The problem with Assassins?

Their armor!

They see 70 AL (more than all other classes minus War and Ranger) and think they can tank!



Reduce all Assassin armor to 50 or 60, and let them learn how to play the way they were meant to be played!

While we're at it, I'd like to suggest giving monks 200 AL armor, because they need to be able to focus on healing everyone else rather than themselves. It would also be a good idea to give elementalists the same armor as was proposed for monks, because kiting is for noobs.

ehl oh ehl to jimmy I love that, I do think that assassins could use some better armor "mods" tho, but lowering their armor would drive them in the opposite direction of where we want them to go. Also I think that sins need some spell mods like DA/SA Half skill recharge/cast considering alotta the tele skills have way too long recharge times, also aren't sins supposed to be a semi caster? We have all the engery pips for a reason.

This can be said of every profession. The problem is the 75% that are useless (50% shouldn't play + 25% barely worth a slot) hurt the group more than a similarly incompetent player of any other profession.

I've grouped with great assassins... mostly in Tyria. They wanted to escape Cantha and its oversupply of fellow assassins.

Moan moan fart mumble mumble gobbldy goop

I like my assassin, I know how to use it properly, therefore im going to continue to play my assassin with the intentions that it is an equal character in PvE and PvP when pitted against others. It serves a purpose, I get into groups, I help just as much as any other character. The people that moan here, are just that^^. Please get over this, and quick, or at least discourage yourselves from buying chapter 3, hopefully there will be a higher percentage of better natured people playing that chapter.

If you decided to skip to the end, here is my tip. If you don't like it, dont play it.

THey're assassins, one stab kill is the way of the sharpened dagger.
