About glitched skill

Devil, I can't believe you still think a 18 second charged Assassinate should do more DPS than spamming it. Do you realize how little sense that makes, and what kind of numbers you'd have to be hitting for that to happen? You're not charging the skill, the extra damage is just to make up for the potential damage lost while in Dark Sight. Shadowers are meant to be a fast-paced, melee, comboing class. Assassinate's charge up mechanism is not made to reward standing still in Dark Sight for an extended period of time, you're still encouraged to move on and keep attacking as soon as possible.

As for the first 3 hits not procing crit, I assume that's intended. Sniper's Blizzard doesn't crit with SE either.

If Assassinate's damage formula isn't what Fiel posted, though, I may have to revise my calculations.

First of all, max charge is 12 seconds, 18 seconds was only in 2006... welcome to 2009 m8!

Secondly, I don't agree what you're saying about Assassinate, because:
- In Dark Sight you cant use potions, fighting bosses in solo-mode, it would be a REAL challenge to survive 12 seconds without using potions (with the help of avoid and sshifter) while the bosses are still slamming you with magic attacks.
- If Shadowers were all about fast attack combo's, why did we get a SLOW attack in the first place? Assassinate attacks like 24x per minute... it's plain slow already...
- Assassinate's DPM is crap, and with the Bstep upgrade, Bstep combo's are stronger (yes, stronger!) then Assassinate (4 hits) itself! Only if you combo Assassinate with Bstep it's like 5% stronger then Bstep+Sblow... (aka not very usefull either). If Nexon wants to make Assassinate a usefull skill again, they better increase Assassinate's attacks/min OR make you do more damage while letting it chargeup... Assassinate as it is now, is not made for spamming it for high damage...

Btw, to compare: Snipe itself is already 200k damage per 4 seconds now, and MM can spam strafe inbetween... Assassinate is not even NEAR 200k damage with 4 seconds chargeup, AND we can't even use bstep or any other skills while charging up... So I guess to compensate, Assassinate should be boosted a LOT, but I think this will never happen again, since Nexon just finished rebalancing the skills already...

I guess Assassinate's faith is to become what most people get it for, instant 800k damage pwnage, no other class can do this then Shadowers...

P.S. You don't need to adjust your DPS thread, since Assassinate uncharged is still what you implemented there...
