Shiro Tagachi - assassin or warrior?

When I saw the Factions Cinematic i was like "oh awsome assassins own!". But it Shiro an assassins or a warrior:

Is he an Assassin? - He wields 2 blades, His eyes glowed assassins colours at the begining, when he dies hes shrouded in assassin colours (red/purply/orange).

Is he a warrior? - he's wielding SWORDS not daggers, he's pretty big (not that has much to do with it but i couldnt think of anything else)

I would prefer his to be an assassin jst to make factions seem cooler.

Wat do u think?

oh yea and he "assassinated" the emporer

He, and all of the people who fought him excluding Visu, were Warriors. Visu was an assassin, and the four dead Ritualists were... well Ritualists.

Hes a warrior. He uses two large swords, and just uses the skill Hundred Blades in the cinematic to rip everyone up. He moves with more force than finesse, and an assassin devastatingly outstripped him.

He also has armor...

I agree with Avarre - definitely a warrior. Just because he was smart enough to strike down the emperor while he was busy praying doesn't mean he has the stealth of an assassin. The dual sword action when the guards flooded in was definitely warrior-like.

OMG! Major plothole! There was no Rurik in those days! Where the hell did he get 100 blades! OMFG H4X!!!

Since most humans are descended from a certain point, perhaps they just happened to be an example of parallel evolution. It stands to reason that if someone was born in Tyria with 100b, likewise in Cantha.

He could be a Warrior/Assassin.

I just hope when we fight him in the game, he's not a hammer warrior =/

He and Devona are in their own special professions. D:

who cares, Talon will own him anyway :P

/agree

Avicara are easily the meanest monsters in the game why wouldnt talon be able to beat down Shiro.

Talon for president

free cake for talon

No he isn't an assassins, he isn't a warrior either, he is a mad hairdresser who murdered the Emperor for wearing a hood thus covering the masterful hair-do he fixed the Emperor with. That day he murdered the Emperor, Shiro had a reaaaaaaaal bad hair day, as you can see from the video.

I think hes just plain evil... Thats like saying, What was the Lich? A Necromancer?

the girl from guild wars cores cinematic also dual wielded swords...

perhaps there will be a dual wielding swords class in a later proffesion?

LMFAO I laughed when I read that, nice.

Btw, he's W/A.

Nevin, the Lich was Necromancer/Queer/SplitPersonalitymancer.

Hundred Blades...Heh, and I thought I was halucinating. HE made me watch the cinematic again just to make sure it wasn't.

He's not. When the emperor dies, see all that blue light he draws in? Communing with the dead is either Necro or Ritualist, and bright blue is Ritualist color.

None of his attacks are assassin, he just happens to have the item 'Dual Ancient Swords of Defence' (he blocks a few times, so thats my best guess).

Hes W/Ri.
