    its rly to early to make such accusations. we have no idea on how these classes will work in higher lvls and for all we know they might have better tanking abilities then BMs just like the might not. we cant say anything for sure and since we still dont know much of anything about them
    Its not an accusation its called some common sense as i stated in brackets on my previous post.
    Assassin logical job in global should be attacking not defending nor tanking(if lead by logic they should posses good amount of dex asides from str probably gonna use bit of magic and health)."If" assassin gets to tank then his purpose is missed by all means.
    BM class represents balanced nature of def and power(good amount of def and attack capabilities and decent health overall while magic is dwindled).
    The whole summary is:How will the squad chose?Should they prefer good protection and assistance on stun locking and DD or if they will probably decide to go full offensively taking down targets asap.
    Both classes have their own qualities but ultimately it will be the preference
    of the team how will they approach any instance.

    Can't say I agree with this. Usually, a party will have 1 Cleric and 1 Barb. That leaves 4 spaces. Venos are actually the class I party with least, unless it's for a BH within the Wraithgate. BMs, I party with about as often as other archers, and Wizards being the class I see least.

    The way I see it, Assassin's will have their place in squads, similar to BMs, because they have sleep and stun skills, as well as HP Drain skills, etc.

    For later instances Assassins can't perform the duties a Blademaster can. In FD runs the Blademaster is needed for AoE stuns and large range of AoE skills to bring down mobs faster and more efficiently. They also help dispose of Frost Bishops more easily, yes Assassins share the the speed buffs with Blademasters, but lack the AoE power a Blademaster has. Assassins are nothing more than a DD and in no way can replace a Blademaster. Feel free to say I'm wrong but without the AoE power of a Blademaster, I very seriously doubt it will happen.

    EDIT: Wow I need to pay attention to dates, that guy posted that months ago... *sigh* Oh well, btw why'd you necro it >.>
