Iv'e just started playing the assassin class just receantly, level 49 at the moment. I've been following the guide from perfect world site. But I find I hardly need to use any of the attack skills in PVE. Havnt done any PVP yet though. Was just curious If anyone els finds that they dont need to use attack skills often either.

    Where are the Mods ???

    Rib Strike, Slipstream and Drakon Rising are attacks that are used commonly at PVE and grinding especially ribstrike against phys attacking mobs.

    Most people believe sins play better by simple attacking , but when your APS sucks i wonder how effective that is.

    not very effective at all especially in the lower lvls where the bp accounts for 10 hp a hitb:sad

    Also the numbers that people give me saying that skills don't do more dmg than auto attack (per 1 hit) I call bs

    In Pve no buffs no spark

    normal hit is 2500-3500

    skills are hitting 8000-11000 with crits into the 24000 (and some higher) range

    pvp best dmg fully buffed and sparked

    with a headhunt was 18000 crit on a very pissed off cleric

    Now there will be people that come after me and say it doesn't matter because of blah blah blah blah reasons but eh w/e

    Nobody ever says that because it's completely stupid when all skills do base damage (auto-attack's damage) + something more.


    What people argue is DPS aka damage per second... which is where autos beat skills.

    I agree... But I have seen on forums as well as in game chat where people give advice to other sins saying never use skills its exactly the same dmg per individual hit as auto attackb:surrender

    Even I have been told it a few times by people that I do not recall because I know better... These are also the same kind of people that put magic or water dmg shards in there daggersb:chuckle

    i think that the water dmg. shards are for letting control skills hit through psy will and expel in pvp, tho it is unnecessary due to condensed thorn skill.

    for pve, tackling slash and ribstrike are probably my favorite skills. ribstrike on bosses helps a lot. if you tackling slash archer mobs, they can't run. if you tackling slash melee mobs and step right onto them, they can't attack you.

    I'd love it if those fail sins would use Rib Strike, Subsea, etc over Eruption and regular attacks in instances like BH metal (particularly on boss they can't tank). If you can't tank; help the person that can! Melee Tanks get more BP juice when dmg is increased (Subsea, Amp, EP, Tangling Mire, etc).

    I had to much to drink last night and I just woke up so I may something off.. It makes since in my head dammit b:chuckle


    Uhh I use rib strike and that one that one aoe we sins have that works with heavens flame constantly.... And I use my rising dragon strike and inner harmony to 3 spark with those to giving out the really high dmg numbers that I have ss on my computer (the 70k+ dmg from a 90 sin using hook and thorn) And I also use my knife throw on bosses when I can see them casting for a skill or something.

    I use other stuff to I just can't remember what they are called right now b:surrender
