Safe to make an assassin yet?

Well the only reason i made an assassin in pve is to A: Unlock skills for a pvp assassin to do ABs and B: needed to fill a space .

shmek yes we like calling sins sins more than asses, also asses is a bad word :O Francis I have to admit, I had died roughly 1,000 times on my sin, but only about ten-thirty or so of those deaths was PvE related, most of the deaths was in AB's kamikaze destroying MMs and such, I can take out any target in an AB but the stronger one's cost me my life.

Asses - Assassin primaries who think they are tanks and spend most of their time auto-attacking when they aren't dead.
Sins - Proper Assassin primaries, they use shadow stepping to get in, kill their target and quickly get out.
I made a Sin today, at least I hope she will become a Sin and not an Ass. I'm having trouble adjusting to melee after being a caster (monk) for so long...

Hope to not doing an Assmo with mending
I have nothing against mending but sometime, its just rediculous where you can go with this skill.

Made a 'sin... getting it to legendary survivor, don't care how many times it dies and has to be remade.
If I have to... I'll find a way to make it safe to make assassins

My Sin uses blinding rather than shadow stepping,to stop taking damage in the 1st place, also use viper's defence, does that make me a Sin, or an asses?
Kijik Oni Hanryuu

Same thing here, I use Blinding Powder than step in (except Aura of Displacement). I rather use Spirit walk if I'm in Cantha (Rit hench always use Shelter so why not), Return if its Tyria. If not, I use Shadow of Haste. I did my first Sorrow Furnace farming few min before. I never seen Wroth Yakslapper died so fast like that lol. And Aura of Displacement in Shiverpeaks, its really a Bad Idea when Herectics are nearby.
blueone
I got an assassin to lvl 20 and did the first few missions on Cantha and then I stalled as no-one wanted a Sin. I found them really fun to play in the early parts but it got quite hard to just hench everything so I ended up just leaving him at Kaening (or however you spell it ) City Centre.
I created an MM the other day and I have no trouble whatsoever getting into groups. Pretty darn funky even though he is pretty slow doing BOTM all the time...

Othello. Sometimes Go, but Othello had a little advertising in the US with that slogan. Funny coincidence that both games involve black and white stones played on a grid, though they're completely different.
Francis Demeules
Its always the same, Lyssa's professions are alway some trouble to get a team.... but still useful. No professions are useless in PvE or PvP. Perhaps the popularity is Tank, Monk, Nuker and MM/SS (More MM than SS), but they still have the others which they can a better job than the "Quatra Uber Godly Team" (changed Trio to Quatra since Faction)

But then, if we beat you, you'll probably just spazz out and leave the game after a flurry of f-bombs.
Francis Demeules
Calm down everyone, I dont wat to see a flaming starter thread and finish closed soon after. If you want to do that, msg to others and not in a thread, please. We're here to discuss about Sins, not reading flaming and see closed thread after that.
Again,
Calm down, please.

Yeah i have lvl 15 Sin (A/mo) that i cant find groups for. so i pretty much have dropped playing the Sin half and make do as an inpromptue Monk. I mean i know the whole goal of being a sin is to target like the healers or the bosses and run like heck away. it just seems that too many ppl play asses and think Im a Factions Tank and now im trying to do factions with henches because im a sin.

lol Francis, Shuuda was kidding and so was I lol, atleast I think Shuuda was kidding O.o

Assassin 1v1 proves so much. You stand in front of each other and see who can press more of the damage skills faster. GG.

Nope, I mean it. Any assassin is welcome to challenge me to 1 Vs 1. I fact my blinding build was mainly created for 1 Vs 1 duels. To this day only 1 assassin has ever beat me fairly, my guild leader (And Im due for a rematch soon). BTW don't bother shadow stepping at me, you won't suprise me, I just switcg Vipers Defence on and the noobs never see it coming(I love that skill)
So No I was not kidding.

There's more to it than that. I don't need to be fast, I just flick on a few skills, then I'm nearly untouchable, so you will need a bit more skill than what you say to beat me.

lol I think Shuuda was kidding about being pissed tho.. Oh and I could care less about your vipers defence, I'll go A/N, Plague Touch FTW..
Kyle
plague touch pwns. It would be funny if a 1v1 the two people kept plauge touching conditions back and forth until some1 dies
Kijik Oni Hanryuu
"Condition Hot Potato" if the conditions run out, you die.
Shuuda
A/N is good, but I'd just change my build to less conditons and more Knock downs, usinf iron palm, Horns of the Ox and unsteady ground.
Celab
Theres alot of sin hate early on in the game, mainly becuase theres no escaping shadow stepping skills early in the game 
I still like my idea of making death charge something like a non-elite version of AoD, 45 recharge, 10 cost, enchantment.

Ugh... and why exactly can Assassins NOT be Tanks? We get so many skills to quickly heal and avoid damage.
Helll is for Heroes
Assassins find it very hard to get into groups, they are as infamous as whammos.
This is because few people know how to play assassin properly and when not supported, die very easily, and they are unsupported when they teleport into the enemy with no backup >_> which is very frequent.

There's no "proper" way to play any class, otherwise this would be Final Fantasy and not Guild Wars

try this see if it changes public stereo typing.
I've faired well enough that random monks on mission compliment my build on not having to over heal my character.

Your right there is no proper way to play an assassin, but there are smarter ways. An assassin is by sheer definition a selective killer, almost a focus in it self. An SS necro or mes kills warriors, a Wamo smashes and bashes things, a monk or ritualist heals and protects the party, a Nuker or a fire ele bombs things. They dont do it because it sounds like a good idea they do it because its what they are good at. An assassin can tele into battle and pull out, after he kills the monk or the annoying mes in the back then heal up and pick on the ranger. Its good to keep coming up with new things but if you wanna tank be a W/Mo. Use a class and its combo effciently, dont add a random secondary and warp it into what its not. If your gonna be a A/Mo be a front line healer, take healing circle and touch and other high restoring close rang spells and tele to the fron heal the tanks and drop back.
