All I know is what I experience when I play. I dont know what the assassin experience is...I dont play them. Rangers post LU20 were not impossible to play, but they were impossible to play effectively. Solo'ing was either a practice in how to use evac or it was a funeral every other time. This is concerning even con no arrow mobs. Argue if you want, that was/is the reality for me. I have all imbued equip., adept 1 minimum on all ca's.
But you know what...it doesnt matter...what matters isnt what my experience was, it is what the developer's experience was that is important.
And apparently the dev's saw fit to fix the deficiencies they themselves found.
I do think that assassins should get something akin to the "unbreakable root" (4 seconds btw) rangers have coming to them. I think a unresistable stun or something is what you guys need. I wholly support assassins in the desire for a change like that for them. I think it not only fair but necessary.
But that is my opinion. Let us hope that the dev's see it that way as well.
