L-A Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Self Edited. You're not worth it. PM if you want to - the truth is though that neither myself nor anyone else are here for players to set us up and troll easy kills. I would go back and defend - ONCE. Hide and sit there and I'll walk away. You want me, come get me.... L-A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aulian Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 Rykar didn't take falcon eye. I think that time I got you so quickly I got REALLY lucky on a study and just went for broke on it. And I believe that time I did actually strangle you. There were times I got Dumela without a strangle' date=' but there were times I did strangle. And Rykar's hit/dam was pretty good. I've never personally had a falcon eye ninja, I've heard from falcon eyes that they can get full study in 3 studies and I've been jealous of that, but I think if they're forced to fight, they're easier to kill. Shadow arts is a devil.[/quote'] Really? Damn, You assassinated me probably about 6 times... And you strangled once I believe, when I was still V. Still dont think assassinate should work with all those buffs and you being awake... Seemed like it fired off pretty easy. I'd still have the logs but lost all my computer to a virus and could only get back some worthless uni crap (who needs uni crap.) Meh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0xx Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I wasn't going to post' date=' but as it was my char you saw , that originally started this off, I felt I would like to say something...[/quote'] :confused: :confused: :confused: I really have no idea what you're talking about... I posted this because I remembered how [name edited] assassinated my combat ninja and due to M's favourite saying that players complain about skills only when there is a character 'exploiting' those skills, and since there is no active falcon eye ninja at the moment, I decided it would be a good time for a discussion. Btw, the ninja managed to get a full study while I was chasing, while I strangled her at least 2 times and left her at awful. Yet, she still got the full study in less than 5 minutes and I was assassinated without even being strangled. At that time I asked myself, "Why do I even bother with combat ninjas when I can get easy kills like that?". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He poses the question of why even bother practicing 95% of the ninja skillset or even put forth the time and effort in learning how to pk in the game when you can just learn two moves and avoid combat to win? Inmek and Rhazhakhar were nearly in the same situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inmek and Rhazhakhar were nearly in the same situation. I thinks that a really a gross over-simplification of the situation. Assassinate isn't that easy to use against more skilled players. The fact that a few - yes, only a few of total kills in the game - assassinations have happened and players don't like not fighting back is why this thread would seem to be here.

L-A I'm sure someone will scream at the parallel, but I see bashlocking as very similar. You don't get to enter commands and you're usually dead before you know it. But we aren't discussing about warriors who bashlock ninjas, thieves, hell even pallies and dks at times. Bashlocks happen far more often than assassinations. I don't see why assassinate is a problem. I still have yet to see someone wreck with it. I had two ninjas awhile back, and all I could do was assassinate. A ninja with this as their only ability will not do well anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inmek and Rhazhakhar were nearly in the same situation. Rhazhakhar was not a falcon eye ninja. Also, if you want to be successful against 20% of the playerbase, then hide, study, and assassinate will be enough. However, if you want to be successful against the other 80%, you're going to need to learn a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if you want to be successful against the other 80%, you're going to need to learn a lot more. Sounds about right. Well said there man, I also agree with whomever brought up bash/bodyslam/ locking kills, because they definitely happen way more, its not even a contest with that... anyways I think assassinate is fine, like I said earlier if anything needs to be done it is in the study skill.

Imoutgoodbye Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 it is in the study skill. I agree. Make that s*** happen faster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 70% of my fights seem to be against those who were immune and the rest require more than just spam... Sure, its good in the 30s if you have tainted and a fire lance before anyone else, but apart from that.... L-A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L-A My point with the original statement was that bashlocking happens much likely more than assassination, with a comparable situational "cheapness" as it were, but they are not needing toning or changing. To avoid, enlarge, hide, kill the warrior, protective shield, stay away from the warrior. To avoid assassination, enlarge, hide, kill the ninja, stay out of cities, stay away from the ninja. This post isn't in opposition to you L-A, just clarifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
