Pvp assassin Class?

Class and Rank Archer
#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

Mmm ya know, thing is, ToS isn’t just about one class. You should consider what both Swordsman and Archer have to offer in terms of classes and go from there. If you want to play a “melee assassin” though, backstab is literally the only thing you have in terms of melee if you’re going that way.

Do you only want melee variants?

#10

Backstab and Hackapel abilities for as melee stuff

#11

I’m not interested in other melee type classes like warriors (2handed weapon or 1h weapon+shield) nor melee-magical classes (paladin or inquisitor)

#12

I mean do you only want the melee versions of an “assassin” build

For example there is hackapell that is melee but the skills require a mount. With the exception of [backstab], rogue skills dismount. The rogue’s [burrow] makes you invisible and able to attack but disables A LOT of your skills and immobilizes you (so it’s only practical on a ranged build - specifically a3-sc-ro3). Also you can’t use a scout’s [cloaking] (you are invisible and can move but taking and dealing damage reveals you) while mounted.

This next bit is just theorycraft on my part since I don’t have a shinobi. Shinobi is still exellent burst (if you can accept the cd’s) more so now since bunshins can copy peltasta skills now too. So maybe a sw1-p3-x-x-sh-mur would do since murmillo enhances peltasta skill damage and bunshins copy peltasta skills so … you get the idea.

As i wrote i’m note intereset of playin 1h weapon+ shield, peltasta3>Roladeo>3>shinobi>murmillo is a 1h weapon+shield build.
If i go shinobi i’ll play him hoplite2>corsair2>shinobi>corsair3

So … you don’t care about the (low?) damage you will be doing? Is this a role play thing?

I do care about damage :stuck_out_tongue: i want high damage but a dual–wield class or even crossbow+dagger like rogue.

#16

And “dual wield” is a role play condition. Since that is what you want, there’s no point in asking if you’re “gonna do what you’re gonna do” regardless of input.

#17

so what is your advice mate please? If i want to play a burst class i have to play musketeer??

#18

this is a MMORolePlayingGame, ofc we are roleplaying right now, huehue
@Laawc but musketeer required you to use musket

#19

ikr. That’s why I ended “do what you’re gonna do” since his RP trumps everything.

#20

I seriously don’t care about Role Play lol i’m just trying to figure out what class reprents better the assassin class style in this damn game where u can find bunch type of mages, archers,swordmen,mages,priests but no assassin at all…

I want to play an sneaky class in any PVP content that’s it…
