here the story. So i was just clean the house and my mine wondered off a bit and i was thinking about how my assassin changed alot as i leveled, then a thought came to my head........o.o what if he had heavy armor? i am oh so tempted to make an new assassin with heavy armor right now and just thinking about how hard i hit now as a dex sin i can pretty much 1shot people in LA or AA with a sexy crit and on top of that even tho im lvl60 im giving lvl LA and AA a hard time and im a skill spamming sin so the damage reduction can be that bad.........well i think.

So now im curious to know about other people who have tried such build with other classes. I mean i know it can work if done right i mean hell i saw a AA barb on youtube putting down some pwnage in pvp lol so yeah tell how was it for you when you decided to go with a...umm......'abnormal' build on your character or someone else that you know that did it?\

Hoping to hear some good stories XD............but then maybe no one would care about this tread even.oh well jst have to see what happens.

EDIT: I remember seing a HA cleric on the here on the forums id love to hear from her XDsorry forgot you're name btw.

    From what I have heard HA sins really are not that good.

    This has been a very popular discussion on the Assassin's subforum, and through and through each time, no matter what, HA sins weren't as good as LA sins. But, that shouldn't be the only thing that ultimately decides if you want to go through with it or not.

    If you have a HA using class that you can stash gear to, then it's okay to do that. If you have fun with it, then it's worth it. But ultimately in my opinion I don't think it's worth it. And that's speaking from some experience, as well as many discussions on that topic.

    This pretty much sums it up.

    I'd go into detail but... well... that's already been done enough times as is.

    From watching your videos i do see that your a experienced assassin and you know what your talking about and i agree but tbh im thinking about leveling both of them with this dex sin being my main and more serious sin and my HA sin being a the pk troll and just being there for the random lols XD

    This quote seem to imply that you hit hard as a dex sin and it seems that you believe a HA sin would hit harder. That is not the case. While HA will make you more tanky towards physical classes, it does not do as well for magical classes. Barb and BMs are more tanky mainly due to their skills such as Invoke and Magic marrow. The loss in damage is far greater than the defense you would gain.

    A person in my faction made an HA sin to farm TT due to the fact in TT(not sure whether in squad or solo mode) the mobs/bosses use physical attacks and so HA has more pdef than LA, he thinks his sin is pro, but my sin which is 10 lvls lower than his and is LA, and my sin solos TT's much easier than his, mine crits a hell of alot more and hits a heck of alot harder. b:cute

    LOl wow im suprised a HA sin would be able to still do that those kinds of things, i thought their damage would be to low for and they would take to long before dieing and don't worry im gonna have 2 sin so il have best of both worlds.even if HA had nop best lol. (Rysan)

    Why the **** would you use a Physical belt with HA?

    Why would you want an elemental one with junk stats? Or an evasion one, like evasion is going to do THAT much?

    I am a LA/HA all weapon, aps BM. I use p. def ornaments, to make up for the lack of p. def from the LA pieces I wear. Granted, my HP isn't fantastic compared to all HA BM's, but I survive magic a lot better than they do, ijs. Esp. with my demon marrow.

    In all reality, this game is meant for people to have fun, as Deceptipoo said. Everyone is SO focused on having the same build, same gear, same refines, same shards, same everything, its boring as hell. Make fun, funky mixtures, and learn to own it. That's what its all about, right?

    HA sins do much much less damage for pve, but still would be very hard to kill PVP. The game is changing because of NW, so id try it out. Most people think that LA gear gives much more mag defense then HA, but that really isnt true. Most bms have as much/more mag defense then my LA archer, without mag marrow, because of Mdef ornaments. The drop in damage would be great, but if you switch to a pvp survibility Chill of deep build instead of an aps build, would easily make up for it, just practice skill locks and timings

    Its pretty fun. If you've played a regular, HA BM before, it takes some getting used to, knowing what you can/cannot survive.

    I am currently working on gear to swap out my LA pieces when necessary to HA. I think the BM class specifically, it is important to be as flexible as possible.

    You should try it!
