Whats Changed?

[Armill]

<DIV>I stopped playing EQ II for about 8 months but now have decided to come back and start playing, my assassin was 52, so can anyone tell whats changed since than? Have assassins still been getting picked on do I still need to help in the good fight for assassin equality? </DIV>

Ya know you could answer this yourself by browsing the current threads. The cliff notes versionChanges:KoS expansion, max lvl 70New Alnternate Achievment system lets you customize your character....read the numerous threads on this too many details to list.SoE has been "fixing" many things about other classes,  including rangers, and today summoners....whihc put thier DPS in line with intent....which, as far as i can tell, places us, situationally right at the top of the DPS list where we belong.The ranger "fix" was really a proc fix that actually affects everyone that melee's but it hit rangers the hardest, followed by swashies brig monks and bruisers....it hurt us a bit.  To explain poison (or anything else for that matter except inate weapon procs) don't proc off of our offhand weapons anymore, and for bows, melee weapon procs no longer go off from bow shots.those are the highlights anyway...<div></div>

<P>To be honest I belive this class has been fine since KOS.</P> <P>Pre-DOF was our major time of need lol I remember sending abusive feedback on a dayly basic pre DOF due to the lack of our ex-soloing ability (we had like no advoidence reguardless of agi).</P> <P>We got better @ DOF however the surrounding class's did to 10 fold (brigs bruiser ranger exsamples)</P> <P>However there dayly resolve of dag mouthing this class and gloating over proc rate's & such in the end ultimately ended up getting them self's nerfed. Thus now I don't complaine nor compliment this class cause goddess knows I dont want to see any more bs.</P> <P> </P> <P>(b4 ppl start calling me a BS whiner, I wouldn't of needed to whine to SOE HAD People not [expletive haxx0red by Raijinn]ed about this class in the 1st place. I got here 4 months after release so missed out the time of when the assassin class was what it was ment to be. I'v been told a predator's advoidence back in the day was actrauly something worth building up...)</P>

<P>T5 soloing was kiting(rest in peace).</P> <P>I've been playing this assassin since Jan 05 and alot has changed, but not once have I hated or disliked our class in anyway. We do great dps now and can solo ok, but we aren't a solo class really so no need to complain about that imo. Thats what AA's are for. If someone wants to solo then go the STA line and mix it with the other lines.</P>
