAINST them, definitely one of these bad days LOLOL.

beating hent, KMD and yumy in AB, definitely one of the good days

. And I swear we didnt gank for the sake of ganking, was honourable battle.

Fixed that for you.

And I wouldn't accept a sin from a known guild either, in fact I'd assume he was a cape leecher and be even more turned off.

True. But none of them do this. People think that being naruto or ninja or however they see themselves is something honorable. It's not. A ninja is a weak, dishonorable coward attacking unexpectedly and leaving in the shadows of the night. I suggest you man up and play something different, suddenly you'll get into good groups.

I have yet to meet an assassin that actually plays along with the team. They do have their uses in AB, but meh, every time a moron sin shadowsteps in and tries to gank one of us while were with a full 4 man team. It's not hard to figure out what happens to the sin trying such a feat.

OMG I LIEK NINJA I LIEK TELEPORTS GUNNA KILL SCRUB MONK NOW....splut lol.

Good assassins pull their weight however, when they actually stay with the team and spike on appropriate moments. Sankt shouldnt be too harsh on sins he probably never got hounded by a competent coward sin ><.

But bottom line really is, Assassin is an easy class to play, so many noobs that don't understand game mechanics fully play them. Seasoned players know this and only invite assassins they know and trust.

Running into a lone assa when you're solo-capping can be a pain though.

It's in general when a team itself stays together, the strength of it can be actually stronger then the individual parts. (Doesn't count for Tab invite teams

)
Teams make things happen in AB as long as they work as a team.

If one of the team wanders off, it weakens the rest of the team. An Ele who goes solo capping, doesn't realize that the rest of the cannot capture that fast without him. (If able at all.)

The number of tab invite teams is considerably higher on kurzick side.

Often seen a 3 and 4 melee parties arround (with no monk). Frequently with at least 1 melee who throw himself on the npc's of the shrine time after time

Forget the 4-man team, even. The moron ones I saw (I haven't ABed in a while) tended to do this:

1. Shadowstep to guy they think is wonderfully gankable. (This guy is rarely the monk.)
2. In the process, fail to notice the monk standing near guy they want to gank.
3. Proceed to ignore all the damage coming from any DoTAoE that might happen to them while the caster (usually I saw them ganking eles) cheerfully sits there while the monk prots and heals him
4. Die.
5. Wonder why the guy they were ganking didn't die before they did.
6. Ragequit.

Seriously, best line I ever heard in AB:

"Hey, how did your health just increase like that?"
"...I have a monk behind me?"

Dont know where you have been looking for sins, i would atleast give a chance to some before commenting. I dont disagree or agree with you. i can only say about how i play a sin. next time u ab and u see me (IGN same as username) give me a chance maybe ur opinion will change about never meeting a sin which sticks with team.

I do go alone time to time but not jump in on group, i am forced to cap alone when i see my team is either attacking mobs or not capping then i take it on myself to cap alone. I can cap alone and quick without using the PS build.

If you have been playing GW for long time, any class is easier if u have played and are playing alongside good players, i have been lucky that way, i have been in some good guilds in the past but becuz of my job i go MIA every now and then. I have played HA ,GVG hold two accounts RANk 6 and Kurzick rank 10, honestly rank doesnt mean anything to me, i like to fullfill the role given to me in team based pvp.

All that being said i have also come across lots of sins who are clueless about what build is good for Specific AB map and on the flip side i have also played with pugs who are extremely "seasoned" and we win on Luxon map easily just becuz we stay together and compliment each others play.

I don't think I've ever played with you, but in your defense, I do know there are 'sins who stick with their team. I just don't meet them very often, both on my side and the other, so it's pretty understandable how other people might come to the same conclusion. You said it yourself: you've come across a lot of clueless 'sins - and these are the 'sins that people are more likely to remember. (I have PUGged with a couple of teams with a group that had 'sins that stuck together, or knew when it was a good idea to split and when it wasn't - but more often than not, the 'sins run off into a mob, die, and complain about it.)

I agree most of the sins want to be superheroes and mimic what they see in anime. complaining is not limited to sins it is a defense mechanism for every player who knows he is not holding his end of bargain in a team. I have had my share of failures in AB but i dont recall ever being complaining or rage quitting(i havent quit any game in middle unless i am disconnected).

u have my username now, if u want to team up with me sometime i will be ready.

Oh, definitely - just that some tend to stick in the mind more, and eventually it becomes a class generalization.

And yeah, sure! I haven't ABed in a while, but I might get back to it after exams.

Most Assassin players who grow out of their cluelessness abandon the class for a more rewarding one.

jaximus · Dec 02, 2009, 06:53 PM // 18:53

i play assassin once in a great while in ab when i want to hurry and do the z quest. 2 wins and im done with that garbage, but when i do play it, its the coward bar. its super fun to play and many times people comment on how theyve never seen a sin q step around them, q rupt with exhausting, etc. i bring augury as the last slot to give that bit of surprise so i dont just play pressure like an axe war would.

Seanybabes · Dec 02, 2009, 07:03 PM // 19:03

Coward sin rapes if not shutdown. Not sure about the augury though, I prefer wildblow.

wild blow makes me want to just train stuff till it dies, augury makes me run around more and you can get that "oshit kill" which is always cool

Well, there are whispers in the wind of CneX alliance going back to Luxon. Wait times + *terrible* kurz allies are getting old...

I certainly hope not. That would just make matches more boring and uneven than they've been lately. I much prefer having the occasional challenge while fighting you than guaranteed wins against the regular kurz.
