Wait a second! Your thread is about my thread which makes this my thread! Back on topic. Assassin AAs suck, our dps is consistent with other "tier 1" dps classes. Swashies Roxor the world of melee dps when spec'd accordingly.

You didnt patent it so I can use your title and call it my own!! :P

Assassin AAs are what they are, shitty to some, less so to others. All around pretty unimpressive compared to other classes, but given the balance situation, there isnt a lot of options that could be done so I can live with them.

There are tons of options that could have been done and still keep assassin's in balance, there are tons of post with good ideas on the offical board and else where to better the AA's.

Even the Dev on the post said the AA for utility could have been better.

...at the cost of DPS as a trade-off of course!

I would hate for us to lose DPS for utility we are after all a pure DPS class. When I rolled this class it was under the assumption that we were DPS with almost no utility.

I honestly have no clue why people are bitching about Assassins. Could our AA's be better? Sure, but there were classes with awful AA's all through KOS and they survived. We are currently balanced pretty well with the other t1 DPS classes and can beat Swashy's in almost every case. If you feel our DPS isn't balanced you should probably learn to play.

Going to have to make my first post to say I agree. Personally, the assassin AAs could be better but it would have to cost something. I dominate the parse in all non-jousting fights, and on them, I'm still top 3. Even in group fights, I can still maintain in the top 3, with no risk of getting aggro.

The assassins that are bitching about DPS need to learn how to play the class. The assassins bitching about AAs need to realize that if they were better, something would have to change for the negative. Personally, I'm quite pleased with my assassin, and I even found uses for Getaway, one of the skills that fosters the most complaints.

which is what a handful of us have been saying all along. I would rather they leave everything as it is than have to give up DPS for extra utility.

I wished i never had our current utility, Murderous Design and Apply Poison gets me the wrong groups!..... (FD would not by the way)


Also why make this topic, instead you should have made one about the KoS AAs and how the Wis and Agil line are overpowered! Can ask Anarke Np (Or Bladedancer, but hes gone).
