Assassins make the best assassins of course. Anyways. Elven assassins... I suppose it could Yes assassins are worth it. The class was for me
happen. There's one in the game I know of, but
it's a mob. I just can't see all these elves
running around trying to assassinate. Just doesn't
seem elvish.
by far the most fun I've had. Even before they
were changed, they were fun to play. Now they are
killing machines. In the 30-40 range there are
few tougher opponents than a well trained assassin.
Assassinate alone is worth trying the class. The
kicks and various crippling techniques make them
hard to fight as a warrior and tiger claw makes them
all the more dangerous to mages. I'm not sure how
well they stand up to shamans as I can't remember
fighting any. They stand up fairly well in the hero
ranks. Much much better than rangers and warriors
and for the most part, thieves. The 250 or 300 xp
penalty isn't a big deal at all. Especially if you
play a human.
