Skill Spammer? -I don't get it!

I've seen this mentioned a few times in guides like:
Skill Spammer: well, the name says it all. (Not as expensive build as interval, so you can get by with the regular gear setup.)

How can it not be as expensive? Pots are frekin' outrageous for this class even w/ -int. Does -int go up to a group of mobs soloing or power leveling FF and lure one out at a time? -Ok; got me. b:chuckle Sage Rib Strike, Subsea Strike, Chill of the Deep, Inner Harmony, Wolf Emblem, Deep Sting, Earthen Rift, Tackling Slash, Knife Throw, Shadow Jump, Shadow Teleport, Shadow Walk, Shadow Escape, and Throat Cut -useless to -int?

There are so many ignorant people in game; it's not funny. They go demon because "more dmg", and "could care less about skills". Outside of Nirvana; AoE is where it's at. Sage Sins blow away Demon starting with Dagger Devotion and on to include Earthen Rift, Subsea, Chill of the Deep, +25% def from spark, Inner Harmony, etc. Demon has to sit idle in erupt before it can begin to do more dmg which is limited to 1-1 which Sage can use Windshield for.

Sorry but 1vs1 / Erupt before doing anything PvE = fail outside of Nirvana. All classes seem to have their useless skills. Even w/o -int: our worthless skills remain useless.

Can anyone justify the use of this term "skill spammer" among Assassins?

    If you are talking about pre-endgame, then windshield =/= demon spark. If you are talking about 4.0 base endgame, then everything in FC dies to triple spark + Earthen anyways and the extra damage from level 11 skill doesn't matter anyways. If anything, 2 extra meters of range is more beneficial to a relatively small ranged AoE like Earthen. So... I'm not exactly sure what you are asking/trying to say. Are you talking about how sage can auto attack too so they shouldn't be called skill spammer? But if you use all those sage skills you mentioned outside of Nirvana, you are... using skills instead of auto attacking, hence skill spamming? Where are you going with this? It's like you started by talking about skill spamming then went off on a rant about sage skills > demon then came back asking for justification of the term for someone who uses those sage skills you just mentioned...

    Idk if you know 25% weapon damage from sage mastery =/= 25% more overall damage. Consider it's only a couple of % boost to overall damage, I can hardly call it "blow away".

    Outside of Nirvana there's TT and FC. What else do people do these days? BH are mostly boss fights. How often do people even do RB anymore outside of 2nd wave BH?

    Tweakz has some thoughts in his head.

    Tweakz tries to translate these thoughts into words which will present a coherent argument.

    Somewhere between the brain, through the arms, into the fingertips, and into the words Tweakz types out, there is a break in the connection. Nothing useful is typed.

    In fact, upon further consideration, the problem probably lies within the brain of Tweakz.

    With a malfunctioning brain, Tweakz cannot generate useful thoughts.

    Thus, all attempts at communication are ineffective.

    Thus, Tweakz is a troll.

    That is all.

    Biased Much ??????? No no , the grand tweakz is never biased.

    If every thread u make ends up in ur beliefs that sage is better than demon for sins and refuse to accept any other opinions (like u have never done this before >.> ) , ur every post will end up like this . If u want serious answers , in case u cant understand ur trolling , start using da brain please :)

    Go back to the Veno section , at least there you're way more useful

    Demon is better for DPS.
    Sage is more support.

    Neither is better overall than the other.

    You put the two together though and it's disgusting... Lol

    Overall this is all that can be said, Sage= DPH Demon= DPS. Yes Sage can Go DPS endgame as well as have its skills as well as Demon Using more than just stun- spark- auto attack. Neither is better than the other nor is either worse than the other it just depends on playing style.

    Mainly Noobs and Bms/Archers say that Demon is better probably because of past slightly biased experience ( IF you are or were a Sage Archer or Bm please do me a favor and delete ur char/the game please)

    As well as

    Mainly Casters. long time players, or people who thrive on not getting hit like Sage. All in all its just a war of opinion which can never been one because people are opinionated and love to be right. Just pick a side and start wackin ^^b:bye
    Just don't. This is your final warning.

    u do know int dosnt make skills faster right? just auto atk. so if ur spamming skills ur not useing auto atk and everything is the same speed. do be honest the sins that rely only on there spark and int to save there asses r the ones always ganking or dying. and ur in a class that can keep someone locked forever and ur calling the skills fail? biggest noob iv ever seen.

    Okeano's 1st post in saying +25% phys atk =/= +25% overall damage. It just recently occurred to me that even though melee triple spark increases it 300%, it only doubles my actual damage dealt.

    (WTF? This spell checker doesn't recognize "melee" lmfao!)
