    While I don't agree on the Sins being imba theme, I do think there is one thing about them that is a little wrong.

    They can buff themselves, fly, and even use Town Portal while remaining invisible. This shouldn't be. Stealth should go away whenever you use a skill. It's common sense. I'm shocked this hasn't been thought through, because I don't see any other explication for such a feature. Devs couldn't possibly want Sins not to reveal no matter what they do once they hit the Stealth button.

    That can lead to several abuses, but it's not a huge deal. Other than that, I still think Sins are a normal class, not overpowered or anything.

    agreed....

    let's just hope demon spark doesnt give them attack speed.

    harmony > shadow escape > shadow teleport > rising dragon strike > demon spark > owned

    from no chi to demon spark in under 4 seconds. by the time he finishes casting his demon spark, you will still be immobilized for another 5 seconds. good luck beating that

    >>how is getting 300 chi for 268 mana not op?

    Unless the targets a BM or Barb.


    If it is then it's more like:

    Sin: ZOMG IM USING TRIPLE SPARK
    BM/Barb: k
    *Assassin attacks*
    BM/Barb: lol that tickles
    *BM/Barb kills sin*
    DarkSniper - 83 archer - quit


    The only way to win the game is to leave it

    This.

    In every other game practically stealth ends when you use skills. Its common sense that someone would locate where you are if you are stabbing them and such. That seems to be one of the foundations of the stealth ability of classes in other games and I don't see it failing to keep balance yet in those games.

    You realize it wastes MP when we are stealthed?

    I know it's not too bad because of MP pots, but that costs money..

    ..so I think it's pretty balanced that we can use buffs in stealth, since it costs us to be in stealth anyway.

    Besides that, surely you people have noticed our class name is "Assassin".
    ..we're SUPPOSED to kill you. ._.

    Learn to play, as a cleric, use plume shell against assassins, then kite them. As for physic, make them sleep and nuke them.

    My friend that plays a LVL60 barb can own assassins, his invoke the spirit made an assassin higher leveled do 40+ damage... YES 40+ damage, that is overpowered of the sin, yeah, l2p or QQ more xD

    god damn people! drown me in your tears already. sins are op....for about 5 seconds. if youre still alive after that. youve already won the fight. the reason we can one shot you is becasue im double sparking next to you, and then i get my 2 sparks back and use my double spart attack. if that didnt one shot you my next one will. but if you have a charm and it didnt one shot you then you have full health again. and if you can survive through the stun lock and arnt fail, chances are ill run (in which case you can kind of claim victory) or you should smash me pretty easily. we have first strike, get over it. theres a lot of sins out there, and chances are one of them is your freind. train with him damnit! duel him 30 times and try different things, and ask him what you can do better. there are ways to beat us. but you suck and i dont. so start by fixing that problem

    They may be OP , they may not , Like genies with TS in the earlies , changes will be made.. Should be made...If they upset the balance of the game. We can only hope pwi programmers actually care, but i think they do. They have alot of money in this game yah ? Besides , the future of pwi would be very grim if everyone were only Psy or sin .....


    Win / Lose ... GG b:victory
