A couple of questions reguarding Race and AA's

Razeki · 05-13-2009, 05:59 PM

Alright as the title says I have a few questions reguarding my assassin,

First off is race really that important? I have a level 33 (No big deal) Sarnak assassin with 51 aa's (again not big, but I spent some time getting there, time I don't feel like going through again, considering I din't use an aa run to get there). So I would like to know if being a Dark Elf or Iskar or Ogre would make a very big differnce or not.

Second im looking for advice on my aa points, so far I have
4-4-6-8-1 in str
4-4-4-8 in Int
3-1 (Hemotoxin) in frontload
Am I missing something for a Pve sin? also I would like advice on whats next and if I did what I have done correctly or not.

Why the fuck are assassins being called a 'sin'? why?

Race matters little at end game, and as for AA's, those will work for now.

Well, I guess he was kind enough to change it at least. That shows promise.

I agree, while dark elf would be nice, I sure as hell didn't reroll. I'm not sure what sarnaks get for traits, but in all likelihood, the only reason to reroll him would be because he's ugly as hell.

The AAs don't look bad, but I think I would drop int for now and start down the agi line. I'm assuming you solo a lot at that level, and point blank shot is nice to have. I never used poisons at your level, so I would have gone with the bleeding or tricks line next.

I dunno, they call it like that in Age of Conan.

It's spreading like a plague.

And yes, it's disgusting.

At least no one's calling us "sass" or "sassy". Yet.

race means nothing in the end and means so very little in the beginning, you wont realize what the difference is anyway. The ONLY way you'd recognize the difference between races in the beginning is if you could have ALL of your racials you are alloted when you start at L1. Obviously, impossible. The only race who has a significant advantage is Ogre honestly, if you solo'd more often than not or are on a pvp server. You get an extra stun and cannot be stunned from frontal attacks. They are damned good for pvp because of that. i'd think ogre brigand would just be a monster in pvp to deal with because of all of the stuns (and anti-stun) available...

I disagree evolution, I think race would play more of a roll at lower levels. I just rolled a brigand alt and made him DE, and at the first opportunity (8 I think it was) took fury of innoruk. As an assassin, you go a long time before you get a temp buff as uber as that. As for the extra stuns, or the immunity to stuns from an ogre ... well same thing, at higher levels you come up with other ways to do that stuff. The same can be said for pretty much all of the racial traits.

So, I think if race is ever important, its going to be at low levels. Since at level 8 you can choose from any of the specials, it starts making a difference right then.

i guess so Hoss... i dont know. i played a DE Assassin since beta (before assassins were even popular, playing second fiddle... even third, to the rangers and brigs) and was already L70 when traits were introduced, so i had them all that first day. never really "grew" into them, so my thoughts are more or less speculation. but i can see your point about FoI being a benefit in the lower levels.
