Assassin Hate... Why?

Hey what's up pplz. Samurai instead of unsuspecting and wild which r great dmg dealing skills I'd say to switch out 3 skills in that build. Take out unsuspecting and wild strike for golden phoenix strike ( since critical defences is an enchant ) and critical eye. Then shadow refuge for way of perfection. This ofers a better healing potential. Also use enchant 20% longer daggers and u may possibly be a nice semi-tank. The golden phoenix strike while not as much dmg is 5 energy less for a similar effect of getting to moebious and death blossom quicker. With in theory around the same killing potential and better survivability.
@mokone. U r entitled to ur own opinion but remember that a dervish has its own faults to as does a warrior. A warrior normally kills WITH an ally or slowly alone ( cept for occasional and rare really good warriors ). A dervish while very good for dealing damage to mobs can easily be shut down by a sin. Also later in NF and kurzick factions area there is a bit of enchant removal which is a fault exploited by necros in PvP. A sin in factions is usually done for if u used the moebious strike and Death blossom since u have about 4 explosions at once. So yes I agree that I would take a dervish or warrior over a sin ( although I am 1 ) in factions when fighting the afflicted. Later while in kurz or luxon territory a sin is a very good asset to a team.
@shuuda u do make some good arguements but he counters everything u say and u return with a slightly different approach each time. Either way u r comparing sin killing a monk in 1 v 1. GW as Shuuda said ( which I applaud this here ) is a team game. Sure a monk can keep himself alive but what about when his allies r dieing and he is being atked? That's the difference between a good monk and a bad monk. ( I play monk as well as warrior ranger paragon dervish sin elementalist ... Never got the hang of mesmer or necro ) well I'm done since I'm using my phone to type ( apologies for errors ). I usually do all of those depending on area, like I said that particular build is very versatile. I just like shadow refuge because I tend to stay in battles and its a perfect in battle heal. also to deal with any e-removal(or even multiple explosions caused by death blossom to afflicted) I just use the AP spiker. No enchants, only 1 enemy at a time, kills them fast then moves on. And in my particular build, Monks never live unless they have massive amounts of health/enchants already on them, or have another monk next to them. But yes, in comparing most of these people havent taken teams into account at all. The best part of an assassin is its ability to go in, pick someone off, and move to the next in the confusion of battle without ever being seen. With huge spikes on top of the teams damage, an assassin is an invaluable part of any team.

whats left? RA? AB? so im wondering, in what kind of PVP do you own badly with your assassin? your guild doesnt seem to be high ranked, so i guess you must be a gimmick hero or an RA farmer? AB is actually a fine place to have fun with a sin, especially since some teams don't stay together. Theres plenty of lonely players to pick from and you have all the room in the world. Most AB teams don't bring monks either, so if you have a team with 2 sins, a monk and another toon you're going to have a field day.

to the builds; most assassin builds rely on twisting fangs - mending touch pwns it badly in both cases.
most assassin builds have hexes - either pwned by dual hex removal or divert hexes
if theres a special case of the assassin managing to unload his combo, ill just a single rof and my stance and its gg. :S 1: I've played many builds that don't use twisting fang, they landed kills just fine.
2: Ok, in the current Meta-game, assassins do rely on hexes, but it doesn't take 1000IQ to find a build that can function with out. As far I care, the Meta sucks, it's just cold calculating builds used to farm points in PvP. It's not "special" that an assassin can hit the combo dispite a crumy Viel and hex breaker, just a bit of brain power. And you can't have hex breaker and warrior stances at once.

@Destinyy: Both me an Mokone being wrong is victory enough for me.

i ran this build before in AB, it was a week ago or so
it worked great, i got my kills, i also had my kill failures, but it was still just very boring. thats probably connected due to the fact that kurzicks always seem to mob so you cant really spike that many loners - when i played assassin back as kurzick i actually had a BIT of fun because luxons didnt ALWAYS mob, but as it seems, npc killing isnt that fun. LOL if Kurzicks mob that means you already won, that's because theyre idiots. AB-ing against idiots is indeed quite dull because yo can win in your sleep avoiding mobs and killing NPC's as you stated
And yeah, playing sin is indeed soo boring IMO, just fire off combos and press I WIN in most cases. EVERY sin that i teamed up with ran SP/BOA and even then some cocky noron had the audacity to kick me out of the team because 'my build sucks' (One, it doesnt suck, Two, I actually made it up myself). Bah give me a good warrior over ANY sin please.

There are more builds than SP/BoA, which are better, and funner. That is the reason I stay out of High end PvP, it's ether "Run what we tell ya or get lost noob", you cannot judge a proffession on one single meta build. But if find all assassin builds to be boring fair enough, I find Monks boring because I can never see the fun in just standing there and healing, feels so unrewarding to me. Very true, I always respect original players, but composing a team and seeing A/W all over the place kinda makes me wonder how creative most players really are.
