Assassins and Shadows are probably the most balanced class. Wow, I can't believe this crap nerf rage thread is back

No it isn't, because everything he mentions applies to level 50.

I can giggle with delight while interrupting tracer missles. I can somewhat counter a Marauder with force slow / speed, 2 second root, etc, etc.. I have no counter for a Tank Assassin (again, i don't want to forget this caveat, that is well played and in DPS gear).

I get kited by good players all the time it's all about picking and choosing ur fights and knowing when CD's are up or down in a fight.

That's true, very true. I do have 2 level 50s though and I tried the kiting strat on my powertech. Doesn't work because of the reasons I mentioned above.

I'm still learning a lot about assassins so I am by no means an expert, but all those factors I mentioned above make it just as impossible to kite them at level 50. The only way to peel them is knocking them off the ramps in huttball because of no charge (of course they might pull you if you're not careful. I forgot to mention pull in my "you can't kite them ramble")

If "balanced" means has every tool needed to dominate everyone else in PVP OR are balanced against their mirror class, then yes, I concede your point.

As always, this is in reference to DPS geared Tank assassins / shadows.

By what class? I'm honestly curious, not trying to be snarky, because you can't kite them with a powertech and even though my assassin is low level I've yet to be kited with even half of my CDs up.

Its a game of cat and mouse counter punches and constant movement. I am gonna try to you must try to keep closing getting away its a harder fight not impossible. Kiting is a skill once mastered ur hard to beat and a pain in the arse force pull has a long cd for a 1 on 1 fight.

I mean really, this thread is redundant, because as you and every other tankassin in dps gear knows...
...the nerf bat is coming for you, regardless of outcry.

Because ratings ARE coming eventually. The facts / numbers / ratings will bear it all out. What will it be then? That only the Tankassins / Tankshadows are the good players in this game?

Nerfbat is coming for you guys, like it or not and your adamant denial just adds incentive for everyone to point and laugh when it comes your direction.

Higher when in stealth because of the surprise facter and less when out of stealth because of being exposed to every one. That would cure a lot of the OP and still give them a burst damage to keep them happier then being nerfed into the dirt.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that most mobs are tanked out of stealth. <.<
