Assassins lvl 37 - 40 ~ Rough time or what?

[ERROR]

<div></div>Hey, I'm a lvl 39 Assasin on Oasis server. I was doing some sweet dps and high hits up untill I hit lvl 37 and got my upgrades to Assasins blade and Ebon Blade. My high hit for Assasins Blade at Adept I was <span class="capitalize"><span class="field_data_large"> 1,374 and I almost always hit over 1k Condemning Blade at Adept I hasn't yet hit for over 1k and usualy averages around 700 - 800. Whats up with that? I am still debuffing mobs before my high's as I always have. Will this get better after lvl 40 or what? Right now I feel like I'm totaly useless next to tanks or casters, where just a few lvl's ago I was destroying most other classes at my lvl. I hope some higher lvl assasin has a few kind words to share. </span></span><div></div><p>Message Edited by ERROR on <span class=date_text>04-16-2005</span> <span class=time_text>03:15 AM</span>

<P>i cant imagine what could be wrong <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> are you using appropriate poison? Have any procs on weapons? And did you actually parse lately to come to these conclusions that youre useless? <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> If it really is bad.. I dunno, wait till lv41 to get both Murderous Focus and MV, maybe that'll put you back on top <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />. </P> <P>/wave</P>

I had that same problem at first with condeming blade adept 3. Wait 1 or 2 levels and the damge will get much better as you get better weapons, and you "grow" into the combat art.

<DIV>I hade also the same problem, i did my highest hit at lvl 37, then it took me until lvl 42-43 until i broke that record. When i bought Adept 3 around lvl 44 in condemning blade it was like a rocket in the sky. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></DIV>

The level 30 training skill does generally better damage than Condemning Blade up into the low 40's until CB turns yellow or so.  It's a big letdown at first, I know, but once you get over the hump at 40-42ish, it gets alot better.

Every single skill you get is like this. At orange you won't be able to use it to its fullest potenital but once it goes to Yellow and then White the damage will really start to kick in. Keep examining the spell as you gain levels, you will see that the damage actually increases untill it goes blue i think. <div></div>

Condemning was pretty sad for me until I hit 43 the other day, at which point I posted 3 hits in a row of 1600+ with the highest at 1900 even.

Yeah, your Assassination skill is on the low-end of some high-end skills.  Stick with Elaa's until 43.8 and then switch to CB.  Elaa's has a shorter timer so it's better for exp grindin till level 44.6 (where I'm at now) IMO.  CB is great for Named mobs though that your group may have a chance of dying to. <div></div>
