Desert of Flames : What would be good new skills for us ?

[Lo]

<div></div>Feel free to add your ideas - A new out of fight sneak, faster than the actual that is really [Removed for Content] compared to caster invis or ranger sneak - More stifles or interrupt skills that land on epic targets - Some buffs ( why not a group DPS boost ? ) - Another good high dmg bow skill - Upgrade of pathfinding - Better stacking with other assassins -  a better snare than moor <div></div><p>Message Edited by Lolo on <span class=date_text>05-24-2005</span> <span class=time_text>09:02 PM</span>

a death touch vs. orcs ! <div></div>

[Kven]

<DIV>heh Sumanye.</DIV>

[Vuron]

<P>Stacking with other assassins should be fixed well before the expansion.  I'd like to see our stifles, roots, etc. be treated a little different when fighting epics and at least allow the damage part to proc even if the other part fails.</P> <P>As for an addition... I'd love to have a self Strength buff.</P> <P> </P>

[Vladdax]

I'd like to see a targettable bow shot, head for high dmg, chest for dot, arms for slow etc. And some nice enchanted arrows would be cool too <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

[Graton]

i don't want any group buffs at all. i want assassin's to be a pure personal dps class, that's why i chose it, that's how i'd like it to stay but a self strength buff is a brilliant idea. as for stacking, this isn't really an expansion issue so much as something that just needs to be changed. the dmg portion of skills needs to be separated from the debuff / stifle / stun / root , etc. part of them. a full speed stealth that uses out of combat normal speed would be great also. expansion aside i'd like to see the lvl 16/30/44 skills replaced with a single line of short refresh frontal attack. frankly blade flurry , makeshift weapon & cripple are all pretty disappointing. i also think we need a 3rd aoe line added to our arsenal, one which doesn't require stealth preferably. <div></div>

[Putka]

I want CAs that have a chance of critical hit for double damage <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />, a bow DD AE attack and of course like everyone else, I want high speed sneaking. I still think assassins should be the masters of this <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<div></div>Strength selfbuff: Lethal Resolve lvl32.6: Increases parry, defense, and strength, while reducing attack speed. or its upgrade Creeping Impetus granted it takes away attackspeed but when you are hasted with Slayer's ring, honed reflexes, and Bleeder's Talent (and its upgrade Merciless Villainy) you are already capped at highest possible attack speed, the hit for atkspd is not noticable unless you are using very long delay weapons. High Speed Stealth Disappear lvl 50 :  An out of combat stealth, it also increases your movement rate. lvl 47 Assassin <span class="serverdown">Antonia Bayle server edit: Flowing Black silk sash also for haste buff </span><div></div><p>Message Edited by Neribus on <span class=date_text>05-26-2005</span> <span class=time_text>09:31 AM</span>

[Vladdax]

Creeping impetus is really short, need to hit it about 20 times over a long figh, plus the str boost is less than a doll or even food <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> I think people were thinking more a larger 15 min buff like villany. An upgrade to villany that does + 40 agi, +40 str and haste would be nice <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Dissapear - still got a 16% move speed penalty <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> <div></div>

[Quicks]

An assassinate ability worth a [expletive ninja'd by Faarbot], lower timer instant kill ... once every 30 min, or better yet once every 15 minutes. Buffs that I dont have to click every 5 minutes that last for longer then 30 seconds. What good are these skills anyways. <div></div>

<P>To those that are bashing Thanos:</P> <P> </P> <P>We should not encourage him to quit, much like a child doing bad in Math what he needs is encouragement and assistance from those better at playing Assassins so he can learn how to play one correctly.

When I say the assassin class is horrible, I actually mean it. You can raise your hand in class and say I am wrong or say I'm a bleeping idiot. Either way, I could care less. It is the way you react that lets me know how you care or don't care. Sooo... if you want to post kiddie pics then go ahead. Bottom line for me: the assassin class still sucks in comparison to others. </P>
