yer it boils down to how you define skill....
there is a tiny amount of skill in terms of co-ordination, timing...
There is a massive amount of "skill" you could define to daoc knowledge.. knowning your class, knowning your opponent. the what to use and when to use it I guess.. strictly speaking isnt skill but its what defines strong players from weak...
setup is also very very important... avoiding fixed weapons, trying to stay diverse as opposed to specialised in terms of spec and temp and RA's.
For example you could pack PD5 mos5 to try and aid yourself in stealth dick swinging battles but it does nothing for you versus random caster etc..
The aim is to put a toon out there that is generally competative and has a chance versus most things...
certainly from my archer experience, I would say 90% of assasins I came up against were poor because they never bothered to reapply poisons after purge. (that pretty much = dead assasin) It would then be those assasins complaining about OP archers (nerf PD, side stun, studded omg etc) when the reality is an assasin rapes an archer in melee big style... always has done (save the 2 min FZ era really)
