Why is leveling a assassin so hard

Dunno much about assasins, arent you supposed to:

-kill them before they kill you
-stun them
-shadow escape if above fails ?

Taking damage is for barbs

b:laugh sins strts shining after u get ur 3rd spark n mostly endgame gears at lower lvl yeah they take a lot of damage b:chuckle

Lol what? Easiest if not second easiest class to level.

Seriously? No mention of permasparking? A level 53 'sin is more than capable of it already.

Just make good use of your skills as an Assassin. Auto-attacking will not pay off till later. Also, you can get daily charms till 60(you can still get them on 60, but it's the last level)

autoattacking is good but if it's questing I usually turn on CotD and skillspam once every few mobs, just to make things a bit more lively and to hit nice big crits.

atm highest recorded hit was on a mob in wraithgate area for 11.6K slipstream strike on my level 68 sin

iirc OP is actually new and doesn't have the ability to afford 4socket TT80 gear lol

Life Powder, Chaos Powder, Orb of Vibrating Light, and Flourish Orb (among other player made apothecary items) make life for especially low level assassins much easier.

Level 53s don't get to do world quest (paperclip for villa), that's a level 70+ daily.

I started a new Sin on Morai server ~3 weeks ago. Started with nothing and now I got something like this: http://pwcalc.com/e994a491e0160dc7
Some of its sharded and refined better then what is shown cause I don't remember exactly what I got in it and I can't get on game right now. On top of that I got ~3 mil coins left after getting that gear.

I see why you feel that Sin's are hard to play right now, you're squishy with low hp and probably pretty bad gear (cause I can't imagine you having a hard time with Dreamchaser gear), but trust me it gets better If you follow the tips already posted by others in this thread you'll have a lot better time even at your level.

Some things I might add (sry if someone ells already said this):

Get Dreamchaser gear if you didn't already. It's starting to be a bit outdated at that lvl but it's still the best over-all you can get in the 50's. Here's the link to redeem site: http://pwi.perfectworld.com/redeem
Codes are: BAP3D6J and K4BPWMH (I hope they are still valid)

Do Bounty Orders from Jolly Old Jones. It's a good extra income for you and money you can spend into better gear/skills. An alternative is to save all your bounty order until lvl 71-80 and do all of them (it's possible since last content update) for max profit.

And the most important thing of all: Do ALL quests. If you have leveled past them still do them. Go back to the lower ones, they will be a lot easier and will give you a lot of coins/EXP.

This is what I've done and you see what I've accomplished with it. It's not great, but it's more then enough for my needs right now. And as an end note, I did not use Dreamchaser or did my Bounty Orders (gonna start digging into my 100+ stack when I hit 71 x.x) so it's more then possible to level with ease without those perks

Oh, and I almost forgot. Get to know the market. Check catshops for low priced item you can re-sell. Do the same with AH. Check out some of the countless merchant guides out there (this is a must read: http://warrenwolfy.wordpress.com/) and start make big money It helps tremendously. Just the other day I found an Axe in a catshop for 800k and turned it around for 3mil. So big money can be made with minimal work

(This is starting to sound like a bragging post, but I'm actually trying to be helpfull xD)

Not true. I was able to pull PV after level 59 on my sin.

What you need: good damage-good bp returns

up to date armor, up to date defenses.

Good situation recognition, fast reaction.

i.e. Use sleep to interrupt a mob about to poison you, keeping up focused mind and wolf emblem, the tackling slash trick--for all mobs; casting mobs do a lot less dps when casting, archer mobs do 50% dmg when frozen in place. By this I mean tackling slash and then teleporting right under it. Mob will be trying to move to hit you the entire duration of the freeze.

Spark liberally. You have near infinite chi. Even if you get hit hard you can simply recover the damage by BP heals

At 53 without dream chaser (which for your ease you really ought to have): http://pwcalc.com/d9e1a91afc0c8905

At 56 make sure you have Cloud Thorn even if your Wep Token quest did not return that mold. It's cheap enough. The heal and purify effect is awesome.

back then when i was lvling didn't had the comfort of pv or any of the modern lvling things
n nether back then ppl had good gears which r available these days for free...
mostly had mob dropped armors n most of the noncsing starters back then had those type of gears b:laugh

im currently level 66 and i already bought level 70 tt weapons and armours but the problem is i cant kill a lower level boss that has 100k hp even though i use potions to heal i take like 800 damage when fighting boss

uum if you are 66 you are obviously not using tt70 weapon/armor. (tt70 armor kinda sucks for the price btw).

in any case, it's normal. bosses are rarely supposed to be soloed and you might even need a proper tank beside a healed (what's the boss' name?)

Most classes need a squad to do those.
