my sin lives at the monastery.... dont think she has even been to tsumei....she only has 6 skills on her bar---and no others to pick from .....she likes to have tons of weapons and pretty junk that others have collected from all over cantha (yep she is my weapons and cantha collectables mule)....
so no shadow form....of any kind....though her first bday is next month...she wants a bone dragon...but will probably get a shiro....

I had a sin for the longest time, but never took him past nahpui quarter because i got bored and thought it was a lame pve character.

after i learned about this farm, i first took him thru 3 campaigns before farming, and found out sin is a lot of fun and can dish out insane damage.

just need to find a decent armor set for him now...

I actually started making a sin to do the A/Me UW chaos planes solo a few weeks before the buff. After the buff I was able to do it with an Me/A (which is probably faster) and I just left my sin.

I made my sin just because of UW...just got back from 6 month GW break just a week ago today, and I've always been very into farming. Heard it was the best farm atm so I decided to make one. I've never liked sins for normal play, and I still don't, but its nice to farm with

My Assassin is just under a year old. Low armor+Afflicted Explosion=Not fun at all. I just decided to move him to the other campaigns have had a lot more fun with him.
Haven't tried SF farming yet, but am sure I'll do it some time down the line.

I already made my sin a long time ago ... and she is only level 6 xD
Perma SF didn't give me a reason to play with her ... so now she's only a mule ^^

Yes, had my sin leveled and runed up within 2 days of the update and farming ectos and shards. Though now its moved past that -seeing what all sin teams can and cant do. The farm encouraged the character creation but the enjoyment of the game has led to more.

I made an Assassin right after acquiring Factions. She was my first Factions character.

Her Celestial animal is the Dragon as a reminder of that.

So NO.

I deleted my assassin long ago because I could never figure out how to play it well. I'm not really inclined to create a character I won't enjoy playing solely for purposes of farming, so I won't be making one because of the SF change.

Nope. My Assassin was my primary before the buff and farmed UW with perma-Shadow before the buff.

And I still love him.

I've made like 6 so far, but always end up deleting them. Now I may play one.

But seriously, I had a sin but deleted it before the buffs as the only thing it was good for was B/Ping in Tombs, tried to make one again but deleted when I realized I hate sins for their lack of survivability. Ectos are cool, but after countless hours of trapping, I have had enough of UW.

I did. I've made an assassin about 4 times, and deleted her... so this is the first time that she's made it to level 20. I was using my mesmer to UW farm, but seeing as it's only a couple of hours to get from Shing Jea to Naphui, thought I'd give it a shot.

No, he's currently collecting dust in his 5 armor monument in HoM, he likes the black dye. And no I don't farm, so he's going to stay like that for a while.

No I made a sin about 2 months ago and the buff was just an added bonus - and yes I like to farm for ectos!

I made one a year and a half back to jump on the Assa-Green Farm bandwagon, and he has been a mule ever since. Now he is back in business (with the added bonus of not having to spend a bazillion dollars to rune him up and such .)

Yea I'll admit it, I did. Who wouldn't? It took me about 8 hours (took breaks in between of course) to level her to 20 with all the attribute quests and ascend. Also had over a hundred assassin tomes and nice low req dagger skins sitting around on a storage mule so I figured it was time to put them to use.

made it, played the game, got closer to the stars, got the extra attributes, went to LA, got a runner to ToA and farmed uw from level 16. it still has starter armour. this happened in 2 days.

20 ecto an hour is too big of a farm to miss out on.
after 8 days of farming i had over 800k. for the first time ever my xunlai agent refuses to store any more money

I already have an Assassin, and probably won't use her to farm since every time I try a different farm that's actually effective it's "fixed" shortly after.

Made my Sin about a week or so before the buff because I wanted a Legendary Survivor - PermaShadowform was a seriously unexpected bonus as Assassins are the most nerfed class in the game, stunned they haven't changed it again already.

Nah, had mind since a week or 2 after factions release, and while I enjoyed her at the time, Its just not the same since playing my derv.

I knew about the perma shadow since it was out and never once bothered to set my sin up for it and probably never will.

I've had an assassin since Factions, but I never farmed with him. I'm not much of a farmer, but I have started to farm with him.

Farming UW looks so hard.
