RA for Assasin

[Shadster]

for a assasin class in NF those that have played gorre which i can not get on what are the best realm abilities you have witnessed so far

i will be rr5 by time it comes live and wondering what to spend me points on

i keep hearing about MOS , VANISH been the main Ra to get but would like some ideas from high rr stealthers who have tryed gorre and can gif a bit of good advice to some of the people who can not get on gorre to test um


Thz

P.s Please do not turn this into a whine

 

[Foadon]

vanish = get away RA, but u need it at pretty high lvl if u want to get out safely, iv found some SBs 2 seconds after they vanished xd so u need more then lvl1 or high mos
mos is pretty much essential aswell, mos3 seems best allround spending, cant be detected by normal classes
viper seems cool, only for high rr that can afford i reckon, but viper 3 is fun in gorre atleast xd

 

[Shanaia]

The Warrior is a finesse class.You HAVE to be able to effectively use your offensive & defensive sides together in harmony to reach your full potential.If you lack finesse & patience and just wanna spam mjollnir and nukes while easymodeBGing, then you're better off rolling a Thane.

Been looking at RA abd come up with @rr5 i was thinking of getting

Vanish no2
MOS 3
MOP2
Aug Strengh 2
Aug Dex 2

which leaves 3 points and when rr5L2 will get purge 1

But not tested Vanish or MOS so not sure but got told Vanish 1 is very poor

* Vanish - either lvl1 or 3 ... 2 is wasted.

if you need to get away from stealthers, use an SL item and Vanish afterwards.
Otherwise it's gonna be easy to find you again long before the disarm effect wears off.
And Vanish1 should be enough to loose those pets following you.

* Viper - all or nothing

if you got enough Envenom to get Lifebane, get Viper3, put Lifebane on both weapons (and a debuff on a third) for some major frontloading.
depending on resists, this should be good for ~200-300dmg extra damage on first hit.

MoS3 will most likely be a must... tho I guess during the first days, there'll be some Alb groups with a MoS5 Scout speeding around.

MoP get's really nice at 3+

otherwise, focus on a few RAs, better excel at one playing style than being medicore at all of them.
With the current RA system, going past level3 of an ability is a waste, with the new one it'll be quite rewarding to get that high.

 

[Azathrim]

Don't waste your points on Aug Dex as a Shadowblade. Or if you do, you should really just give me the points intead - practically the same effect for you at least.

Shadster is one of those smelly Luwis

I've been trying out both Vanish and Viper on Gorre.

Like Cylian says, either Vanish1 or 3. Vanish2 is just such a weak improvement over 1 it's not worth it.
I'll settle with Vanish1, though speeding away at mach 5 in stealth is was a thrill.

Viper3 is a killer. Viper2 ain't as bad as people make it out to be, but I'm going to want to test it on a "live" server before making my mind up about it since peoples resists on Gorre tend to vary a lot.

Besides that, as you pointed out, MoS is the thing to get no matter what if only for the increased speed it gives.

Only problem i got very low envenom meaning 8 plus 12 or something so i guess its not worth putting in for me

Nah, you want lifebane for that.

 

[Cylian]

try to get atleast the lvl37 Enervating, otherwise you're just hurting yourself.

gorre has sfa on the resists front though and 30rsp out of 40 total is a HUGE investment

First ra id buy, out of anything is purge 2 tbh.

 

[Yeke]

Purge 1 is useless tbh has a delay from when you cast it of about 3 seconds or something purge 2 is good havnt tried purge 3 but feel its a little too many points anyway.

<edit> its actually a 5! second delay.

hmm purge 2 whats timer on purge 2 15 mins ? and whats timer on the current purge 30 mins ? as i not used purge at all but thinking of investing on it with the time been lower on re use

 

[Yeke]

correct on both counts 15m RUT on purge 2 and 30 min on current and purge 1 NF.

Lifebane go off on both weaps - didnt know this could happen

 

[Aoln]

It doesn't stack, but the first tick will go off on both and then the following ticks for the offhand.

 

[xxManiacxx]

Purge2 MoS3 would be the first RAs I would get....

Not like it will matter though because I can bet there will be a MoS5 scout running in speed5 together with some infils popping everyone they see

 

[Dorin]

mos3, mop4, vanish1, purge 1 roxored on infil

mos3 is a must afaik
vanish1 was useful against non assassin classes and pets, guards.
viper is nice, but ppl run with shit body resists so aint sure its that ownage on caped chars (+ns Remedy negates it sooo, only good for shades rly)
augs are ok above lvl 3
purge1... well sooks in 1vs1, prolly getting 2 is a good idea.
mop4 was like ownage tbh
dunno about the rest

 

[behatch]

5 min reuse purge for a sb is a must or any char :X

i tryed mos5 you can escape zergs but then i am hoping there wont be zergs like there are in df :< altho its the most fun ever )

vanish 1 is enough...if someone use vanish 3 or whatever on me id just pop SL...

the way ra's are used will be a lot different than gorre though....
