T7 and T6 Master top ten

[Vindorus]

My little Assasine is growing towards level 70 and I am wondering wich masterspells are a must-have. So I´d like you to create a list with your in your opinion most important abilities for an assasine. So start like this 1. most important2. .......10. actually I dont even use this sh... <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> Would be VERY helpful ;D greetings <div></div>

<DIV>I'd argue that Fiendish Villainy  is the most important Master to get.  The fact that its an always on buff and the increase is pretty substanial.  <BR><BR>After that, start working on your backstabs (Lower duration first).  Your better off upgrading your lower damage, constant use abilties then say Decapitate, as you will use them much more often.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I was very happy to get a Master of Scraping blow a couple weeks ago.  The increase is really substanial for an ability on such a short timer.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>For least important, the ranged CA's.  Neckshot and such aren't really a priority.  If you can get a really good deal on one go ahead but if not save the platinum for your melee and buff Ca's.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV><p>Message Edited by Rian18 on <span class=date_text>01-06-2007</span> <span class=time_text>07:50 PM</span>

<DIV>the useless Skill for an Assassin is the defense Stance, never used in lower tiers. Maybe for solo´ing somethin but an Assassin is 99,9 % in "Offense Stance".</DIV> <DIV>And a second one is the Ancient Teaching Apply Poison, spend never over 30-100 Plat on that spell. The Proc on a Partymember is the difference from A3 -> M1 low and the Proc isnt important anymore if you got a3 or m1. The Important Skills are Fiendish Villany, Offense Stance and the Stealth Nukes on m1. The normal Levelrange Skills 64 up to 69 are common masters and shouldnt be expensive on every Server.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>All others you can play fine with your Char is a3. Overtime DoTs and that stuff i means.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Greetings from Germany </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Ocrana</DIV>

there is no master which gives you a huge dps boost instead of an other from a3 to m1. it adds all up. well, skratt should say something he's my assassin of the year <img src="/smilies/283a16da79f3aa23fe1025c96295f04f.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />must have is fiendish villainy thats all. even offensiv stance dont boost your dps much. and get defensive stance if you solo much. its easier to do pp, nest, several nameds or much of adds solo in this stance.dont forget debuffs, theyre very important.get all to a3 and if you already did so, buy whatever you can get.edit: this might help too <a target="_blank" href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=40&message.id=18992">http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=40&message.id=18992</a><p>Message Edited by DiceDunkelrose on <span class=date_text>01-07-2007</span> <span class=time_text>01:10 AM</span>

Fiendish vil. is the most important, but the offensive stance is a big deal too.  The reason is the +melee skills is significantly better, in addition to a better proc damage.

I'd mark offensive stance more important than then the buff for the simple reason of availability. Fiendish Villainy is pretty common where as offensive stance is very rare these days. I also love my in-sneak masters, but I got those all before I could use them so I can't comment on the difference with ad3.(except decapitate, which isn't a big deal) I'd really love to see a master of finishing blow and crippling strike as well. I'll even throw freezing strike onto the list. Scraping Blow is probably one of the more important ones as well since there's nothing you hit more, but have never seen the master so can't be positive.<div></div>

the point is that the offstance is next to impossible to get as its T6 on his/our server neckshot is available for like 2p at the broker which is pretty okof course want to have fiendish villany, constriction, cloaked assault ya.. i agree that the ranged CAs are the least important but nearly every other spell is kinda important. this does also apply to the defstance which is easily obtainable at master. youll need it for soloing (upgrade with new aa!) and in combination with a roundshield while tanking (65-70% avoid with dirge in group)oh before i forget: you might want to ignore ocranas view on spell prices because hes kinda mad about that...example: outbiding a 30p bid with 100p... great... you couldve as well given me the wasted 50-60p...so to say... every asn-spell over 10p it not worth is and you might want wait till you/r guild get it for nothingoh another note: theres more spells you dont need mastered or a3'd at all. this is basicly concealment (no duration increase on higher tiers), apply poison (a1 does only do around 6% of MTs dps), this put-in-stealth-hit<p>Message Edited by Nathdorl on <span class=date_text>01-08-2007</span> <span class=time_text>12:54 AM</span>

<P>by the way Nathdorl with the outbidding with 30p up to 100p say it which master that was /laugh</P> <P>i was bidding on Dispatch m1 and Def Stance for Guardian, but that is a Assassin Thread and those things shouldnt be in here. Back to topic plz</P> <P> </P> <P>and those both Spells are worth enough to spend 100p for raids in it. I never payed for any Assassin m1 up to 30p btw.</P><p>Message Edited by GerOcrana on <span class=date_text>01-08-2007</span> <span class=time_text>05:56 AM</span>
