Last Character Slot - Assassin/Swash/Brig?

[Dragonlor]

<div></div><div>Since there is no longer a rogue/pred forum, I posted this on the spells, abilities, comabt arts forum and was told I would be better off posting it on a class board...so here goes.  I am down to my last character slot and I was trying to decide between these three classes.   As background my other characters are: Paladin, Ranger, Wizard, Conjurer, and Zerker.  I was wondering if these classes (assassin/swash/brig) play decidely different from each other.  I have done some very low level experiements on test and so far the classes seem quite similar for the most part (sneak, attack from back/side so to speak...assassins seemed to kill a bit quicker and get hurt a bit more at times).  Does this hold true at higher levels?  I am looking for a good stealth class that can melee (I have a ranger for the distance stuff) with some survivability and a variety of tactics is always good as well.  Also, RP fodder is always good but all three classes seem to offer that. Thanks!</div><p>Message Edited by Dragonlord1 on <span class="date_text">01-29-2006</span><span class="time_text">03:54 PM</span></p>

swash of course, or if u want more dmg and want to betray or start evil choose an assasin.  unless u like the bow thing than go ranger but I like to meet my kill before I wack em, not shoot him with 5 arrow shafts then walk up and rob him hahaha. jk but thats really how it is.<div></div>

<div>Brigand. Less chance at being nerfed.</div>

<div>They're gonna split the swash skills and scrap the class. Half goes Brigand the other half goes to Assassins. Brig or Assassin, it is a win-win situation.</div>

<div></div>How about just merging Brigands into Swashbucklers for one class and add the AOE avoid. I don't care if they give the ONE class the name brigand either.
