TwistedTony Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I've heard that bioware based the assassin of Maul but is this really true or just a theory? Personally i don't think Maul was an Assassin at all cuz they are of the inquisitor class and they are cunning where as warriors are rage. and when i think of a sith that has rage, i can't think of a sith with more RAGE than maul. I mean the dude out dueled obi wan and qui gon and qui gon was ranked number 3 in the council behind windu. So what you guys think? Was he a marauder or an assassin? im gonna go with a marauder
Iret Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 id say assassin, if he was a marauder, then howd he die??
DrillThrall Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) I'd say that most of the epic NPCs from the movies and Expanded Universe books are multi-class. Edited January 23, 2012 by DrillThrall
ThePirateMD Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 no jedi shadow in the films, sadly. a jedi with stealth skills
DoomFrog Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 The assassin class is based of Darth Maul. Which really means that Darth Maul isn't an assassin, the assassin is trying to be like him. But if anything he is more Inquisitor than Warrior. If you notice, he doesn't actually get angry during the fight, he doesn't lose control. Also he does the little seethe thing when the shields close (then again that skill for the Inquisitor was probably based off that scene).
areto Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 no jedi shadow in the films, sadly. a jedi with stealth skills how about obi wan in new hope?
Tzaz Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 He was based off the Assassin. no, the assassin was based off him. He doesn't resemble any of the classes, because none of them were what anyone in the movies was based on. He would fit in as a Sith Warrior with a double bladed lightsaber. He was more reliant on his combat practices than the force. Sith Warrior = Saber Masater Sith Inquisitor = Force Master This game is completely separated from the movies when it comes to class. They just flung crap together and where it stuck, it stuck.
TwistedTony Posted January 23, 2012 Author Posted January 23, 2012 there were a lot of great points in reading all this and i can def see him being assassin with the "seethe" ability and how he doesn't "lose his cool" but i think he never lost his cool just because he was so damn CONFIDENT. Hell he was over confident, he toyed around with obi-wan when he coulda easily thrown his saber at him when he was hanging on a ledge. I def agree with the whole belief that he isnt an assassin but that the assassin character is BASED off him. Hell if i had to classify him, he'd be a sith warrior assassin. Cuz He had no force powers to speak of lol

Actually the Sith Assassin uses the double bladed saber, whereas sith warriors don't. Sith Inquisitors have 2 ACs, one of which is more melee-oriented.. i.e. the assassin. Plus even sith warriors have force abilities. The Rage tree uses quite a few rage abilities as their key damaging abilities.
Marak Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 The assassin backstab ability is called "Maul" Seethe thing Double-bladed lightsaber More robey armor I'm going with assassin.
Talynsin Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 Darth Maul didn't wear a skirt... (tbh restricting types of lightsabre to different classes was a bad design choice).
bobmcbo Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 how about obi wan in new hope? not sure what you're talking about, unless you mean he just took his robes off, used an in-combat stealth, and creeped on luke for the rest of the trilogy...oh, i get the movies now!
Omascus Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 I'd figure it was pretty obvious to see that Darth Maul inspired the Sith Assassin to have a tanking tree. I mean, go watch that fight between Maul, Obi Wan, and Qui Gon again. He pretty much tanks the both of them until he can thin the herd.
dargor- Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) Who cares, Maul was fodder. Edited January 24, 2012 by dargor-
Ranevan Posted January 24, 2012 Posted January 24, 2012 I agree that IF Maul was a class from TOR, he'd be a Darkness (tank spec) assassin. He was on the defensive during most of the 2 on one and he still dropped one.
Darth-Reaver Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Well imo Darth Maul would be more of a warrior than an Assassin Maul used the Juyo form (marauder) Double bladded saber (Assassin) I really don't like the way this game selects weapons for most classes. So imo the closest thing to Darth Maul in swtor would be a Marauder with a Double bladded saber....... yeah i know never going to happen.
Senul Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 not sure what you're talking about, unless you mean he just took his robes off, used an in-combat stealth, and creeped on luke for the rest of the trilogy...oh, i get the movies now! While hes deactivating the Tractor Beam, he used the force to make himself invisible to the eyes of the stormtroopers walking by.
lpipkin Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 to quote Anakin Skywalker on Obi wan he is as wise as Master Yoda and as powerful as Master Windu . so its settled he is a guardian
Murasakikitsune Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Assassin all the way. The class was designed in his image, and it fits him well. He relies entirely on his own agility and expertise, using no armor whatsoever. He brings the Force and Lightsaber combat together.
