How are the assasins fairing in NF

[censi]

After a month or so of all the changes how are the assasins getting on?

Do you feel the class is gimped NF? What changes would you implement to make things better for your class?

Certainly see a lot less assasins kicking around now, but those I do come accross still hit like trucks generally and will drop me fast if I dont use active RA's or ML's.

having fun with minstrel. especially roaming around enemy keeptakes, and try to get someone to follow you or cutting reinforcement lines etc. dunno if you want to count minstrel as a assasin tho.

for a bad thing 1vs1 are too often about who uses his "I win" ability 1st nowadays

 

[Jaem-]

Assasins hmm, well no matter what RR they are, some seem to die so easy, some own me just as easy.

Find their dmg output pretty decent, vanish kind of nice, altho crap vs high MoS stealthers.

I have tried playing my SB in NF, but seemed just about every archer had MoS4-5 and could load critshot + another into me before I had time to get to them. :|

Was the range on assassin Sh pre nf a good thing, maybe not. But to me a mos4 hunter it still feels wrong every time I see an assassin first whilst stealthed. They never quite get it right do they :<

Still remeber the days pre Ra's when stealth levels really did matter and tracking archers "in stealth" to get the Pa in was a much harder challenge then what it was now. I would give all my plats to turn back the daoc clock, was such good fun back then.... You could count the number of different class L50's on one hand

 

[Konah]

yeh mos is broke, no assasin will ever PA my scout... kinda takes the piss really. but on the other hand..

PAYBACKKKK1!

 

[Tiki]

Nice to see mincers through the mist tho, that feels good just not assassin classes

 

[Kagato]

Stealth zerg and Vanish, you either win or escape. their not that hard done by.

 

[vintervargen]

sc debuff is OP, but it on 15 min timer pls.

 

[censi]

Vanish isnt much use V mos 3 or greater though.

Id like to see vanish put the assasin out of range of that so they can use the ability.

 

[Tiki]

tbh tho most of the good assassins(mallice+battler slash infils) chunk through my 2xxx hp with such speed im not sure I like the idea of them getting the jump on me again......silly damage wiv relics ;>

 

[Edaemos]

Some assasins drop like a fly, some like urizen hit like a truck and kill me fast.

For one hitting like a truck, he sure plays his inf alot more....

 

[Ilum]

they are wanking about like usual playing their fucked up chars

 

[Jergiot]

archer mos advantage needs to go, but its not as bad as SH was. remember mos still cost alot of points for an archer that wants the big advantage.

atm its suicidal to go inside keeps, i fail to see the logic behind assassin guards, specially since a lvl 10 keep only have 2 climbspots. remove those guards, add more climbspots ffs :|. whats the point in having climbwall if u gonna insta-die soon as u climb anyways.

oh and put a time limit on how long mid stealthers are allowed to stay on bled bridge.....

 

[Vodkafairy]

its nearly impossible to solo for me, so i pretty much retired my ns. im so close ro rr7 but i can't force myself to go through the hell that is stealtherwars currently

 

[GrIrcSpammer]

assasins r a bit imbalanced .... infils r r0xstar as always ... ns's are balanced as always (we need s/c immunity timer so that they dont reapply the poisons after we purge ) shadowblades need love and u need to have a rox0r template and always with haste/spec af to be able to compete ... but u always know a good high rr infil will chip chop ur ass . I dont blame the zerg ppl that dont wanna get zerged know ehere to go ... keep sieges are not part of my program anyway i just want the dmg to be a bit more balanced

 

[Stinkies]

MoS is fine. To get MoS4 or higher, you have to spend 20 rp's.
Unless you are RR10, it actually means you have to give up something.
And even if MoS was the most overpowered thing ever, assasins deserve to suffer a bit for a while.

 

[Salamurhaaja]

NF made me so angry that I deleted my chars, even it wasn't my plan to end this game.
Good thing is that I don't miss that damn game a bit.

 

[Nalistah]

I think its better enviroment for assassin now, than pre NF.
Its several docks, its keeps, its towers, routes to towers/keeps/docks etc etc.. not just the regural mtk->mmg->amg->atk that it was in old frontiers. Its a new RvR-area every time depending on how the War Map looks...

Im the type that dont like to roam around and looking for people (im walking so slow in stealth ).. I like when they come to me.. so yeah, You can call me a camper .. but i think its fun, and I can be semi-afk and alt+tabbing from time to time.. reading news/FH osv

 

[Nalistah]

come back Salamurhaaja... you are the best SB ever walked the earth of excal ;(
its a shame u left!

 

[UriZeN]

i would like 2 things
1: my detect hidden to work as intented
2: my my moa and my dr back since it was the only ras that benefited sbs slightly more than other assasins

For one hitting like a truck, he sure plays his inf alot more....

and u would suggest me joining up with the mid fest at bridge everyday?
no thnx i prefer to fight than leech

Minstrel is not an assassin

Still you add with your OP inf. and well i wouldnt really call it fighting ...just admit it, you like the OP feel and nothing wrong with that.

:kissit:

Still like playing assassin myself. Sometimes solo and most of the time duo or trio with scout friends of mine. And in this zerg fest you can have some interesting fights. And yes bow-classes seem to go for MoS 4 before anything else it seems, but still got an occasional PA in but using BS2 most of the times coz a lot of people don't look back.

And vanish is nice, at least it was at lvl 2 (don't have it anymore now). Sprinting in stealth for 2 sec get's you pretty far I have to say and think it's just out of range of SL too. And like said before those npc assassins are just stupid. When they are up it's impossible to climb into a keep to do what an assassin suppose to do.

 

[Miho]

For me the impression from this tread is that the only assassins still playing are high RR with a template that more casual player can only dream of or/and zergers. Of course I may be wrong.

I just don't get what idea is to play assassin who can't hide ..... yeah I know only archers can see them a mile away .... luckily only around every second enemy out there seems to be an archer

Anyway good luck for everyone out there, hopefully you even sometimes get a chance to be a hunter instead of hunted.

 

[Jimmi]

I really really hate NF and everything that it stands for. Remove the keeps and towers, and maybe it would be just a little fun. Anyways, I haven't played my inf for real for months. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of going to brynja bridge, and whenever I get a fight I get fg's steamrolling me or 5000 hunters adding. I am so sick of never being able to get some decent solo fights.

So yeah, F*** NF.

I rox as usual.
