I play a r/a instead because I want to use the expertise benefits. Quite fun to play and it gives me a good balance of offense and defensive abilities.

R/As are my favorite too! I noticed that sins do hav some problem in energy management.

Here's my suggestion of Necro skills which I think work best with Assassin primary(cost/cast time/recharge) :

Blood Magic
--------------
Dark Bond (5/2/20)
Life Siphon (10/2/2)
Well Of Blood (15/2/2)

Curse Magic
--------------
Parasitic Bond (5/1/2)
Faintheartedness (10/1/8)
Mark Of Pain (10/2/30)
Plague Signet (-/1/10)

Death Magic
--------------
Animate XXX (25/3/5)
Animate Flesh Golem (15/3/30)
Animate Vampiric Horror (25/3/5)
Putrid Explosion (10/1/5)
Soul Feast (10/1/*)
Tainted Flesh (5/1/*)
Taste Of Death (5/0.25/*)
Taste Of Pain (5/0.25/10)

No Attribute
--------------
Plague Touch (5/0.75/*)



Suggested skill setup will be :

slot 1-4 : basic 3 Assassin combo (your choice) + 1 Shadow Skill

slot 5-7 : 2 or 3 Necro skills (Attribute dependent)

slot 5/6/7 : Enhancement spell / combo follow up [4th hit] / 2nd Shadow Skill (optional if you choose 3 Necro skills)

slot 8 : ressurection.

Only bring 2 Necro skill if you are not wearing "shrouded" armor or not investing in Critical Strike. A Zealous dagger is recommended. Since Assassin has 4 energy regen summoning minions will not be a big problem although in limited numbers (2-3 should be enough). They serve as your tanks/sidekicks and backup "healing" reservoir (ala Vampiric Horror/Taste of Death). As you can see most of these skills has very low cast time thus they can even be incoporate in to your combos.

This is just my observation. Feel free to comment.

Look what Anet gave me for my warriors birthday

In GWF you need gold and skill points to buy off the skills you need from the skill trainers. You get capture signets from the skill trainer to capture elite skills from the monster bosses you meet.

Not as cool as disket's Boney..... but I still consider my little Kuuney a very nice mini pet

hehe i got that pet as well, from GWF collectors' ed,

dang noisy pet though, flying around making noise, sometimes makes me think some monster is after me haha

it will be damn good if the dragon spits out fire..wakkaa..

dang, i sold off my blak moa and tame phoenix instead as a pet..now i am so regret..sobbbb....the phoenix is fuglyyyyyy....>.<

how do u guys keep track of what the Collectors offer and what they need?
Its driving me crazy, going the all over the map searching for them again and again just to recheck.

it's a very good site

whoa thanks alot

what does non-stacking mean?
this Knight Canthan Cuirass armor says "reduce physical damage" (non-stacking)

does it mean wearing the curiass is enough for that effect? what if i buy another Knight Canthan Leggings, it wont be sensible is it?

"non stacking" mean can not stack

i will use the rune for example,
putting 3 same type of rune together wont stack their benefit. but the -hp will stack.

Example.if you put 3 minor axe mastery(+1) in your helmet, armour, leggings. It will not be +3, it is still +1 because of "non stacking".

nope adding a knight legging doesnt increase the damage reduce, some stats will stack while other doesnt, runes doesnt stack at all, it'll onli take the highest value, so a +1 and +3 together means it'll take the +3

since all armor under canthan category will look the same, u can mix and match it depending on ur profession. mebbe with some + energy, damage reduction and some with extra armor or health or weapon mastery

thanks for the reply. now it makes more sense to me.. hehe.
switched back to assassin from my warrior... seems playing with assassin is more interesting..

interesting but tough at higher lvl, wat's ur assassins secondary, and wat skills u use, i am still using those that i got free, havent bought any new skills yet

currently my assasins is in limbo at the moment, working on my w/e now

I'm thinking to just use assassin skills later... something like a pure assassin build i read from a forum.. not sure it will work tho... lolz.

man.. sometimes its bored to play alone.. dont really know anyone in there.
