so i decided to jump on the posting vids bandwagon, and now proudly present my own contribution.
in this video, i demonstrate that to play a good assassin is more than just bringing a powerful build and mash buttons. hopefully you'll pick up on the tricks and tactics i employed. i purposely used the weakest assassin build i know (yes kids, it's the shove spiker. BEWARE!) to give myself a damage handicap, and force myself to not rely so much on the build, but to use positioning, terrain and other tactical elements to help me score kills.

edit: and before anyone say it: yes, i did use the fruitiest music i could find.

I'm surprised Shove works so well but it's probably more due to the excellant positioning. Loved the mouse click positioning ownage. Did you use voice communication with your team?

The shove build is one of my favorites and can easily destroy people if you know what you're doing and more importantly what everyone else is doing. It sucks 9 times out of 10 unless if you know the exact moment there's a flaw in the enemy.

Shove sins are sick, alhough I dont run that build exactly. I rather use an enchant and golden pheonix for a higher damage chain (shove, falling, twisting,golden, blades of steel)

How to be gud sin: kill dead rangers' pets just becuz.

Playing sin in all arena's except HB is useless. For exemple in AB 99% of the professions can easily shut it down. As Ranger if you get killed by a Assasin, you are doing something srsly wrong. From the first 20 seconds I see you use shove immediatly after attacking a enemy. Everyone with brains dshotted it allready.

a vid how to play a sin? Go to HB, press B and observe top 100...

he is forced to do that because of his build (shove's cooldown and horn's conditional). that was his intention though. good job impressing noobs. btw excessive clicking is like starcraft players increasing their apm, also for impressing noobs.
moriz
99% of the professions can POTENTIALLY shut it down. whether that occurs or not is another story.
uploading highres version now. it's clear enough that you can read the texts.

i cant stand mouse click... You need to get used to it! There's absolutely no reason to WSAD in this game as mouse clicking confers too many benefits not to use it, and it also confers Chiizu dancing to melee classes like the Sin, so it's even better.
lol @ Cytherea as always.

Because everyone can see when you click to move....

/vote sticky because too many sins I know play with "LOL WUT'S POZITIONING?1?!1one" and can't do anything past smashing buttons. Great video. Also /vote to force this to be the first page Cytherea sees upon login and/or visiting the site.

Oh, I get it. You're taking my advice about the troll persona. Quote:

[email protected]:i tried to watch the video with an open mind (unlike other forumgoers out there) but that is definitely not the feeling i get. the running and fruity music were too much.

he lied, the build is not that bad. but the cooldown of shove and the conditional of horns force you to run around a lot, which is boring.

Ya haven't you heard? Instagib is dead. The ones he did get at full health were probably using sup runes or lrn2maxarmor
