Idea Assassin rework (with 1.9's features)

Jk, I'll comment when finished.

 

Seems good, a bit technical but pretty easy to do overall. I think Assassin would get a bit more OP though.

 

Good rework but the bow is not needed. I feel like the cooldown that stops you from filling up your exp bar should be 4 seconds because its pretty hard to get 4-5 hits.

 

I agree with @sportyman56 especially when you're up against a heavy or Mage type class, it is a bit hard to get 4-5 hits without dying. The bow would take away from the old assassin being a combat kit than rather a ranged class. Other else then that, I like the ideas you put up even though I hate 1.9, since I want to see assassin rework as well

 

This would make assassin a much more interesting class to play as, and would be more interesting than just having to sit behind a wall and assassinate. +1 for creativity

However, I think a few fixes can be made from this, mainly I'm concerned about the damage values. It's very similar to the way pyro frenzy works at the moment, which deals 7 hearts of true damage if I'm not mistaken to anyone on fire. Since assassin doesn't need people to be on fire to instant kill it makes sense to lower the amount of true damage to 5-6 but then again, 7 hearts of true damage would be better imo, simply because it will be less difficult to kill a target as a newer player (losing 7 hearts is steakable anyway if you're quick enough, and it still is weaker than instakills).
Also, AFAIK weakness weakens your damage output, so applying weakness II whilst having assassinate would mean you'd be doing 2-3 hearts of true damage instead of 5-6. I think it's better to apply poison I instead, assassin would be dealing a lot of damage but will be easily killable to compensate (just like ninja)

Regarding the eggs and bow- good idea, but I feel like it would just make assassin overloaded in its kit like elf is. Why not just make a bow that 'marks' a target whilst they are getting poison II? The arrow count could increase to 5 then instead of 4 w/o regenerating, would make it a much simpler kit and less items in your inventory.

 

Change the glowing effect into a glowstone dust tbh, you can probably code it so it throws like eggs.

 

agree with this, maybe it does 8 hearts true damage when you hit from behind? but 5 true damage with assassinate on

 

Or just don't update to 1.9 ;-;

 

I mean, if you think about it keeping as many abilities on a class as possible will just make it more overloaded and more of a pain to use. If i dare say so, the skill cap would already be widened by the fact that you got 4 shots available that don't regenerate without a medic, keeping them different abilities would be more tedious work. Besides, I don't think many people would be bothered that much about being marked unless they were to receive a debuff of some sorts such as slowness or poison, which is what the arrow does, meaning that it would emphasise the point of trying not to get marked besides just being visible to all players. As long as assassin has no instakill, I can definitely say it already is more skilled to play, and then again there are also the randee players that enjoy playing the widely hated class as well, making it more difficult for them would just make it less fun to play

CTF is already playable in 1.9 nerd

 

1.11 already getting snapshots doesn't help, if you want to stay up to date as a server you should update ;D

 

I dislike the idea for the things that got pointed out in the slimesquad chat which you have already read.

 

I like the concept aside from the eggs and poison arrows. Having two classes that throw eggs, but do two different things is very confusing. As far as the bow goes, it doesn't really fit the concept of an assassin style of gameplay.

 

Could easily br snowballs or something o wait medic webs, hm.
