#70131, "We tell newbs to play assassins."


          

I appreciate this approach, but with PBFs being a small subset of players, the sample is just too small and not representative.

After playing many shifters and thieves, I rarely die to assassins. Shifters can always get away from an assassin and I don't stay in one place long enough to be assassinated when there's an assassin on.

As a thief, if they are tranced, I'm not fighting them and unless they perma lag me, I'm gone. But, we're talking about post trance/edge assassins being OP (and maybe ground control). So, I've killed plenty of assassins pre those things.

Considering the options for dealing with a class you think is OP are many (avoid, befriend, logout, adjust play time, flee, gank, play one yourself, etc.) and cannot be documented in a PBF, I think that common sense, theory-craft and experience are needed when evaluating assassins.
