Over at TenTonHammer.


Ten Ton Hammer: While combat is important in AoC, there has also been an emphasis placed on stealth and guile as well, which the Assassin seems to be exceptionally good at. How will the Assassin’s stealth abilities allow him to gain an upper hand in certain encounters?



Evan: As was mentioned before, you are correct that the Assassin is exceptionally good at stealth, and the various advantages thereof.  The Assassin takes full advantage of this, gaining the upper hand by surprising unwary foes and debilitating them before they have time to gain the upper hand.



Given that the Assassin isn’t the most hearty fighter when it comes to getting directly attacked, being able to gain the element of surprise is a large boon for him. If skilled enough in sneaking around his chosen targets, the Assassin also has the ability to perform sneak attacks to further gain an advantage. He also has a number of abilities which have additional properties if used from stealth.

    That's interesting, I wish they released a class preview on main site as well.

    Goto admit the playstyle isn't necessarily my number one preferance, but there are some interesting implementations to read here.

    All I know is i'll be putting points into 'Perception'

    It is kinda interesting, as I read it I got the feeling that they were putting in different flavors from each race to help make your Assassin a little different from the others..

    Like for example you could go all dark skills for a Stygian style assassin or whatever..

     

    Not sure about healing though....
