Did you make an Assassin just because of the perma SF farm?

yo,

i'm actually quite curious on this case here regarding the perma SF farm
i wanted to poll this but it's not possible but still nonetheless
Did you make a sin only for the perma SF farm?

as for me: no
my sin just had her birthday this week (woot) and i've been running with her through various games already
i already had all equipment for the run even before the SF buff too but nonetheless

what about you guys?
already had a sin that you used for various things or you just made a sin solely for the chaos plains farm?

No. Never have made an assassin, and likely never will.

Kind of.

I wanted to delete a PvE character for another PvP character and decided to delete my assassin. After the SF buff (one day after) I decided to remake my assassin and deleted my warrior instead.

I used my PvE assassin for PvP quite often. Was never really interested in PvE with it until now. This has made me rather happy, because I can now get to/and farm the Chaos Plains, which I've never been able to solo before.

I once had Assassin and it was pretty leet. Then the nerfs came (mystic regen, Lotus skills) and before GWEN I deleted it. Now I made him again, so it's kinda remaking.

Only reason I ever made an Assassin is so I could farm Green Weapons (while they were still worth something) now it's just another mule because I can't be arsed to figure out how and where to farm Ectos.

I made a sin after the SF buff. Always had thoughts about making a PvE sin, and the SF buff definitely motivated me, but it was not the only reason for it. In fact, I haven't used her to farm the UW, only a couple of Raptors runs that I got bored of quickly. I play mostly PvP these days.

I think the class is really fun to play with and I like the female armors a lot.

no, I made my sin before the buff to SF but didn't play him much, I started playing him again just before the SF buff so when I heard about the SF buff, I quickly checked and capped SF at the first oportunity which was vizunah square ^_^

I love my sin, very very fun profession

I made an Assassin when Factions first came out & designated her as a Mule. She recently had her 2nd birthday as a mule & after the SF buff she was promoted from her lvl 2 Mule position to UW Farmer lol.

No, I allready had an assassin for 2 years now. She has been a mule for the last year but I put her back on active 2 days ago and she collected more than 50 ecto's allready. Glad I kept her all the time.

Yeh i made one just for farming and il delete it the moment they nerf SF.
Assassins dont do anything else other than hold items as a mule so theres no reason to keep it :P

I made one near release when I saw how cool 15k Luxon looked. He's still one of the most badarse looking characters I have.

No. I made mine because I thought they looked cool

Still have her, but never used her for farming. I hate farming till the very core of my being, so you will never catch me with ANY farming build

Nope

My sin has always been my main character - even during the lean times of the nerfs he manage to scrape by with tombs and elemental farming.

I made him because the concept of shadowstepping sounded awesome at the time. I was a narutard who didn't watch naruto.

But yeah, for PvE they still have MS/DB and Scythesin, for PvP they have crappy gimmicks and shadowstes every other profession can abuse.

I thought about it, but I don't have much time to play atm anyways, so it wouldn't make sense. (My Sin is 26 months old, level 3^^)
If I was playing like I used to, then the answer would be 100% yes.

Yes, that was the first reason I created an assa. Though now after playing with it a bit, it's going to be used for alot more too

actually, no, but it got me to get it to lvl 20 faster. i made it 2 months but only got it up to lvl 14 (lol, only played 6 hours) then yesterday i got it up to lvl 20 (14 hours total, slow for me) im excited to farm ectos, recently my only farm has been raptors (which have been very good actually) + i can now run like every where. however, the shadow forms buff is way too good. it is kinda rediculous, however, im gonna use it. (unlike ursan...im totally against ursan...damn ursan)

What a wonderful idea for a thread look at all those views
Anyway i was vry lucky that i could join in with the ecto rush i originally wanted to make my sin to
1. Prove my m8 wrong that a Sin can be of some use in pve
2. To run through the icedome
I decided i would create a sin char and made it a week before the shadowform buff just before it was buffed i got to lvl 20 and after the buff i just started ecto farming Talk about luck or what

Yes, I did. >_>

But since...I am very glad I made one, because I realized I actually enjoy playing as one. And if it weren't for that build, I would likely have never tried the class.

I made one long ago for the old Arcane Echo shadow form deal, leveled him to 20 about a week before the buff, then was like, oh wow.

Hell yes. 3 weeks and 130 ecto later, I'd say it was worth the effort. Will delete immediately if SF gets nerfed (my warrior is much more fun to play).

I don't even need the ecto. The fun has been in showing guildies how to do the run and hearing their success stories. If I was seriously greedy, I'd have much more than I do now.

Nope, already had one. Quit playing though just before the changes made it viable, so I haven't dusted him off.

Wouldn't anyway since I find such endeavors to be painfully boring to endure and have much more important and worthwhile things to do. Like watch Family Guy reruns...

No i didn't.

Never had a Assassin and I never will since I will then only use it for the farming and not the fun part of playing with a char you like and doing different stuff.

No, farming is boring. If I wanted to do the same boring task over and over again for mediocre benefits, I'd go to work.
