    Assassins be fine, in fact they be ridiculously good at surviving.
    The problem be that YOU suck.
    b:surrender
    sowwys, tis true.

    ^ Approved by a lvl 100 assassin

    LOL
    but then again like everyone else said lvl 3x is nothing, lvl 59+ is where you get most of your most useful skills for building chi & having literally endless 2x sparks to where you will out DD every & any other class in the game =)
    & bloodpaint + endless 2x spark = great hp recovery, therefore you wouldn't need to pot much or at all during quests or w/e you're doing

    End of. I have a lvl 23 barb nd the only thing he can do is miss. MISS MISS MISS MISS MISS. A wise barb once told me, either way for a barb, a battle never ends before 5 minutes. Oh how true. Barb is basically an axes BM with no misty and... no axes. Everyone says "oh yeah, Barb pwnz." NO effing way. Never. They say "once u get bloodbath, everythings all better". I saw a Barb buffing bloodbath once, nd he still missed. How useful. BTW i'm talking about PvE here, so don't go on about how barbs r amazng at tanking PvP, i know that, but that doesnt help a barb lvl up much or anything like that if you keep on missing.

    ROFL


    good comeback

    if ur barb was missing that often u really shouldve put a tad bit more dex into ur build ( i prefer 3/1/1 over 3/1/1-4/1)...my barb when he was 3X still missed more then i liked but it wasnt that bad and with cleric buffs i never even saw my health drain


    back on subject: sins remind me of BM's and really do shine more the later in game u get...some classes simply take patience to play if u want a immediate **** class then i suggest veno/psy for early level pve pwning or archer for mid level pve pwning

    the rest take time but each has their good points

    Unfortunately, things like that happen quite often on these forums. You'd think that the fact that he quoted OP's post and followed the exact same format (with a few words here and there changed to apply to barbs) would be one hell of a clue.

    You'd think so. When I saw it, I laughed in approval.


    Then I came back and saw the responses. Are people really just this stupid or ignorant nowadays?

    Not really. It's just that common sense is somewhat lacking (intelligence does not correlate to possession of common sense). It makes phrases such as '/sarcasm' necessary when posting on an open forum since subtle, strong, and obvious hints don't work.

    well sir if you think assassins suck in pve that's just too bad.

    I personally think they are the sex in pve with rising dragon, tackling, and inner harmony
    cause you can just heal with demon/sage spark, and suck more hp with the increased attack you get from it

    Sins are a great class, only times i really died was when i was drunk or wasn't paying attention to my hp. try sticking with it through more lvls before you decide. shadow teleport + headhunt = pwnedb:cute

    obvious point? not really everybody who read the thread is experienced in pw, easily can think (example) barb miss allways and dont think barb could be nice in aoe grind later or also can get 5-6k accurancy with different build and can use fist with higher hp from refines and solo few boss with interval gear.
    (its isnt sin vs barb post, but few class will be better in time (barb, archer), few allways was good (psy, wizz)).
    Your barb ever low on chi?
    not really if i do aoe ty to Beastial Rage XD but annoying the melee range and only 1 skill is ranged, and only zerk+crit,3rd spark+crit, armageddon hurt, autoattack or simple skill spam dont really deadly and no stun lock.
    instead this sin got less hp, def but more deadly and suprise attack the biggest advantage in sin with crit+dmg.

    Level your fish. It gets better after the initial squishiness. Barbs have their initial miss-fest too :D

    Just know: Out of all the classes, sins got chi. We have a lot of chi. Our skills reek of chi. We bleed chi. We pee it. Your barb ever low on chi? Be a sin and get it past level 80. Then you too, can have chi orgies anytime, anywhere; standing still, in the air, in the bedroom, or simply standing still in the air in the bedroom.

    This is OP's post:
    End of. I have a lvl 33 sin nd the only thing he can do is die. DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE. A wise sin once told me, either way for an assassin, a battle never lasts longer than 15 seconds. Oh how true. Assassin is basically a hand to hand cleric. Everyone says "oh yeah, assassin is the best class ever." No effing way. Never. They say "once u get bloodpaint, everythings all better." my sin once got buffed with bloodpaint, nd he only recovered 5 hp per attack. How useful. BTW im talking about PvE here, so don't go on about how sins r amazing at PvP, i know that, but that doesnt help a sin lvl up much or anything like that.

    Tell me what u guys think.

    Later I found out I was playing my sin like a bm, imagine how much worse Id be if I was playing him like a real tank?

    When I came to Raging Tide I Started lvling a barb then because I couldn't stand not trying out my assassin I started lvling my assassin and I had no problem adapting.

    Ok so, after 2.5 days of playing an Assassin and getting to 32, here's what I found out:

    1. Sins take a lot of damage
    Well, isn't that obvious, since they are LA and melee range.

    2. Sins need lots of potting
    Well, pure dex, LA and melee range kinda does that.

    3. Sins use more mana than Archers
    Well, considering that Archers use about 2 skills at all, this is no wonder. And besides, most of the sin skills are actually pretty epic.

    4. Sins have bucketloads of chi
    Well, high attacks/second rate with low chi usage for now, so I was expecting this. I'm also expecting it to be even more ridiculous in the future with skills like Inner Harmony and Rising Dragon Strike.

    5. Life Powder is epic
    This is so very, very true.

    And yes, considering that I got my sin to level 32 without much effort in 2.5 days, I'd say the opinion of a level 30er isn't really meaningful.
    If you disregard what I say because of who I am or because of the contents of what I said, you are a fool.

    Everyone wants to be different, but when you're different you wish you were normal.

    For lower levels,yes. But you'll hardly need pots at all later on. At this level, I walk around with like 5 level 60 MP pots if I'm doing PvE.
