<DIV>I posted this on the scout forums as well, but it applies mostly to assassins who's big damage comes from backstabs so i'm putting it here as well...<BR><BR>I was in a group with my assassin last night and noticed about 80% of my backstabs (condemning blade, punch blade, garrote, bloodthirster, mask of night and even assassinate) were being parried or blocked.  I was obviously behind the mob as you need to be for most of these skills and it's just good practice as an assassin in a group and the tank abviously had aggro.  It was very annoying seeing as how most of these skills don't exactly have a short reuse timer... </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Basically, as an assassin, if i can't even land my backstabs I'm gimped.  I don't get big party buffs or much utility other than pathfinding and escape (which all other scouts get). I've already bugged this a few times.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Edelis Nightfall</DIV> <DIV>51 Assassin</DIV> <DIV>Lucan D'Lere</DIV><p>Message Edited by Edelis on <span class=date_text>09-28-2005</span> <span class=time_text>07:52 AM</span>

Noticed this today also, there was a blue con solomob I just couldn't kill, he parried or blocked anything, and its especially annoying since when a spell gets resisted he can be recast some seconds later, if for example assassinate misses or gets blocked, it's gone für 15 minutes. <div></div>

brawlers can block and parry from behind so the mobs of those classes can as well.
