Gotta agree is much better than current assassin.

10/10 much good

 

Interesting. I feel like it'd be kind of meh for recovering though, with the weak armor and no really strong ability. The 2.5 hearts true damage will be able to 4 shot anything which is pretty good, but it could also be killed by a class with steak before it does much. With the knives, this would basically only be effective for recovering on the run while the FC is running back to base.

I also like the eye of ender, it kind of gives it the mobility it needs to be fast, but isn't too OP.

Maybe some tweaks, some extra abilities or armor, but I like the idea.

 

I like it. Question/suggestion: The pearl doesn't make you go into or through walls, right? It should make you stop right in front of a wall if you point at a wall that's fewer than 15 blocks away. But yeah, good rework

 

While I completely despise Assassin as both a class and a concept, and believe that it serves literally no purpose in CTF (and never will) I do agree that this rework is an improvement over the total bs trash that is current Assassin. However, considering that most anything would be some kind of improvement over current Assassin that isn't saying much.

Here's what I think of this rework in two words: Discount Ninja.

Why? First off I admire the effort that went into making Assassin a standalone, unique class. Nevertheless, the fact is, Assassin in any way shape, or form is far too hamstrung by both its name and concept to meaningfully differ from Ninja.

Here's a few of this Assassin's similarities to Ninja:

• Sword is meant to deal a steady amount of damage in melee, like Ninja, but it is a bit weaker than Ninja's own. Ninja's sword can deal more than 2.5 hearts of true damage to many of the classes and can deal far more damage than this Assassin can to squishies like Elf, other Ninjas, other Assassins, Chemists (armor is weak although it has a large heath pool), Pyro, Mage, etc.

• The eye of ender is literally a highly limited/nerfed Ninja enderpearl.

• Assassin passive is a toned down version of Ninja's passive.

In sum, I firmly believe, as I always have, that Assassin should be removed from CTF and everyone who bought it should get a refund. This rework is just another example of why removal of this class is necessary as, although it is a creative rework, it utterly fails to make Assassin really different from Ninja. I mean, why would I want to play this Assassin when I could play Ninja? The damage output is about the same, both classes are squishy, Ninja has way more mobility, and plus Ninja has invisibility/flash bombs. I don't know about you but I'm starting to lean towards playing Ninja instead of Assassin, which has neither invisibility, flash bombs, or comparable mobility. Now, I'll admit that the Assassin armor looks cool and everything but I don't use any class to look snazzy unless its Fashioninsta and Assassin is not that class.

If anything I'd say my motivation to purchase Assassin, let alone play it, is lessened with this rework because I can't get easy recoveries now which is one of the big selling points of current Assassin. In short, what's been done here is that Assassin's instant kill has been removed and replaced with nothing particularly powerful, which I feel would make the class even more pointless and dumb in game then it already is.

Interesting, but who's going to kill that enemy pyro know, who's going to hard counter mage, who can just clean up cluster****s and don't you think it's a very different recovery role you're giving the class?

Also, I don't like the amount of true damage running around the game right now what with pyro and elf and mage qq

Nice concept, but huge role change

 

elf only does true damage on the 2nd-and-beyond shots tho ;-;

 

Very nice and well put together. love it!

 

it doesn't work on ping so it's an improvement to me

 

it still defeats the purpose of armor. Less and less classes actually need armor now, armor is becoming less important, thus nerfing classes like necro, heavy or soldier.

 

I feel as if necro doesn't deserve any further abuse from the mods. #Istandwithnecro

 

As an assassin..
I find this being my next bae.
Luv plz upgrade.

 

Extremely interesting.

 

Am I the only one that enjoys assassin as is?

 

You're not alone, trust me. Assassin is just fine the way it is.

 

I still love how assassin is but I have to agree with this rework. It makes assassin more skillful!
+0.85

Here are some ability ideas to give a bit of taste: (might be too much XD)
Assassinate: (Passive)
Fall on an enemy from 8+ blocks to deal 5.5 hearts of true damage or less or more. (CD: 6 seconds)

Sneak attack: (Passive)
Hit an enemy from behind to deal 2.0 X the damage and give them slowness I for 1 second. (CD: 9 seconds)

Unarm: (Passive)
Block for 2 seconds and when someone hits you, they will lose their item for 3 seconds. (CD: 12 seconds)

Perhaps give it Golden boots with protection and or feather falling III?
