You know nothing about my play style and how I fare. I'm trying to understand this class and why it's near impossible to do anything against them.

savionen Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) They can't heal!..............................Others. But seriously. I don't think their damage is too powerful. I see random videos of 4x 2k Force Lightning ticks but I've never been hit for close to that. All Assassin-tank damage is mitigated by armor, too. I don't think they have a single attack that is elemental/internal in 31/0/10. Edited March 5, 2012 by savionen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhmyface Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Nope, no reason at all. You should roll one. I bet you'll be in for a rude awakening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drduncan Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 ***/shadow are really cool and fun, but if you're deep in tank to get the pull you're damage isn't very great...its good but dont think they are bursty like an Op with the defense of a tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to understand this class and why it's near impossible to do anything against them. Well, we do know that you are complaining about a pretty balanced class. That sort of leads us to thinking that it's more of a skill issue then a balance issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapto Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 The 31/0/10 spec needs a very good look at by the devs as it offers one of the largest amount of utilities in a spec with great mitigation and very good damage. At the moment if you want to play the most versatile class, no there is no reason to roll any other class, but things change so go ahead and roll the FoTM.

When wearing dps gear in tank spec yes we do decent damage but we still die pretty quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePoomz Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 When wearing dps gear in tank spec yes we do decent damage but we still die pretty quick. In what situation do you die "really quick". What armor do you have? Every good Sin I've faced or seen in action has great survivability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cycao Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Nope, no reason at all. You should roll one. I bet you'll be in for a rude awakening. Yeah i have been playing this spec since early access. I know it like the back of my hand. When i go up against a respec/re-roll i laugh. Its funny because there really has not been alot of talk about this class being OP until recently. I think it flew under the radar and when they changed/killed the hybrid spec players decided to go with darkness. It is a great 1v1 class but this is not a 1v1 game. If i go up against any class that knows what they are doing (I am not saying that you dont) I dont expect to "face roll" them.

exphryl Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) Assassin-tank is like... a hard-counter to a Gunslinger. I eat them as a Vanguard. You go up against some terrible Assassins then. They are our most direct counter, more so then Maras. (Course if we had a way to interrupt the force lightning heal it would completely the opposite) Edited March 5, 2012 by exphryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardya Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Pull. Push. Fast Run. Vanish. Stealth. Insane DPS. Ability to Tank. Damage Immunity. Am I missing something? Someone tell me why this class isn't absurd. Are you familiar with AC's. If you see one shadow tanking and another doing DPS they may not be able to do both even though they all look alike. What's Push? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
