tips for returning assasssins

Here is a short guide/information that I have put together so people have easier time adjusting to 1.5 reality.

Combo mechanics
You have to “land” every combo “step” in order to deal 100% damage. If you miss one combo step you will see one of combo’s “arrow” light up red. Missing a combo step will apply penality of -5% damage.

Game mechanics
Dubble tapping and using active block no longer gives buff
Dubble tapping backwards puts evade buff on cooldown

Combo steps
Combos got their steps reduced.

Combo changes
- Lots of cooldown changes
- Grim corruption and Slow Death Strikes combo tiers now share cooldowns (example: using GCIII will put also put cooldown on GCII)

Grim corruption
a) it applies snare
b) it applies debuff. Debuff type is dependant on stance in which GC is applied.

Feat changes

Lotus tree
a) Flesh rot - adding points will also add damage to corrupted backlash, it is instant now, can be used while moving (upgraded)
b) Blindside - it now deals more damage and drains more stamina from your target (upgraded)
c) Lotus weapon - it now always proc, does more damage (upgraded)
d) Swift ending - it now proc sooner (uprgraded)
e) Lotus overdoes - it no longer applies any penality (upgraded)
f) Furry of blows - longer duration (uprgaded)
g) Assassination - bigger bonus (uprgaded)
h) Corrupted body - it adds protection bonus on damage (reworked)
i) Curse of Lotus - limited to 12 targets, no casting time, instant (upgraded)

Corruption tree
a) Unholy Strenght - it adds 5% damage intead of 10% (nerfed)
b) Life leech - it heals more (upgraded)
c) Unholy armor - gives 50% bonus to your armor (changed, nerfed)
d) Death’s gaze - it is instant now (upgraded)
e) Avatar of death - duration is 15s now from 20s (nerfed)
f) Seeds of corruption - it applies debuff for HP regeneration, if GC is used the seeds will “explode” and deal instant damage (reworked)
g) Lunge - it now adds 70% weapon damage, 20s cooldown (reworked)
h) Burden to bear - applies armor debuff, more points give higher chance to proc (changed)
i) From the darkness - it stuns, captures soul shard (changed)

General tree
a) Quick recovery - adds stamina regeneration (reworked)
b) Excellent balance - needs only 1 point, 1 m cooldown (changed)
c) Lethality - adds weapon damage, poor choice for assassins (new)
d) Agile mind - it is now clickable, each point added reduces its cooldown from 9 to 3 (reworked)
e) Ambush - it no longer gives damage boost (nerfed)

Combos usefull in PVP and PVE
Swift Strikes are still our bread and butter,
Slow Death Strikes deal a lot of damage,
Grim Corruption mainly debuffs target

How to use combos in typical PVP/PVE encounter
1) Apply debuff (Grim corruption)
2) Apply slow death strikes
3) Use swift strikes

PVE Leveling speccs

Lotus/general - snurl.com/n7hpp

Corruption/general - snurl.com/n7hr7
note: when close to lvl80 feel free to drop second wind for from the darkness

There haven’t been any great changes to assassins. It safe to say that your experience and “feel” of this class will remain mostly unaffected in 1.5.

Warhammer online trick: Make 130 gold as newbie

Get the salvaging skill, and go to any craft supply merchant.

The merchant there sells Shattered Figurine for 18 copper.

You can then salvage these into Silent Essence which sell for 50 copper.

Its not much money, but for low levels on a new server, it’s a fairly easy way to get a few gold.

You can make about 5.4 gold an hour, or 130 gold a day.

Warhammer online trick: Lost Vale - Skip Gorak

The barrier that that separates Gorak and The Worldbearer can be bypassed without fighting Gorak. It is just possible to jump to the rock on to the left of the barrier on the waterfall, and then jump up onto the stairs. It is a difficult jump, but if just one healer makes it, the rest of the party can be ressed up from the top ledge after pulling and wiping to some mobs.

Aion, another world of warcraft to virtual currency industry?


It’s a coincidence I met the buyback manager from www.swagvault.com/index.php?ref=2946and get a mini interview with him. For privacy he won’t let me show his real name.
Q: We know the first beta event in USA and Europe was quite popular, do you have a general timeline of how long Closed Beta will last before we see open beta?
A: I’m afraid I can’t really go into the exact schedule as of this writing. But there will be more Closed Beta events coming after this first one. The Open Beta should be this fall, not too far after the summer (definition of ’summer’ evidently varying depending on where you live). Shanda (Nasdaq: SNDA) had opened a total of five server farms with 80 server groups for its licensed western fantasy MMORPG AION by April 9.
Q: Some players said they hope Aion or some other MMOs challenge WOW’s throne. What’s your opinion?
A: AION is one of the most anticipated games in China and has been recognized by gamers as the next generation in online games. It’s true WOW does a very good game at decent graphics on decent hardware. It’s basically a game to appease to “everyone”. According to Pearl Research, Aion marks the successful return of South Korean MMORPGs to the Chinese market after a brief respite period, during which local Chinese-developed MMORPGs dominated. Blizzard got extremely lucky with WOW (they’ve admitted to this). We can only predict Aion may act as a substitute if some players are tired of WOW in the future.
Q: Are you playing Aion?
A: Sure. As a buyback manager who should be a player first, right? Do you want to play it? Our website swagvault.com is giving away Aion CN free accounts to western players for fun. If you are interested, I can send you a couple. AHAHA… Sounds like AD.
Q: You said you play Aion, can I regard that you indicate Swagvault will sell Aion gold or power leveling soon?
A: You got a sharp nose. It’s not a secret in Virtual industry that many websites are selling Aion CN gold, time card and power leveling, so I think Aion US and EU gold sales sooner or later.
Q: It’s a stale and annoy question to you that many game developers think virtual industry is not legal and many people blame the companies like yours. What do you think about it?
A: In the real life, supply and demand decide the market. It’s same to Virtual industry. Many players need gold, power leveling service to support their game experience, so we served. It’s fair trade. Some developers said we destroy the balance of game. Is really being balance if there is no virtual currency sales company? No, absolutely not! If the virtual industry can destroy the game balance, I only have to say your game is too weak. Some players enjoy playing by themselves to get success, but some players have not enough time to play game all the time, but they want to catch up with their teams. Can you say they must play by themselves or let their teams hold on to wait for him or her? In the real life we call on Freedom, but in game, we prefer autarchy? No, we also need freedom. Who needs gold or power leveling who pays. It’s free transaction.

Scenarios are better than Orvr

 

Yesterday I decided to only do scenarios, and skip Orvr. It was a refreshing change from the join a warband, listen on vent, follow the zerg which is how most of my time lately has been. It becomes very boring, and the scenarios were fun even if we were being slaughtered.

I queued up solo, and kept to myself the whole day. I found myself having alot more fun. I died alot, but it didn’t matter. There is something about the small scale rvr which is more challenging, and fun.

In scenarios you feel like you know who you are fighting. You are actually able to use all of your spells, and strategize a little. Orvr is just 24 people aoeing until one side wins, and on Dark Crag it is usually always about 100 vs 100.

The renown is so much better in scenarios too. I don’t have to split it 100 ways which most of the time means 1 renown per kill where in scenarios I was averaging about 3.5k renown per scenario. Orvr has bonuses for locking zones, but you factor in the time spent in a zone it isn’t worth it really compared to what you can earn in a scenario.

I just wish I could do scenarios all the time with a small premade. It just seems like no one is interested in doing it. At least Reikland Factory is coming up again to collect resources to see who gets Land of the Dead content first so that should be a week or so of fun.
