Hello everyone. I was wondering, if u get hit by AoE when u're in Stealth Mode, do u become visible? If yes, then it kinda sucks in TW. Oh, to TWs, I heard that Assasin suck in TW, is that true? I'll be thankful for replies b:thanks

    i think in stealth sin dmg should be halfed as a draw back for going stealth..seems reasonable.
    This game is like washing hair with shampoo... Rinse and repeat if desired.

    If you're hit by AoE while in stealth, you do get forced out of it. It doesn't really suck if you have enough hp. Just avoid things receive AoE (like catas, masses of people, lalalala). Sins are sins in tw, so assassinate. Go for clerics, suicide, and nuke everything.

    The only time sins are in hot water in tw are when other sins can see you. Then they attack you, force you out of stealth, and you become target practice.b:victory

    Yes, if you enter combat mode while in stealth, you get kicked out of stealth.

    You enter combat mode by attacking something, or getting attacked by something.
    Only exeption is the final hit mobs give when you force stealth (when someone/thing is channeling and THAN you disapere, they will finish the channel and cast the skil. same thing goes for players). This hit wil not kick you out of stealth.

    In TW, you simply have to avoid everyone else who is getting AoE'd (mostly crowds), and search for your target in stealth, kill the target, and stealth again

    AoEs that make you feel like you are playing Frogger game aside, Bramble works differently in TW than in world PvP. It's the same thing in duels. I think they forgot to put PvP reduction on Bramble for TW and duel, so then % reflected back is based off of how much you would've hit on a mob instead of a player. When I headhunt a Cleric in TW, I get 2k damage reflected back at me -______-. So yeah, you are dying just by doing your job, and that's before their squad realized you are on their Cleric.

    Not fast enough. If you have to wait for a minute and half between your kills in TW, you are practically useless.

    In summary, yes, Sins suck in TW.

    That's boring waiting for the cooldown. Attack the priority class, stealth, then pick off single targets. Fish suck in the middle of a cata parade that's taking heat from every aoe happy DD. Knife throw clerics that have BBs set up to interrupt. Nuke nuke. Be a glass cannon. Boom boom shatter respawn. b:shocked

    Grand scheme of things, it's better for sins to stealth til they're behind the cata team and pick off clerics and wizzies. No triple sparking tho or you'll get focused :3

    Tried it. Doesn't really work because Clerics are not along behind the cata squad. They are usually surrounded by Archers or Venos (at least in big TWs that I do). A lot of times, there are also cata support squads behind the cata squad, so you'll get picked off by them. Did I mention that 2/3 of the damage you do is reflected back at you by Bramble?

    one thing people seem to be missing is that sins make great tw scouts although its a pretty boring role to play. If a higher lvl sin shows up; you're screwed though. lol

    That's about the only thing we are good for in TW, and even then, any class can just die in the air by their gate and not res.

    Tackling a barb before he can immune and run keeps him in 1 spot longer than any other class can. using our stun combo and with backup you can keep a barb held in 1 spot unable to do anything (unless he uses domain which blows all his genie energy most likely) while your team focuses him down or focuses another barb then turns to him.

    TW for sins is not for the casual geared player. you need to be able to take more than 1-2 hits before folding like a wet paper bag.
