Is there any proof that spamming assasinate is stronger than tt? I heard someone posted it around here, but I can't find it.

IceColdShield said: " I remember either on the thread this chart came from or else a related one, the calcs were done with the L7/TT formula base for NLs. Edit: To me the calcs even fit in with most other calcs, since without SE and Apples, NLs only outDPM on single-targets against Shads, Bucs, AMs, Bishops, Pure PA DrKs, and Pally on Neutrals. So even if there was a mistake in calc'ing NL DPM, it still fits into other calcs I've seen." Those calculations are DPS, by the way. Just multiply to get DPM. That's probably why they looked weird to him. If SB + BS is stronger/better than assassinate, and SB + BS is weaker than TT + SE, there's no way in hell assassinate > TT. Ever.

Does it really matter? Both classes have great pros and cons which make them awesome at what they do O_o

I heard from a thread, that Assasinate (No Charge) Spam will have equivilant dmg to TT, in an amount of time. Say for instance one minute, spamming on infinite hp rock.

Shadowers train extremely efficiently once you max all the necessary skills. What I do is, prob what alot of people do, I BS, asssassinate w/o charging, BS, repeat, and i charge assassinate while i wait for the next to respawn. If I have to move around I either jump + SB or Assaulter.

there is no point in charging assassinate unless you are doing it for fun to show off high numbers or if your fighting a boss like pap where it gives you time to charge when he enters into his clock. personally i spam assassinate as much as possible with the BS cancel. it does more damage than having to do 2 SB then BS. how come all the other classes know what shadowers actually use when they are not shadowers themselves?

Because you don't really have to be any class to know how to use one.

Most use assassinate bstep combo when ass is maxed, and when its maxed it can do some good dmg

valint9 said: " You don't HAVE to be a class to know how to use it." Its one thing to know how to use it, its another thing to understand it. and I have no idea on TT vs assassinate, but I do know the DPM on assassinate is better spammed constantly when possible than fully charging

if you spam the DS+assassinate+BS combo, it's even stronger :] like use spam assassinate but use BS as the last hit :]
