Assassin has too many good skills xD
I guess some are more PVP oriented than others, but still…

Since you’re talking about balancing here regarding RO and TOS.
TOS has it worse than RO, even now.
In RO, specially pre juno phase which you said you were in, wizards were very weak. March in an army of 97 vit stun immune knights wearing marc and the wizards turn into a huge pile of joke without bragi’s poem to spam meteor storm, then proceed to annihilate the wizard camp. But yes, it was more of a pot war than anything, which again favors knights. It’s because people were still dumb back then and made pure agi builds so they get rekt by wizards. A several few patches and they adapted to to PVP builds which made it much more balanced.
Juno patch made counterparts of the previous classes which balanced the game. But Renewal is a mess, I don’t wanna talk about it.
TOS at release +rank8, I can’t even begin to explain, cleric and wizards faceroll everything, remember at the start of rank 8 patch? Only Clerics were able to solo clear the new main quest content without too much trouble. Some wizards also being safe with Sage Missile Hole.
There’s a whole lot of massive wreck in TOS you can’t deny (class balancing included) that took very long to fix, these are critical issues that needed to be resolved.
Lastly it’s already a big fact that something’s innately wrong with TOS when ragnarok private servers have more population than TOS official server.
There’s been a lot of suggestions to improve TOS that had been asked for since “Hue” days if you remember, yet they were applied too late when people already left.
I’m still here to see what this patch brings, or see if it’s another joke with effort.
Assassin is like a pre-nerf r8 class lol. The skills are good already but the attributes seem to add too much.
It seems to be fun and well designed though, I hope any underwhelming class eventually gets to this level of completion at least before the patch goes live.

It’s like a lot of the fun IMC sucked out of the other classes was gifted to the assassins.
And it’s spot on to say there are too many effects. For example annihilation gives pseudo invul with invisibility (during?) the damage application + wide AoE + double crit chance (on condition) + stealth and movespeed. There is also behead with bleed + %HP bleed + 3ple damage + silence.
oops, did somebody fart?

Assassin looks like an r11 class compared to other classes.

Birth of the farting build?
Jokes aside, I can already hear the complaints of “too much stealth” from a scout-shinobi-assassin-rogue(burrow).
Blame the Penguins… or maybe newDiev 
you can already see it xD
But that’s the point of the tree 
unless they are one of those people that butchers and brute force their way through stealth games

Shinobi bunshin no jutsu drains stamina again. Also only shinobi skills seem to work on clones.

So my understanding of google was right. Scouts do get tanking tools in outlaw. Looks at paladin …
No, Outlaw doesn’t require any reagents. Assassin has to buy the potions for Hasisas, but that’s it.

Wow, outlaw is the tank class in the scout tree. It’s an evasion tank. That’s probably not going to work nearly as well as swordsman tanks, but it’s still very interesting.
It’s going to work even better because evasion doesn’t damage your equipment like blocking/taking hits does.
A Swordsman/Cleric Tank without evasion can only tank for a very short amount of time until his armor will be broken <_<
imo bully should not count when attacked from behind. The buff is just too strong for the game <_<
dont think the extra aggro generation is for tanking
seems like a downside they put in since they overloaded the class with so much effects, makes it a little riskier to play than usual

Yeah but what about the way evasion gets a penalty with enemy density? The way tanking tends to work in this game is you draw as many enemies together as possible and then hold them in place while the aoes are laid down.
