Most of the classes have a 2-3 short form.. but due to the 1st 3 letters of Assassin ... what is the "short form".

Due to people avoiding "@$$" for Assassin, what are people are calling it.

I've been using asa and people been have been understanding what I meant.

At least Rit is easy. I did notice that advertising as an Assassin comes out A/X (X=subjob)

Well that's what happens when you don't have a build name to advertise. It's pretty common to read R/Mo or W/Mo, etc.
It will come along when A/x will get their cookie cutter builds, like E ward or Me e-surge...

I think that ASN would do well as a good abbreviation.

from what i've seen, everyone just goes "no more assassins/assasins" still too many of them around to specifically ask for them, so guess the abbrieviation will take some time to come around >.>

and i like to call myself emo ^^ whenever people ask what my first char is i always say it's an emo ^^;

How about just using the class abbreviation "A"?
Seriously, "asn", "sin" "assy" all need to die.

why do you guys have to bend everything beyond recognition? why can't we all just use a short, simple and easy-to-remember ASS?

Could cause some confusion if you misread the A as in class vs A in a senteance.

May language filter in GW wipes that out in text chat.

I am enjoying my Ass/Ran, poison works well with daggers.

On the other cheek, my Ran/Ass is awesome - Shadow Step into the mob, Whirling Defense, lay traps, Return back from the carnage.

in mission areas they normally refer to themselves as ass 's (nuff said :P) Sin sounds better to me, but they seem to want to be called Assmo's or asswars. My wife wondered what i was laughing at when one assasin was spamming. "Anyone want an asswar????" Made my juvinile mind chuckle at least

All those abbreviations are horrible. How about we just type out the whole name?

I just call them "Ass" its only a bad word if its meant to be bad, in this case it is not. If I dont use Ass I just say A since thats GW official short term.

Anyway I agree That red guy, they are a good and valueable class, especially in pvp but most don't understand how they work. They think they are tanks just because they use melee so they stay there with their crap armor to die. Thye have shadow step skills for a reason, unleash a combo and leave, heal and head back.

As far as I remember, in D2 they were abbreviated to "asn". I wouldn't be surprised if that takes hold here...
