thx SB, it also boils down to getting geared up & getting a good crit on my weapons...GDoH is on my wishlist, hope I can get it soon & see the results.

I have been watching the parses closely & noticed on ACT that my other 'ssasin always has a piercing/poison under Damage Type eg: Decapitate 21323/12.

What does this mean? I looked at mine & I don't have that at all - not even once!

Fuck MAs. Here's what you do, MT gets a target, and everybody types /assist and gets the same target as him on pull, then you /assist when the first mob dies, and you continue doing that till everything dies. Problem solved.

That probably means that he put a +12 piercing adornment on his weapon (not recommended as it is a weak adornment).

Fuck Assisst,

Just make sure you are doing these 4 things

1.) Concealment chain the dispatched target
2.) Sink your dot onto every mobs and pray that it is procing hemo
3.) Get close to MT and use cloack
4.) Make sure you are automeleeing the debuffed target (which is usually the one in the yellow, orange or red)

Oh and make sure you denied anything and tell them you are spamming your assisst key when you pull aggro.

Your a fucking bitch Hearth..lol. I knew you never assisted.

I think there is something to this.

Ishbu once told me one of the secrets to his high DPS was simply not assisting.

But he also rarely got agro as I recall, so could get away with it.

If you know that you're doing, you can fuck assist, right. But beware if you don't :P.
Assassins shouldn't have aggro-issues though, since we have quite a few ways to avoid it.

I didnt have aggro issues until I got my robe and then got an illusionist, now I might as well play in defensive stance and spec for STA lol.

Id encourage the OP to first get used to actually using an MA since apparently your guild doesnt before you try any of that stuff lol. The biggest reason for not assisting is basically there is generally a few seconds between when the mob dies and the reassist is made which costs DPS, also you have restart autoattack, whereas if your not waiting for the reassist then you can switch right before the current target dies to another and not lost autoattack.

Stinkfinger

well I think the main reason why you want to assist is, killing one faster is better, the encounter puts out less dps and when its down a mob, so the faster you do that the better.

switching targets to dot ect, maybe better in the long run for your own parse numbers (which this game really seems to be about) but its not helping the raid any.

LOL,

Ever Crit Cloak, Crit Hemo, Crit intoxication at the same time on the pull.
