Hitmans worth getting anymore?

I have the sign of bravery out of the way, plus 4 others. It's just a matter of time before I get the last 2 signs.

It only cost me about 75mil to get all this, but I could probably sell all the signs for more and get some other 99 pieces I need. Only problem is that I would be left with H&T.

    As "smart" as that answer was. . . it does not answer the question stated . . .

    Are they worth getting anymore? or is it better off just saving up for r8/nirvana.

    Hitman Legend costs too much.

    Simple as that.

    Looking rationally (cost/damage), they are not worth getting. R8 will turn out cheaper, and you got plate, weap and leggings. 90% of the sins tend to use H&T in their 90s, since you're 98... r8 won't be far. You can't resell them either, making it a sort of dead end, so you must be sure what you want.

    After that, you can take into account other things, like "I want another weapon then most ppl", "hitman look better" or "they can be accountstashed on this 8-sin account unlike r8, and cheaper then nirvana". Even though there are more powerfull daggers and more cost-efficient ones, hitman are still a good weap. I could understand someone would get them for some personal reason.

    Indeed it doesn't...directly. The comparison has been made in the thread I linked between Hitman and r8. Draw your own conclusion.
    I'm sure you're smart enough to do that. I'm not going to make your decision for you, nor did I say "Here's your answer [link]." I gave you the comparison data for you to be an intelligent human being and decide for yourself whether you think the daggers are worth it or not.

    Typhyse link was more than an adequate answer. If you can't open the link, see the data and figure out which is better than why would he expect you to be able to figure out an individual post explaining it to you.

    Basically, Hitman's are a valid choice for an early endgame weapon if you have a tome. Rank 8 have better dph but hit slower, G13s have more -int but start out hitting softer, both refine better than the rank 6 Hitmans. If you have a tome the -.05 combined with every other piece of -int makes you 5.0, meaning you have a 20% damage boost, making you right even with Rank 8 at 4.0 since it does about 19% more dph (depending on the refine). Without a tome you are 4.0 and out DD'd by both other weapons rank 8 at 3.33 and G13 at 5.0.

    Comparing equal refines Rank 8 and G13 both refine better. The less refines you plan on putting on your dagger the more viable Hitmans are. It's about +8 that G13's take over and +9 rank 8 take over.

    Comparing costs... Hitmans run about 200-250 mil on my server for the signs, maybe more. You'll need rank 8 anyways to make the -int of hitman's worth it anyways. So compare 250 mil vs. 2 mil for roughly equal dps. Can also compare about 180 mil for G13's. Another benefit of G13's is if you have the tome you can drop 1 piece of -int (like the ornies) and chose something more defensive for greater survivability, but still remain 5.0. So Hitman's aren't cost effective. G13's can also be used as a souledge for endgame daggers.


    Pretty much the only reason to get Hitman's is to have a nice weapon 10 level's earlier for a couple mil more, but you're already lvl 98. That or account stashing to a second sin.

    If its more expensive and does less damage, which is what that thread shows. Then no, it isnt worth getting. Dont bash my thread >:\

    Well OP already spent 75mil on signs before deciding to ask if they're worth it. What does that tell you about his intelligence...?

    That the sin class is prolly the only class he's qualified to play?

    ... I wouldn't be so sure about that. I recall playing an Archer being just about STA + autoattack and when it came to mobs it just switched to Frost + Autoattack. Maybe that's why the Archers are so math-savvy: they got too much free time so they apply themselves to higher pursuits.

    But yes, a dumb move is a dumb move.

    I guess for being so unintelligent I wouldn't have made a 65mil profit of those signs/badges. . .
    The 75mil would have been the final total spent, which isn't half bad for a sage weapon. I turned around and sold all I had (60mil put in missing 6 badges), and got back 125mil.

    So in what aspect was asking on the forum if hitmans where worth getting anymore? I would have got them cheap but thanks to some "friendly" posts I decided to sell all that I had to get a decent profit.



    And for Sakubatou,
    I have a 102 barb that I have been playing for over 2 years. Don't judge a book by it cover. b:bye

    Everything you say sounds nice, but none of it is probably true.

    So... you're admiting that you almost made a dumb move, but the forum's trolled your *** so hard you didn't and instead profitted by doing the opposite of what you were going to do.

    And then you point out that you have a 102 barb and 2 years of experience but still can't make up decision like "is spending 200mil for the same dps as spending 2 mil worth it?" That's doesn't reflect well on you, and I think my judgement was probably pretty accurate.
