This is getting really irritating.

Recently, In AB, RA, and TA, I've encountered lots of "Invincisin" people. Basically, they run around with full Radiant insigna armor, and use [card]Arcane Echo[/card][card]Shadow Form[/card] and [card]Deadly Paradox[/card] in a chain to have Shadow Form on them constantly.

Sure, they're hard to kill, but since they're investing almost all their energy and attribute points into Shadow Arts rather that Dagger Mastery and Critical Strikes, they just run around, dealing 3 damage per second to casters. Their energy is entirely devoted to keeping up SF, and their attack skills are always disabled. I could probably get a snack while these guys are attacking my Ritualist, and i'll most likely still be alive when I got back. (Provided someone else doesnt come along to kill me.) All they end up doing is prolonging RA and TA battles, and they are contributing absolutely nothing to their teams.

You're ASSASSINS. It's your job to gank the mesmers and monks behind enemy lines with your attack skills, not sit there in the fray while dealing almost no damage yourself.

What I do is just use [card]Ancestors' Rage[/card] on myself, since it doesn't target the assassin. Still, it's hard to catch up with them. They use speedbuffs on themselves, too.

I can see it's strenght in AB: probably alot of people mobbing just to kill one sin ..

SF assass in ab make me lulz
I mean, what's their purpose?
They can't cap, they can't kill, they can't heal. They even won't tank because if people see "miss" and "fail" they will leave it alone.

They're like Mobs...but they're harmless.
And you know what to do with Mobs, right? Avoid gogo.
P.S: Seeing them in HA shouldn't be a problem, it's not like 1-10 fame is much...
