I haven't seen topic as that yet so...

What do u think about playing Assassin and Psychic. I don't only mean about duesl/PK Psy vr. Sin, I think about all game.

Exp/Solo grind/quest: Definitelly Psy is better here. He has ranged attack+fast casting+knock back. But on the other hand if somebody more will attack Psy he will surely die, or use Holy Path (but it can be too late). Assassin in this situation just use him stealth=low dead rate.
PQ/Squad Questing: Psy here is rly more comfortable. He just stay and attack by max distance. Sin has to run to targer/teleport but if u can play it may be not problem.
TT: It's hard to say. Psy and Sin make rly good DMG both (Psy low cast+White VOODOO. Sin fast attack+all time spark burst+crits). Psy has skill making target better to heal/pots/charm, it's all what can help tanker. Sin has blood-somethin (xD) which gives tanker HP after each attack, something nice. What more Sin has skill -50% attack rate. It's great! Boss make 2x less DMG all time! Isn't it ;)?
Zhen/Gamma: We don't have 79 and 100 skills yet, so already Sin has only 1 AoE Skill. Psy has 3 AoE+Heal. It make Psy definitelly better at GV/Zhen. At Zhen sin may lure at mount as all classes.
PK/PvP: (Heavy Armored classes) - Psy kills them rly fast and easy, just don't let come to u. Sins have problem with them, all depends of misses/crits, so luck.
(Light Amored) - Sin has to be close what shoudn't be prob, Archers/LA Wiz/Veno/Cler will run but Sin has teleports and Tackling Slash. What more, for what we have stealth ;D? Here, all depends of luck of Psy.
(Arcane): I think here Psy has hard job, he has to attack as much as he can. Sin has best Phy. DSP so... Stealth->Tackling Slash-> few normal attack and good night ;)


What's ur opinion ;)?

    well i play a sin,.... gamma...well we make the farming veno useless for a start.
    we have 2 Aoe attacks without 79-100 skills, one of them is the same as BM dragon skill, only maxed its more effective, and no, only an idiot uses tackling slash and auto attacks, i know a few with -interval gear and a genie skill that can get away with it, but against soul of vengeance. wow u just killed yourself in 3 seconds.
    stealth is good for getting close an smackin someone, usually, stun- tackle- (if theyr not dead) rib strike.
    and as useless a ss people seem to think a sin is against heavy armour.....theyd be wrong, 78 sin drops a 79 BM with decent gear...... it takes skill but totally doable,
    both new classes can fit in anywere if the player has skill, just dont pick up a nub
    Death is only the beginning.....

    they only say sin can't take out heavy armor when heavy armor is charmed, it takes us too long to take them out that we neve rget past their charm, in duels i can take out heavy armor sometimes (it is harder) but i don't think that i coudl kill them fast enough to get through their charm

    i guess i shoudl say my opinion about the topis then... im an assassin and i know nothing about psychiks.. so i guess i can't really compair pros and cons lol, assassins have a lot of nice utility tho, invis, stunx2, aoex2, slow, sleep, silence, plus such a high crit rate! and 2x teleport 2x speed movement+... so much stuff at your disposal!

    me would expect assassins to be better at solo grinding/questing later on....one of their skills be a dam life leech lol~
    and their tele stun gets rid of the range problem.
    also their ability to lock mobs and stuff prevents quite a bit of damage.

    b:sweat
    personally me think they gave assassins too many control skills......
    also they should fix aoes so that we could actually target areas....
    then me would be able to knock out assassins using me noob power presence detection system.
    b:avoid
    darthpanda16: Firefox crashed on me. Aryannamage: I don't think I am a GM that would be new.
    Hawk:Do this. closing thread
    frankieraye: I'll see if we can replace the woman with a stick figure and the tiger fangs with marshmallows.//Issues like these need to get escalated quickly to minimize the damage.
    Kantorek: Yeah.. you should try it. It's awesome.
    Sihndra: Nope- not currently possible under any circumstances. Sorry.
    LokisDottir: I mean...not haunting the forums, nope nope..
    Konariraiden: You don't know what you are up against. You will lose.
    Waiting for...Hamster Packs!
    58% chance to get tokens
    41% chance to get an all class pet hamster....but they has already been freed by the magic hamster.
    1% chance to get ban hamstered with the message "Hamsters United!"

    What's ur opinion ;)?

    this made me wanna cry so lemme break this down

    1. Sins have their own kind of "built in cleric" aka Bloodpaint which gives us a way of aoe grinding without dieing at all but again this is endgame(Past level 80+)

    2.) Psy no doubt about it, so no problems there

    3.) Its sins all the way -50% att speed+crits+ double spark + nicer attack rate pretty much as soon as the other ends= boss dead quicker then ever. Sure psy have the skill to decrease hp cooldown, but i barb would rather not have 2 use it as much then letting it tick sooner because in the end he's not gonna die as easy from both.

    4.) Sins have 2 aoes not 1, Earthen Rift and Subsea Strike. We do the venos job quicker/the same time as a veno and we can do a good amount of damage.

    5. Psy win killing HA, Sins suck nuff said

    6.LA= Sin prey, kills faster then psy because it usually ends in 1-2 shots

    7. Arcane= Sins ultimate prey, 1 shot most of the time, 2 shoots other times.b:victory

    there is a chance against heavy armor charmed as sins O.O

    wait for them to tick, and combine spark+thunderstorm. i 1shoted a bm with a crit thunderstorm, and as my crit rate is 10%.. worth a try, if you fail that streak and he ticks again.. better escape already^^

    You could kill them early game, mid game is wayyy different. Endgame we MIGHT be able to beat them but we will have 2 see.

    On squad id vote for sin... i have saved a lot of robes with my sin without dieing (tackling slash) better known as inmobilize.

    On grind - Psychic wins

    On pvp against heavies - Psychic wins

    Assassin vs psychic on pvp - everyone can win, if the assassin can kill him before he use psychic will assassin will be ok. if the psychic can kill him before he use shadow scape psychic will be ok. its about who attack first

    Assassin vs light and arcane - nothing to say, assassin wins.

    Well,about " Sin vs Psy " ... ppl would say that a sin would win,but if psy know his skills and hot to play,would kill an higher lvl sin too > psy will > soulburn.

    I used to 1-2-3 shoot them :

    Black Voodoo > Heart Vector > Crystal Light > and if still alive ,just play with psywill and skills like Glacial Shards,or if the sin is quite near ("if the SIN is near,dont never run too close to the sin ") use Aqua Cannon and LandSlide.

    I worked about this ,also,but it's not worth on sins when they use TP stuns -same for seekers- or on BMs when they get immunity to stuns :

    (only usable with FULL chi )

    Tide Spirit > Heart Vector > Crystal Light > Soulburn -and if vs a sin or bm ,this worked,u can continue with White Voodoo and if got some chi pots, cast Psywill.

    Im not enough pro to suggest,but i can own ppl with this xD

    -hoping i help u :< b:surrenderb:laugh

    No, tooo late to save you. You go into OP squads with lvl 1 bell and HF. Since everyone has new gear, the new challenge is to do with lvl 1 skills.

    +1 for necro.
