Well, another update is coming up soon, and nothing has been done about any of the multitude of issues with our class.

Since it would be unrealistic to hope that all of these problems are going to be solved, which of these would you rather have fixed? Personally I find it hard to choose, but for the sake of argument I figure it might be worth prioritizing which of these are interfering with our class the most.

EDIT: I posted 76+ mobs, when obviously it should be 86+ mobs, but I think most of you got the point :P

Seeing as the same person who came up with that badass spell SoH and our set bonus is in charge of our epics, I think it's safe to assume they are going to suck bad. Effects will be:
Makes all assassins in raid turn in to Dark elf (with racials) Adds 700 damage to fatal follow up for all assassins in raid. Reduces cast time of SoH by 10 seconds ( so you can save the assassin quicker duh).

1.6 delay, 60 max damage, stats: 500 sta, 500 agi. 300 regen.

I should probably explain why i said SoH. It's because I'm greedy, and want SoH totally changed to something else.

I think if hit rates are changed, they'll have to change the epic encounters to make them harder to offset the gains (but they will more likely just allow them to become easier).

Set bonuses are a joke period. Maybe i should have gone w/ that.

Whats wrong with SOH again? I seem to be able to use it w/o fail almost all the time. Rarely does it "not work" and I think that is my fault, either I'm not close enough to the mob or target when I cast it. I use SoH on the twins in ToK cause its just me and a Guard keeping one of the twins from running clear across the zone to the "meeting place" in the center of the hallways. Soon as I see his target change to the person ported, cast SoH and the mob doesnt move. Sure I may die once or twice but its all worth it end the end...

SoH is only functioning as a rescue (and a weak one at that, given the fact that it isn't always effective and has an immunity timer), when the spell description says it's a hate swap. The ability, in theory, should be able to be used to either take hate from your selected target (if they are the mob's target) or give them your hate (if you are the mob's target). Using this ability when you are the mob's target currently does absolutely nothing, as far as I can tell.

Besides the fact that this is of limited utility, especially in zones like VP where you don't have a snowball's chance in hell of tanking anything for more than a few seconds, it still doesn't function the way it was meant to since beta. There are currently some test notes saying that they are looking to correct the hate "drop" ability, so it's been acknowledged that the CA isn't working as intended.

a) It won't swap your hate position if you're on top. It's basically a 24 rank rescue, except

b) It doesn't work if you and the target aren't generating hate, making it unreliable for memwipes.

I want to say you're getting lucky on the twins, but thats an understatement - somewhere between 75-90% of the time I use it on that encounter it does absolutely nothing. Mind you, thats one of three encounters in the game it offers any use at all.


More on topic - I picked set items but it is more broad than that. A lot of itemization is messed up, and needs to be fixed - a heroic neck is much better than an item from the final boss of vp.

Bitching about items not in game yet isn't my style, and no matter what they do to SoH it won't make it to my hotbar. That leaves hit rate and itemization. Both need to be fixed, but only one bothers me when I'm not in vp.

When I use it on the twins, sometimes i steal hate from the other mob I'm not even on (if my mob is on person targeting other mob)...which can fuck up the whole raid...

Thank you for fixing hit rates, SOE. <3

The skills ridiculously bad for a lvl 80 ability. I voted it for a complete change, not just a minor revamp. But if I was voting for it just to be fixed, I would have gone with set gear instead.
