there is only two things to remember:
1) do not go to arena, unless you are extremely bored and willing to lose some pride
2) stay behind everyone else or hide like a girl until you get some buffs
what assassin can do:
1) hide
2) beg for buffs
what assassin cannot do:
1) tank better than knights/soldiers/ even champs and evokers
2) run faster than shadow hunter
3) kill faster than a battle summoner
4) raise pets faster than pet class
5) farm well without chips
conclusion: suck to be an assassin
Illdirrey's additions:
What assassins can do:
1) Lead dungeon parties to their location the easiest( anyone with good computer can pretty much replace cloak)
2) Hide and rez party members in sieges (something to do with hide again, can easily replaced by two people- one lead, one res)
3) 15 second fear.(not much usage except on arena where assassins suck on)
4) 2nd fastest running speed in the game (on buffs + hunter armor)(oh yes, 15 more move spd, thats so "usefull")
5) Solo dungeon mobs with a blue pixie(can someone tell me which class can't do that?)
6) Utilize the bleed ability (with xbow) on [??] bosses and dungeon core/stone(wait, why don't i just pick shadow hunter for 2nd job if thats what i want)
7) Effectively kill off a dungeon party by stun locking one healer and fearing the other(are you in the right guild? or you picked the wrong class)
8) Explore the entire world well before any other class can(something relatives to hide again, too bad in Epic 6, some monsters can see invisible units now)
