    the cooldown for the escape skill is like 1:30 mins i think maybe morewhich means that no it cant be used in combat more than once if it can you have played the battle out too far lol

    Might work for clerics but my comments are in red.
    at my level, any good sin 90+ can easily kill me, a mediocre geared cleric unless i use abs doman or expel to survive the stun lock, and its not jsut the stuns they have seal, sleep too

    I found that there was a huge problem w. the stun too. Pulling some distance is usually one of the only things that keeps me alive against melle classes. That's why I recommended badge of courage to break stun. This then allows me to kite. Yes a sin can jump but they can't use shadow teleport while its in cooldown. If they try to land other skills you can get out of range. If they use tackling slash you can put up plumeshell before they set stun lock. Or a lot of times they'll just force stealth giving badge of courage time to cooldown.

    that's what I proposed as a potential solution. But then again, I have yet to test this.
    and bro...fyi this isn't a story.

    It happened in dragon temple event. I was attacked by assassin from invisibility of course. Finally when I survived stunts, critical, etc I was going to hit him with looong channeling spell(because of course mages have incredible long channeling time regardless of used spell in compare with his attack rate), but he DISAPPEAR!!!. My question is. Is this the BALANCED game in your sight? GM pls. answer. I want to know what I can do against them.
    Thanks

    The reason you uber long casting spell cancelled isn't becuase the sin went into stealth it is becuase the sin ran out of range of you uber kill them all spell. If they had poked you and decided to stay in range it would have gone off like normal, and a dead sin would have appeared.But they dicided they didn't want to stick arround for you're uber kill all spell so got out of range just like any other class that didnt want to stick arround would have done.

    I've tried knocking a sin out of stealth w/ long channeling skills. it doesn't work. This can be noted by the fact that I ticked deaden nerves, but I never knocked the sin out of stealth. The only way I've knocked sins out of stealth is by aoeing a nearby mob.

    Channeling has to be finished, if it be casting then it'll hit the sin.

    It be pretty hard to find sins dumb enough to go close enough near mobs for me to aoe.

    yeah i jsut tried it out today actually i havent been playing but i though that while having damaage on u you might not be able to BUT the best way to stop a sin from going stealth is using sleep stun seal skill i guess just before they going to change.

    Hmm was just looking through genie skill list on ecatomb and found this:

    Will Surge - lvl 7 genie skill
    Makes caster immune to silence (seal) for 7 seconds at lvl 10

    With a high energy genie (like 205 energy) maybe this could be combined with expel to protect squishies from sins? Tho they could still stun/sleep/paralyze lock you...which is where absolute domain would be better =x

    EDIT:

    Also check out aquaflame armor (lvl 9), wiz only skill that reduces dmg you take my 400% for 10 secs then increases dmg you take by 40% for 10 seconds.
    Probably better to keep it at lvl 1 tho.

    sins need stealth to survive, since they have such low health and defence, if u see them coming to attack u then u can kill them easily, so they need stealth to stand a chance. I think if u use an AOE spell and the assassin walks into it while stealthed it will unstealth ( well thats what happens in WoW).

    Here's the fun part: AOE spells require a target to begin channeling. So if you're not near something you can AOE, it won't work. In 1v1 pk, chances of having a target to AOE off of are pretty low. In group pk, chances are much better.

    However, as was mentioned earlier in the thread, if you start channeling a spell with the sin as target, and then they stealth, it seems to still hit them. Killed a sin in group pk last night doing this 2 or so times. Started channeling, he stealthed, finished the channel/cast animation, he unstealthed and was dead.
    Of course, there's plenty of ways for sins to survive, but it's possible to kill them that way.

    Yeah must suck since endgame wizards with +30 attack blessings are so weak in pvp b:sweat

    Sin negates range advantage with shadow teleport. (35 meter range)
    (unless the archer goes and gets a +range bow...and that means the archer can only get like 1 shot off before the sin just teleports.)
    :/
    or...the sin will just stay stealthed and pop up right next to the archer.

    but archer gets more stuff to survive, their 59 skill with the huge wings animation which prevents stuns as well, not to mention their LA so a naturally higher p def compared to arcanes(unless the arcane CS or farmed garnets) and even then there is that natural HP refine advantage and the vit advantage(more archers socket vit stones)

    and archers have their stun too vs wizards seal.

    Roll a BM. Use 3 str, 2 dex build. Hit lvl 100. Go Demon. Get 4.0 aps base. Use restate note to get minimum str for axes and minimum dex for fist. Take all leftover points and put in vit.


    Now, even if a sin crits. . . they can't win. The moment their short **** stuns wear off, you roar (Stun for 6 loooong seconds), switch to fist, demon spark, and win.



    Ta-da new classes aren't OP.....except for the one sin that has warsoul <.<

    too bad reroling a bm would eventually lead to joining the "QQ cuz i cant reach my enemy" group lol. and Bms in TW is kinda sad, all they do is at most stun, HF and maybe braamble rage. But to get in range, they need to use their aerogear, movement buff and most of the time, they would die.

    and the worst part? sins can still stealth away if they pick the wrong fight. bm is not really better than wizards(like the OP), considering OP has better chance of killing the sin than a BM (OP 1 shot crit gush anyone?)
