Look, I f'ucking hate Assassins/Hermits/NLs for obvious reasons. But if I had to choose between these two failure classes, it'd have to be assassin simply because they're more fun. Having played both classes, it's not hard to say that assassins are simply better in pretty much every aspect other than uniqueness. People make WKs to be 'unique' or something; not because of damage, leveling speed, advantages, etc. Advantages? wat?
WKs take pride in their characters and strive to be oMg uneique! If you want to have some power and not be just as uNiqeu! then you make a 2H Sword WK. But seriously, don't make a WK. Even if you plan on making it to Paladin, and then some, don't make a WK. inb4flame.
Assassins really f'ucking strong even without the 3 billion mesos in funding. You'll do the most damage in first and second job, you'll do the most in 3rd job. You'll be wanted in parties and you'll also be harassed for being a star-throwing fakface.
Can we make suggestions?
Assassins are weak ass in 1st job with barely any funding. They do minimum damage in 1st job, MAYBE slightly better then archers, same damage as archers, worse damage then lukless mages till freaking level 35? And if you're looking at a nice dex build, think in the ~40 range. 3rd job yeah, if you're still horribly funded you do f`ucking pomegranate. Litterally.
I had a level 30 assassin, with these equips DEXLESS by the way.
28 attack Meba
15 dex suana
6 dex raggedy cape
2 dex Black snow sheos
7 attack work glove
Steelys
and some hat with some stats or something.
I did 500/500.
And I did the same damage as this:
Page level 30, 35 base dex
14 dex dragon robe
7 attack work glove
69 mith maul
7 accuracy shoes (maybe not I forgot)
6 dex raggedy cape
and some hat with stats or something
I did 1k damage pretty consistently with power strike.
For sins:
You basically solo 50~80 at voodoos and STDs which is a major pain in the pass then you solo some more at squids or something like that till you get 6 hit avenger AT LEVEL 87. Unless you LMPQ which is boring pomegranate.
Considering I play a hermit which is funded beyond belief (in my opinion), it's boring pomegranate. I rather go back to my page. It required literally 2% of the funding I used on my hermit to become a pretty damn good page.
For Pages:
Again I guess you solo at STDs, but you can mob them which makes then uber EXP. For sins you get constantly KSed for being a sin at voodoos (lol trust me I would F`UCKING know. >_>) Yeah, maybe at level 80 you have to solo some, but you can always train with friends and everything.
I recommend pages. Sure you have to go do some solo levels, but trust me YnP reminds you of the good old days, and well WKs are like crusaders in a mildly different way, until level 75 I guess. Lol.
Also I did a comparison at level 55
My page AaronFTW with the following equips did the same damage as my sin MisterMudkip (known as PikachuDesu) with the equips listed below the pages equips.
92/9 Lion fang
7 accuracy shoes
6 STR 5 dex yellow adventure cape
7 attack 3 dex blue work glove
Zakum helmet 15/15/15/15
7 dex earrings
40 base dex
Sins:
43/7 Sapphire slain
9 attack white work glove
19 dex suana
6 dex 3 attack cape
7 dex BSS
some low base dex
10 dex earrings
and an ass load of steelys.
Whatever...
Sins are only fun with uber funding. Pages are pretty fun with semi funding.
