Swashbuckler or Assassin ?

Stormtrooper007 · 01-06-2011, 04:56 AM

I can't decide between swash and assassin, which one is more desired for group / raid ?

All i know is :

Assassin = T1 DPS + hate transfer

Swash = T2 DPS + hate transfer + debuffs

Now what is T1 DPS compared to T2 DPS ? can i have an estimation ? (T1 dps = 2 x T2 dps ? or 1,5 ? or ...)

Thanks.

Wait some time til Velious is out. SOE really likes to switch the classes from superiour to useless and back

Scout dps depends on the encounter design.

Actually for "The Hole": forgot the assa, take the swashy. AE Group Immune is the key there. Hole is more range fight and heavy movement on bosses. For dps the raid will focus for caster dps, not for scout dps. Hate transfer is nice, but not on high demand. So debuffs (Brigand) and Utility (Group AE Immune - Swashy) will count.

If you wonna have a save spot on raid, go for Dirge / Troub
