Assassins are one of the best classes around. They can sneak around, hide, backstab and just generally ruin someone's day. They have poor damage just plain attacking but some can backstab for amounts that will kill any class and any race. Their backstab does up to 4x their normal hit. Assassins can also hunt their prey down with stalk. An assassin is set to kill when has a devyn's defender/skull dagger/acheron's knife, barbarian skins/blood fiend skins, mask of valest, and heavens shield.
Kiro's comments: They're too good. Their dodge is too high and they do way too much damage. The only thing that can go wrong when a slayer is fighting is if he doesn't connect at all for some reason. Otherwise, when making a slayer EVERY stat is important. I've won a mosh simply because I had more intelligence than another slayer and therefore he could not find me hiding but I could find him.
Aramoug's Comments: Way too good. Dodge is way too high and I don't think assassins should be able to use shields, I mean can you picture a guy sneaking around...with a shield? Doesn't make sense to me. Any class with the ability to one round ANYBODY is too good. A half orc with 23 str and a brill skull dagger can BS for OVER 800 damage in one hit. Again, every stat (except charisma) is vital in an assassin. Summary: Slayers are my favorite class, need I say more?
Mortis's comments: Being that other slayer, I can also tell you that it was partly due to lag. Every stat is important though, but not having the most intelligence is not something to hit your head over. If a slayers hidden, they backstab you and then you have enough time to hit them while they're running out and back in. In my opinions, slayers are powerful, just as powerful as they should be. The only time we have problems is when we don't connect, which happens from time to time. If you can't connect a backstab, kiss yourself goodbye.
Zildjian's comments: I once viewed slayers as unkillable, until I got one. They are EXCELLENT at moving around the realms, exploring new areas, and winning events do to their ability to hide, but you have to hope that your backstabs hit. If you have the stats, INCLUDING intelligence, you know how to play the class, and the other person doesn't know how to fight assassins, you've got it made.
Opal's Comments: never leveled one past lvl 23 but i have played some slayers and its kinda obvious they r probably the best class as of now. they have a great dodge they can hide and hit u for 500+easily. even a crappy slayer can get lucky and take anyone out with 2 bs in a row. basically if ur looking to make something to compete with the big boys make a good slayer and load him up on brills or questies and u'll be pretty tough to mess with
Sertzer's comments: Slayers are one of, if not the best class in the game. They do an insane amount of damage and are one of the few classes that can take out a priest one on one. They have decent armor and a variety of weapons that all do about the same damage. Although I wouldn't recommend trying to make a slayer your first character, it would be one of my first 4 characters to make.
