PanzerKpw Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Most people think the Sith Assassin is a Rogue type of character, but is it really?I still can't really decide on what class to play, but doesn't the Assassin play like a hybrid melee/Force user with imbued weapons etc.? I'm not too fond on stealth really, I wish to play something like what they call in WoW an enhancement shaman. Imbueing weapons and occassionally throw in a Force ability.

Invitcted Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Darkness is tankingDeception plays like an enhance shammy and is the tree most reliant on stealthMadness plays like a spell sword archetype like a cross between enhance and an unholy dk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PanzerKpw Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 Thanks, so is Madness viable as PvE spec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invitcted Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Not going to sugar coat it before level 20 madness flatout sucks for everything but after you get Death field madness begins to take off. It's not an obvious pvp spec like the rage tree (sith warrior) for example but it has some pvp talents. But imo yeah madness is perfectly viable for pve.

Tayk Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 From what I can see gameplay wise it looks very familliar to a mutilate rogue. I haven't actually reached level 10 yet but from videos it seems to play the same way. However, I believe Deception does imbue their weapons like the shammy in WoW. So, it's a balance of different classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegamal Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I do see a lot of Rogue aspects to Assassin (not just name, either), but that's the beauty of this game & the skill trees, the possibilities are endless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTFMF Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 If you are looking for an enhancement shammy style of what you have described then a Madness hybrid would be your best option as it does not rely upon stealth as much if at all over Deception. Saying that there are a few abilities that the assassin gets needs to be in stealth to use most of those are WoW Rogue style utilities like a Sap like ability. Madness will be fine as a PvE option.
