Hey guys, just heard about this game, installing it now. I'm dissapointed to read all this stuff about assasins though. Are they REALLY that overpowered? There's no "see invisibility" spell, that allows you to detect stealth? Can a stealthed assasin see another stealthed assasin? I'm hoping this class isn't as broken as it sounds, was really lookin forward to this

    sins can see other sins lower then themselves. yes some sins will roll you. these are usually the top geared sins though with like +10/12 zerk daggers. for most sins, it really jsut relies on skills. in open pk i can come out on top from a stealthed sin gank most of the time. most people are going to give you the old "if you ad the force stealth and still have ad blablabla" stuff but really, how many sins even do that? lol anyways hope you like it here. feel bad for new players who didnt get to enjoy the old days though Q_Q

    The thing about sins is, even if they have significantly less skill, or worse gear than you, they'll still be able to compete with you and give you a hard time. It's not like what the above poster said that the only problem are the ones with +10/12 zerk daggers, it's that they can be just as good if not better than another class with half the skill and less gear expense.

    Sins are a pain due to:

    1. Almost always getting the 1st hit, due to stealth. While there is a detection item, it is fairly expensive & will only help you see the sin if you are same lvl or higher lvl than them; furthermore, your apos will be in cooldown for a few minutes.

    2. Sins have a variety of very useful skills that prevent you from getting 1 shot; chance to evade dmg or debuffs, this gives enough time even if you fail to kill the other person to force bk stealth & sit wait for cooldowns... Which is cheap, but I see many sins do this...

    3. Sins have a bunch of skills that help increase "chi" or energy or whatever you want to call it, that allows them to quickly "charge up" & use the good skills or stronger attacks.

    Yes sins are that OP.

    Yes most players that roll sin are 1/2 tarded.

    No, go play another game to be competitive here you need about 1-2k us dollars or a lot of time merchanting or farming otherwise someone with rank 9 (or any sin ever) will just faceroll you.

    lol @ this^

    yesterday a +12 r9 sin hit me for 4.5k. subsea then 16.5k zerk crit immediately after standing on barb, completely avoided charm tick -.-


    The truth is sins dont even need to try to win, they dont need to strategise, its easy for them compared to other classes, theres a certain level of gear they get to when 100+ that makes them the faceroll class, they are always in control of the pace of the fight with ease.

    Stealth is OP, it can be activated way too often, lasts infinitely, so one could be waiting ten minutes for a sin thats standing right next to them, and they could just toy with the opponent hiding in the shadows.

    Sins have the highest damage output of any class too, daggers are the strongest speed weapon in pwi, especially Rank 9 daggs that can go up to 4 attacks per second with quadruple damage procs (zerk-crits), sparked this can result in 100k physical attack output? "technically".


    As a barb, my main stun is 50% chance sage mighty swing.
    I also have a 1 second aoe stun called untamed wrath (tbh only useful to knock sins out of stealth providing I have a target).
    Ancestral rage 8 second immobolise with 5 minute cooldown.
    and Occult ice (genie skill that anyone can get).
    My strengths are high hp and physical defence in tiger and some nice damage spikes at SLOW(-key word) attack speeds with my R9 axe.


    Sins have like 50%-60% chance to avoid all debuffs so you cant keep them in place, and they have 5 different types of chainable stuns that are all incredibly effecient, accurate and effective, that rarely fail them and last long, with short cooldowns.



    The only way to play badly as a sin is if you break both your hands and your face and have to play pwi with your backside.



    The main problem is that sins can keep all other clases locked, other classes have a much harder time doing this, and at the highest levels of gear, the sin beats all easily apart from their fishy allies the psys.


    Sin is designed to finish a fight as quickly as possible, rather than work long term, they dont fight hard for a fatal killing blow an opportunity that should be hard to get to, instead they instantaniously use the most basic method of attack (automatic) to penetrate any defence and rip anything to shreds in seconds with next to no real effort.


    Its broken, like the class is on cheat codes.
