I know alot of ppl have been commenting what I've marked. I've also noticed it myself. So far, there is no way around it. It's just the way it is. The problem also occur when you're chasing mobs that run. When you reach them, the sin stands still for a short moment before attacking. Hopefully they will fix it soon. We are taking some extra dmg because of this, since we could've finished mobs much quicker if the sin actually attacked right away. That would also reduce the pot usage.

As mentioned, things will get a little easier, pot-wise, when you reach lvl 29 and get your cult done. Some of the skills you get then will help alot.

If you have the lvl for the skill a quick fix is to use Tackling Slash. This Freezes the Mob in Place for a short period of time, roughly 5 or 6 seconds long enough to get in a Puncture and possibly get half way thru the cycle to get a slip stream strike in before the mob moves again. The only problem with it the may can still attack you. I am not sure what Skills you use against a Mob but a general rule is to use Puncture and Slipstream Strike as your Major damage start offs and then Normal attack until dead, unless the Mob is increased Life Defense then rinse and repeat as needed. (Yes stole it temporarily from another post ;p)

As for the HP Expenditure a Viable option it to take time out between quests and lvling to farm for Nectar and Golden Herbs. With a lvl 1 Apo Crafting skill you can make Life Powder. This Allows a 50 HP per second recovery for 10 minutes. I still use some HP Pots but the Cost are almost halved with the Life powder usage. The coin you save on HP Pots can go for MP pots instead for a relatively small mana pool. ( Note Not a Complaint just a mere fact that we have to deal with so no Flaming please)

go invisible ish before you start?
(only for like.....1 second?)

go run up to it.
after it aggros (before it attacks of course) go invisible and get to melee range?
also that little teleport strike attack you guys have should help alot.
b:surrender

(sowwy me information on assassins skills be sorely lacking right now but....meh you going to get invisible/teleport strike anyway lol)

I'm not sure how stealth would help on these problems. You use extra time getting into stealth, and you exit it when you start to attack. It will only make you loose more mp, and not help you kill the mob. It will go faster just walking up to the enemy and attacking. One more thing, is that with normal stealth, you can't use that after entering combat mode. We have a skill that forces us into stealth, but I think that would be a waste of mp. This is just my opinion, so don't fry me on this.

The teleport skill is not an attack skill. I'm not sure if everyone knows that. You just move straight behind the enemy, and then you have to attack it. I think I prefer walking after the enemy instead. You use some extra time/mp using that skill also. It works best moving from one mob to another, or in PvP if you need to get close to an archer or something really fast. The range on that skill is not great either (16.5 on lvl 1 I think).

This is true for the first tp skill, but the second skill will stun them too.

As for the attack speed problem, I do agree it is slow after a skill, but after lvl 29, I rarely even use a normal attack any more. 3-5 skills and there dead. Later on, you will get a buff that will actually slow your attack speed, when maxed, it will slow it by 100% but increase your attack level by 30. Rapid skill use, who cares about normal attacks. I too had some troubles until 29 when you get some great skills. After that point, my charm only ticks about once every 5 mobs and after lvl 39, it gets even better.

With that said, sin is a tough solo class, but once you get your skills sequence set and macros made, they really start to own. I use 3 macros, one for mobs that dont run, one for archer mobs that run and one for magic mobs that run. In a party, I use skills seperatly for hate control unless there is a good barb, then I use the macros as well.

Ok, I haven't gotten so far. Haven't gotten really into all the skills yet. That tp skill could make a nice difference.

I just got my 29 skills, and I have to agree with you. I rarerly use normal attacks anymore, so the pause thingy is not that big deal. That could be an intention with the sin too. Assassins are ment to use skills, and not that much normal attacks. They could have put that pause in there so that ppl will be "forced" to use more skills. I don't know, it's just something I suddenly started to think about...
