Assassin pvp class?

Class and Rank Swordsman
#1

Hello !

I used to play assassin/thief/rogue or whatever it called on MMORPGs but on Tree of Savior i can’t find it. After reading some posts on internet, i found that:

-Rogue class which is both ranged and melee can be the assassin type class thnaks to the cloacking and stealth abilities and backstab (yes i’m just interested of playing a melee assassin)

-Shinobi: with corsair path : dual wielding, burst damage, crowd control,stealth even if shinobi has long CD and still bugged.

So what u guys think about it? Backstab spec rogue or shinobi for any format pvp : duel, 2v2, 5v5 , GvG

Thank you very much and sorry for my english, still practising :stuck_out_tongue:

I saw rogue videos where the guys could 2 shot people xD I mean if an enemy use a bubble maybe i just wait it disapears and i attack?

#4

Go

Arher>Scout>Rogue

this gives stealth and backstab

#5

Yup thanks for the advice. So you prefer rogue over shinobi as assassain class?

Rogue is quite poor in PVP but seems fun to play. They’re super reliant on someone locking down their target because the good players don’t stand still.

Pirate ninjas do quite well in PVP if you go high STR instead of high DEX because you need block penetration. A well executed Iron Hook will often decide the match. This is what I play. I mained assassin in RO and my build feels very similar. Hexen Dropper even resembles Sonic Blow lol.

Thanks mates i think i’m gonna up a shinobi :slight_smile:

Assassin’s meaning stealth kills or assassin’s meaning 1 or 2 shotting ppl?

#9

both :stuck_out_tongue: but really reaaaally squishy

Scout>Rogue would be better IMO, shinobi has a super hard quest that i heard takes days, and its more of a ninja (with a way shorter stealth than scout)

and to make a good shinobi, i think you need to go
Swordsman>Pelt2>Rodelero3>Shinobi>Mumillo
so you have 6 circles of sheild classes which doesnt fit assasin (ninja)

#11

what about Swordman>Pelt>Hoplite2>Corsair2>Shinobi>any r8 ?

#12

it would work, but it wouldnt seem like an assasin, i mean, you ever see an assasian use a spear?

Swordsman>Pelt2>Rodel3>Shinobi>Murmillo
is stronger than that build tho

but shinobi doesnt seem like an assasin, it doesnt even come from the same culure, while rogue litterally is an assasin

#13

yes you’re right but the fact is shinobi can dual wield melee weapons and rogue cannot. And Swordsman>Pelt2>Rodel3>Shinobi>Murmillo is weird too i’ve never seen an assassin shield wearer :stuck_out_tongue:

#14

yeah, shinoi wont feel like a assasin more than a rogue, but it can dual weild i guess, you dont even et much from dual weiding but duble assult tho.

This provides an lock&ambush combo of Hook>Stride>Hexen.

While this will provide Maximum CC lockdown on contact.

HopSairs tend to have more safe gapcloser than RodShin due to IronHook since ShieldCharge and Slithering is slow af in terms of movespeed. And they can still both make use of Murmilllo’s FrenzySlash at r8 as another gap closer.

Just think of it as a blunt fumma shuriken(Shield Lob)

Is rogue kinda useful in Pvp ? (2v2 5v5 and gvg) i mean exept backstabiing people which can be easy countered as told by razm2888 : “rogue and backstab is not a good pvp mechanic imo, you’ll lose to almost any other pvp class such as cataphract, kinos, warlocks (because of the dark shield), and clerics ofc.”

#17

Ok thanks mate. What about Shinobi vs rogue please? Do you have some info or advices please? Trying to get different opinions :stuck_out_tongue:

#18

youre Scout>Rogue, not just rogue…

so you get damage mitigation, and you cn just stealth b4 u use backstab

and capture is useful in PvP, it steals a magic circle,

you could go

Archer2>Sapper>Scout>Rogue3>?

so ur litterally an assiasin, traps, tealth, smoke bombs, theif, high dodging, mitigation

the only thing u really get simialr to an assiain with shinobi is a shot stealth and decoy

Pelt>Rodelero>Shinobi>Murmillo has more dmg but it is not similar to assasin, alteast not nearly as rogue is

Mate thank you very much for the detailed answers and patience :slight_smile: I think you convinced me i’m gonna up a rogue :stuck_out_tongue:

#20

if you go

Archer2>Sapper>Scout>Rogue3
the “assasiny” feel wont show up until rank 6 though, because thats where u get the backstab, high evasion, smoke bomb

b4 then u have flare and stealth and camoflaudge

Rogues3 aren’t that much viable anymore imo due to:
-Karacha set(Backstab dmgx4 now x3) nerf months ago
-Backstab’s hitbox(which is melee) being picky on where the target is facing(basically as bad as it’s RO counterpart)

Unlike assassins/rogues in other games ours can’t hide>skill>hide
or hide>skill>kill due to poor class/skill balancing.
Right now PvP wise its either play burst or play CC or play cleric.

They are still a one circle wonder class due to Sneakhit, Feint and Capture that can go well with other builds like Ranger, Sapper or give Cannoneers and Musketeer landing bigger crit chance on their burst damage skills. Specially that stacking Werewolf cards just got proven to maximize Sneakhit
