Seriously assassins?

Assassin here, just got 13 medals >300k damage in Void Star. Quit crying, learn to play your class.

uhh assassin is more like an enhance shaman not really pure stealth class, more about sustained damage then burst...was there design ...hence why there stealth tree may not be what you wanted... if you want pure burst stun filled class ala the rogue you may be much happier with an operative.

Anyone who looks closely at your snapshot can plainly see the other 2 assassins specs struggling to keep pace with you, on both sides, yet you alone somehow manage to 300k as a tank? Please smells of another Republic squad rolled on some unbalanced server with your own pockey healer. Next time try to play a spec that takes skill.

You're a tank, of course you welcome a buff, if anything it looks like tanks need to be toned down and the other two trees reworked. You casually claim to have tried the others and say it's ok, right ok champ. The picture proves you are a liar.

Matter of fact 13 medals is impossible for a strict dps pigeon holed spec, but that's ok you're an OP tank right? So how how did it feel rolling another pug Republic team?

I play Deception, not Darkness. You can clearly see I have Surging Charge activated on the left side. Hate to break it to you man, but Assassin survivability is just fine. So is our damage. 13 medals, 300k damage, Deception spec breaks your argument. Also, look at the healing done for all the healers. I had no pocket healer, there wasn't even a healer in the game. Everyone has sub 75k heals. At least look at the picture before you try and form an "argument".

EDIT: I also wasn't in a premade. My guild went to reroll Republic for more action in Ilum and while they are busy leveling their Republic characters I get the intense satisfaction from solo queueing and getting teamed up with bads like you, who apparently can't play their class so they make QQ threads.

Incorrect. Sins/Shadows have the highest burst potential in the game. Please stop making these threads: THERE IS 0 NERFS HAPPENING. You are qqing for absolutely no reason.

The sky certainly isn't falling, but the class isn't running as much defensive ability or group utility in dps specs any more. I think that counts as a nerf. I also find your claims that the class is capable of the highest burst questionable, as I doubt you have information to support that claim. The burst is definatly strong, but it takes a fair amount of setup and can be pretty easily healed through at levels of equal gear in between that setup, not to mention easy to see coming and defend against or negate with proper cd management.

If you weren't charge swapping in combat to guard a focus'd healer, or help your healer heal you through sustained damage, I'm sorry but I don't know what to tell you other than if you have played enough with a team there are more than enough opportunities to show skill by doing this.

It was some fun dynamics of the dps spec that are being removed which is sad, because I now find the class not only less useful to the group via the utility guard presented, but also less viable as a team-based offensive dps due to vulnerability to assist training. I know I will certainly find the class less fun to play after these changes are implemented.

My biggest question is why aren't dps powertechs and juggernauts also being changed to reflect the hit to utility and defense that dps assassin is losing?

I also find your claims that the class is capable of the highest burst questionable, as I doubt you have information to support that claim and I find the actual damage comparable to many other classes. The burst is definatly strong, but it takes a fair amount of setup and can be pretty easily healed through at levels of equal gear in between that setup, not to mention easy to see coming and defend against or negate with proper cd management. (Not that I have a problem with it, as I feel the strength of the burst is pretty high in the right settings i.e. against undergeared players and players being controlled by other melee dps or tanks or ranged characters providing assist dps).
