Snipers is a DoF specialty u get at lvl 58.......Devs have stated these will not ever be upgraded Assassinate was our class defining spell we got at lvl 50.....upgraded to decaptitate at 70 Your rain line is the class equivalent
No its not, rain is the equivilant of AE's.. AE's are pretty much ballanced, assassins get higher damage with AE's on raids, rangers in group due to burst. Dont try and push this point again without proof, go to the post about "the gap" - read the second post.
I really don't understand the justification of comparing a level 70 spell with a level 58 one... The two skills were not designed to be equivalent in terms of progression and attainability, that much is obvious. The thing to keep in mind is that the Ancient skills were designed in DoF and are not part of the regular progression. Comparing one aspect of the Ancient system to one aspect of the regular system will never yield useful information. None of the Ancient skills have direct equilavents as were they designed to be unique to each class. But you can say that each class' set of Ancient skills should be comparable to the set of Ancient skills for another class. Message Edited by Sokolov on 07-19-2006 06:49 AM
You can make the argument that since assassins get 2 AEs, we get 2 AEs, but one of ours is our special level 50 line that something is messed up. But that is separate from Sniper's Shot. Rain may hit harder but it has a longer refresh, so it's not truly better than the 2nd assassin one.
