A Look Into the Future....

ur missing the point sir. unwanted meaning no1 wants them right? whens the last time u zoned in a mission outpost and all the grps were like "oooo sin!!!! join us plz!!!". Soo.. You mean that when I hop on my mesmer, or my rit and go to a mission outpost, everyone WILL be like "oooo rit/mes!!!! join us plz!!!"? Definately not.
People have changed, lots of people prefer H/H nowadays, for regular missions.
^Flame on? I am prepared

...and Assassins get a new skill that lets them transform into a demonic Fox as they exclaim "Believe it!"

This is the future... This

Seriously, tho, Assassins are far from dead in GW it's all in how each player sees them, plays them, or retires them.

Go look up the Warrior vs. Sin threads where I got flamed by half the TAM alliance for saying Sins are good.

And OP, you are so wrong. Play your Sin more. They're really really overpowered.
Sins aren't overpowered anymore in PvP.
The problem in PvP is, that Sins had Techniques/Mechanics which weren't good for PvP. Shadow Steps (Aftercast was neccessary), Instant Spikes etc.
That is why they had been nerfed quite much.

A little Buff always gets an unbelievable Power. Just remember the Buff of [[Way of the assassin] (of course now 25% IAS is ridicoulus, it had been only be overpowered with Scythe).

In PvE sins had been degraded to a Farmcharacter. Thousands created an Assassin for that. First, after SF-Buff for Underworld, later for Budger and now for every Speedclear.
Of course is that overpowered. The best case is, that a permanent [[Shadow Form] isn't possible any more. But that would give QQ and suicides from the "Pro's"...

Sins suffer from the same dissadvantages in PvE that Paragons do. Cookie cutter builds with all others being unwanted.

There are two main cookie cutter builds that sins play casual PvE:
1. Mobius/DB
2. Scythe sin

That's it. I use a TON of other builds in PvE, although I must say that those two are probably the "optimal" builds.

You are also forgetting the [Assassin's Promise][You Move Like a Dwarf!][Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support][Finish Him!] cookie cutter template.

thats the only build i use on sin now simply bc its more fun than 123434343.

thats the only build i use on sin now simply bc its more fun than 123434343. uhh, right. so 123434343 is boring to you but ctrl+1,2,3,4 or whichever number of skills is necessary to be spammed on a monster before it dies to discord is somehow less boring?

Not trying to flame or anything, just thought that seemed a bit strange.

yup, sorry to say its come to this but sins using their weapon of choice is really getting boring. assasscaster both pve and pvp are more appealing to me now...

i'm pretty sure caster sins are 123456 also.

The 123456 comment is often used to describe a build that is utterly rigid in nature, with no allowance for variation depending on circumstances.

assassins, by the nature of their rigid and inflexible attack combos, are such builds by default. caster sins are the same. trying the argue the point is futile.
I can tell which profession you havent had much experience in.

I can tell which profession you havent had much experience in. you can tell that my least experienced profession is ritualist? gee, are you psychic or something?

[assassin's promise][you move like a dwarf][ebon vanguard assassin support][finish him!] is an x/a build so it doesn't really count as a asscaster/caster sin... Not to mention just about every x/A does it better than A/x...
