Lingalol Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) I run into them much more than sorc. They are pretty overpowered at this point and I think everyone's rerolling to them. Oddly enough, They aren't really posted about? Edited February 14, 2012 by Lingalol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vindianajones Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I'm not seeing this at all, and have yet to see anything about them that is overpowered. They're great 1v1 in a hybrid spec and they probably make the best ball carriers in Hutball with enough tank points, but overpowered? Nah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMike Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Because 90% of playerbase think they are sorcs, so they come to forum complaining about sorcs, since its kinda popular thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lingalol Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 Maybe my server just has good players. Most assassins crit for 6-7k and are unable to be kited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Darkness assassin toon crit for 20k with her powerful battlemaster glowstick! Oh, wait - it's 2k, n/m =( Actually I've never seen even 5k crit in deception spec with biochem and relics.

Organikal Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I'm at 12% expertise, and most BM assassins crit me for 5-6k with their spin blade w/e thingy. So 6-7k turned into 5-6k... fibber alert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilpingu Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Maybe my server just has good players. Most assassins crit for 6-7k and are unable to be kited. All aboard the unsubstantiated claims boat! I love my level 1 Jedi Assassin in the 50 bracket. He dual-wields double-sabers and can kill a yak at 500 paces by force-projecting his fingernail clippings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varcan Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The only thing that comes close to that is their finishing strike. While it crits for 5k+, it never does that much dmg because you're typically at very low health when they use it. Meaning it normally does about 2-3k of actual dmg. And yeah, they can hit for 4k+, but not with the regularity you see on fraps montages where it's just one Force Potency string after another with a adrenal up...

nodq Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) You sir have no expertise. Or you are fibbing 670 exp operative here... having 75% HP a shadow dropped me to 0% in 2 GCDs. Thats a fact. Dunno if its a bug or smth, but since some days they can do this to me. But unfortunatly we have no combat log to see what hits that hard. so, stop beeing ignorant or blinkered here, thanks.

Oddly enough, They aren't really posted about? So you feel that you meet some classes more than others and thus you think theyre overpowered. Sounds smart. To the guys criticizing damage dealers doind damage: Lol. You might waste tears about healers healing others, too. Btw: Marauders can crit 5k+ easily too. And yes, there are QQ threads about it already, so no need to start another one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBninjaX Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 The most distinguishing feature of assassins is that dying in pvp is optional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBninjaX Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Why are you guys so eager to marginalize and discredit the OP? So he thought the spinning attack was the heavy hitter, big deal. His observations are still valid, people are rolling a class that can 1v1 well and can escape a majority of losing battles.

A crit Project > crit Force Breach > crit Spinning Strike can do this. 3GCD w/ 3rd being instacast(so 3.1 secs) I probably got 2-4 chains off like this a warzone on my Infiltration Shadow. Since Force Potency increases their crit odds, they really only need Spinning Stike to proc a crit. But you have to be a Sorc/Agent who didn't pop shield w/ expertise that high for this to happen typically. Otherwise, you wouldn't be at < 30% after the first 2 hits. That or your health was prob closer to 60%, than 75%... Edited February 14, 2012 by Varcan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanhazz Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 A crit that high sounds like a pocket sniper was about waiting on your concentration to focus on the melee, and then he/she zapped the crap out of you. NEVER seen 6k crit on anything buy a sniper, on stims, buffed to the max and using a super combo. You've been sniped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaex Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Everyone plays shadows and assassins because Darth Maul was ****** and had a double saber staff. Sin/Shadow has double saber staff or w.e so everyone plays the class. I know this sounds strange but some people don't roll classes just because they need to be OPed to win in pvp. I encourage the op to roll a sin or shadow and see how it's probably bottom wrung on the ladder as far as class overpoweredness is concerned. People might say sniper, but good snipers that know their rotations and how to que burst are ridiculous if left unchecked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
