What should i know? (Newbie)

[nturk]

<div></div>I've played MMO's for quite some time but never played a stealther. Assassin seems fun.- I figured that there are 3 different poison types... Are these basically buffs that can proc and will be consume when they have procced enough? Like 100 times?- I read that i should use Medium Armor since AC > Avoidance. Correct?- Should i always use two weapons or should i also have a shield?- What weapon speeds should i have? Two as fast as possible (daggers), slow mainhand and quick offhand ?- Any post with useful Assassin macros?- What stats to go for? Does AGI give me Power's? STR affects meleedamage right? How to balance these two?- Any tips/tricks/tactics that i should know? I figured the CheapShot -> Shrouded -> Stealth attack combo out while exping at the newbie island.- Any good assassin guides i should read?- What tradeskill? I was thinking Weaponsmith so i could create own weapons, however woul Alchemist be good for poisons? Or maybe Jeweler for added equipment<div></div><p>Message Edited by nturkki on <span class="date_text">02-21-2006</span><span class="time_text">10:16 AM</span></p>

Like 100 times?<font color="#000099">Usually a damage poison lasts 200charges...then there are buff ones that last 30mins I think.</font>- I read that i should use Medium Armor since AC > Avoidance. Correct?<font color="#0000ff">In some cases yes, but only if you are soloing you should go MA and try to get alot of miti. But if you are in groups go for any peices of armor that can give you stats.</font>- Should i always use two weapons or should i also have a shield?<font color="#0000cc">Duel weild, sheilds if you want to solo, may help raise avoid, but using 2 weps deals out more dmg then using a 1H with a sheild.</font>- What weapon speeds should i have? Two as fast as possible (daggers), slow mainhand and quick offhand ?<font color="#0000cc">Quick weapons now because slow weapon spead doesn't effect proc rate. I would go with a dagger in primary and a leafblade in secondary, but thats my style, experiment with that you like.</font>- Any post with useful Assassin macros?<font color="#0000cc">Not that I know of, maybe if you raid the unequiped all macro</font>- What stats to go for? Does AGI give me Power's? STR affects meleedamage right? How to balance these two?<font color="#0000cc">Agi gives power/avoidence, sadly our main attribute. Str affects attack, and Combat Art Damage. Since we get so much agi from our buffs, the dps/agi buff, and our def stance I can raise my agi around 140 at master skills. So i usually go for more strength items/armor. You can use potions if you want also...if you have the money. Buy 2 str rings, 2 str dolls then you can be decently balanced.</font>- Any tips/tricks/tactics that i should know? I figured the CheapShot -> Shrouded -> Stealth attack combo out while exping at the newbie island.<font color="#0000cc">Yea thats the best combo, still use today but cheap shot kinda was nerfed.</font>- Any good assassin guides i should read?<font color="#0000cc">Ehh, forums is what I use, plus just kinda learned by myself...explains why i suck so much...j/k</font>- What tradeskill? I was thinking Weaponsmith so i could create own weapons, however woul Alchemist be good for poisons? Or maybe Jeweler for added equipment<font color="#000099">Alchy, Woodworker(arrows), Jewler(skills), Weaponsmith(weps of course) is what I would do...but I chose carpenter lol..</font></p><div></div><p>Message Edited by nturkki on <span class="date_text">02-21-2006</span><span class="time_text">10:16 AM</span></p><hr></blockquote>
