Seems that there are some skills that are a tad overboard... Right now I am not very active, I will prove with screen shots later on, proof from using a level 30 assassin. I really researched the beginner skills for the classes.

P.S: Before you go "l2p" or "stop QQing about assassins" or any kiddish nerd junk, I am not talking about from PVP perspective, I am talking about the skills which can be abused. I kited as an assassin so yeah, now that is over with...

Deep sting is practically odd, + its a far too high chance of sleep while it costing 50 chi. Its really easy for an assassin to kite like this, even better than archers O_O but costing half a spark.

Knife throw have far too much range, its longer than a ranged class while it also cancels channeling. While BMs have around half that range

Puncture wound have the DOT as strong as cleric's thunderball, but half the speed of thunderball

Too much bonus critical rate, for a LVL30 assassin

    A lvl 30 sin can't show any proof of anything since your sin doesn't have ALL THE SKILLS to proof anything, also there's the sage/demon skills that need to be tested out as well so this thread is useless.

    This thread is quite pointless since the you don't have enough proof that some of the skills can be abuse since you do have all the skills. If you have at least all the skills for your sin this thread will be slightly better but still pointless... >.>

    uhm... I mean some skills people, read properly please. I mean why are other skills there if those few overkill skills are there for assassin? I used the other skills than them and they were fine, but the problem is when I used the overpowered skills, its like all the other skills are obsolete. Second, I never kite as a barb O_O



    and... Last, but the most overpowered tackling slash, is the immobilize + 50 chi bonus... Thats more than sage gets from sage first skills right? 30 chi total for stomp of the beast king compared to normal tackling slash learned early. 20 chi difference but tackling slash is 100% chance. I got 50 spark really easily

    I hate to break it to you, but everyone who plays an assassin can go ingame and get screenshots of these skills. The descriptions are readily available on ecatomb and in other various places.

    "Proof" by posting skill descriptions is hardly proof at all. The case muse be made with comparisons, numbers, and tests.

    Proof that some cleric skills are super duper overpowered after all (I tried cleric)

    Seems that there are some skills that are a tad overboard... Right now I am not very active, I will prove with screen shots later on, proof from using a level 4 cleric. I really researched the beginner skills for the classes.

    P.S: Before you go "l2p" or "stop QQing about clerics" or any kiddish nerd junk, I am not talking about from PVP perspective, I am talking about the skills which can be abused. I kited as a cleric so yeah, now that is over with...

    Mana 27
    Channel 1.5 seconds
    Cast 1.0 seconds
    Cooldown 1.0 seconds
    Weapon Unarmed, Magic Instruments

    Requisite Cultivation Spiritual Adept
    Rapidly recovers target's HP, recovering 80
    plus 2% of your base magic attack.

    3 completely separate heal skills! Clerics can heal themselves so well, they can live forever against mobs! Blessing of the Purehearted heals for ALOT (seriously, can one-shot practically anyone's health). Ironheart Blessing is alright-ish, not quite as powerful as Pureheart. Wellspring Surge is basically a weaker, but much faster Blessing of the Purehearted.
    Plume Shot

    Range 18.4meters
    Mana 5
    Channel 1.5 seconds
    Cast 1.0 seconds
    Cooldown 1.0 seconds
    Weapon Unarmed, Magic Instruments

    Requisite Cultivation Spiritual Initiate
    Focus your psychic energy to form sharp quill arrows to attack the
    enemy. Inflicts physical damage equal to your base magic attack plus
    55% of weapon damage plus 37.7.

    Clerics are the only arcane class to be able to be able to deal physical damage. Plume Shot one-shot everything from level 1-10. Oneshot. Also, it's a ranged attack, so that means that they are pretty much the only class with a spammable long-range physical attack.
    Great Cyclone

    Range 18.4meters
    Mana 9
    Channel 1.0 seconds
    Cast 1.0 seconds
    Cooldown 3.0 seconds

    base magic attack plus 55% of weapon damage plus 55.0.
    Has a 65% chance to reduce the enemy's movement speed by 40% for 5.3 seconds.

    So wait, clerics can deal magic damage too? That's rly, rly unbalanced, in PK clerics can beat both arcanes and heavies. AND IT SLOWS. Not only can clerics heal themselves, but they can also kite!

    Deep sting is practically odd, + its a far too high chance of sleep while it costing 50 chi. Its really easy for an assassin to kite like this, even better than archers O_O but costing half a spark.
    Odddeepsting.jpg

    Guess what, Deep Sting also cancels channeling, and the sleep effect isn't canceled by Puncture Wound's bleed either. Also, it is only 5 seconds, but with a 15 second cooldown. You think an Assassin can kite like this? No, I'll tell you our "sinlock." (Starting at 299 chi) Shadow Teleport-Wolf Emblem-Headhunt-Inner Harmony-Puncture Wound-Deep Sting-Tackling Slash-Rising Dragon-Headhunt. After this, usually I find arcanes are dead by the time Deep Sting wears off, and they don't even get to attack. Archers, they are dead at the end. Now, add some more Tackling Slash in there and kite using bow/Knife Throw and you can kill Blademasters/Barbs easily.

    But guess what, Blademasters can also stunlock, and Psychics can make you kill yourself with Soulburn. Wizards can pretty much 2 shot you. Clerics can keep themselves alive nearly indefinitely. Venomancers can double team you and kite you with their pets. Archers can freeze and slow you long enough to kill you before you reach them. Barbs just refuse to die.



    Knife throw have far too much range, its longer than a ranged class while it also cancels channeling. While BMs have around half that range
    OPknifethrow.jpg

    And it only gets "worse." At level 10, its 35 meters in range and 70% chance to cancel. But there is a 15 second cooldown, so while you only have a chance to cancel one spell, they send another and kill you.

    Puncture wound have the DOT as strong as cleric's thunderball, but half the speed of thunderball
    OPpuncturewound.jpg

    Psychic's have far more powerful DoT's. Remember, this also has a cap on how strong it can get. If I remember right, the arcane DoT's are based partially on base damage or weapon damage, which continues to grow even after the skills cap at level 10 or 11.


    Too much bonus critical rate, for a LVL30 assassin
    OPwolfemblem.jpg

    You mean Powerdash, which increases critical rate. Combined with this, I've gotten 8-10 crits in a row, and powerful ones. You can one shot an arcane with Headhunt and this if you get a critical hit. But remember, they probably can two shot you without a crit.



    The point of all of this? You have failed. Play the game for quite a while longer, you will see that the class isn't OP, you just don't know how to fight it.
