Hello. I have a Rogue that I was planning to make into an Assassin (I already have his 5 steelie sets), but I felt more like making a Sindit because they seemed funner. However, as I am poorly funded (15mil, shared between 5 characters), I was wondering: Should I make an Assassin, make a Bandit and sell the steelies, or just explode the character?

EXPLOSION! xD Jk, if you believe you'll enjoy the SinDit path better, you can just sell the Steelies and instead get Icicles and a decent Atk Glove. xD

[quote] louie10133 : sins r BORING [/quote] I've seen these three words so many times that I don't even bother proving it wrong. And don't give me the "you need to try a bandit first" crap, because my bandit's level is higher than yours. Sins are not boring. Dits are not boring. The thief section needs to get some common sense.

Bandit. Your sin will just be heavily outdamaged by every other damage-driven sin. It pains me when people hate on me for past injustices they have faced.

[/quote] If you think of it that way remember that your Bandit will be outdamaged by everything that's not a Bandit. XD Our DPM for the time being isn't high.

[/quote] Not to mention that some of the bandit community is very competative range-wise. Dont know how many times I've been asked my range now o.o

See what I did there? As to which you should choose. You could make a Sindit to begin with and test it out to see if there's one side or other you prefer. You could also check out some vids on youtube or the like to see if either of them stands out specifically to you or looks more fun. Both classes have their ups and down, though truthfully sins are probably overall the "better" class in terms of damage/bossing/etc, but I've enjoyed my Bandit for 134 levels now, so it's obviously not that bad. ^.~

If you don't have much money go with the sin because you'll be spending millions on mesos expolsion in the higher levels. My friend said he spent at least 200m total on mesos explosion on his lv 91 dit.

I didnt even spend more then 30m in the old days of gobie bombing to get from 74 to 87. Your friend must have just been chucking his money out a window or something. Edit: like said below, its optional, Bot is a very strong mob move(for its speed).

You only spend as much on ME as you ~want~ to spend on ME. It's not our main attacking skill except for (maybe) bossing or if you decide to ME train.

My friend said he spent at least 200m total on mesos explosion on his lv 91 dit. [/quote] Obviously your friend didn't bomb Elder Wraiths. I've accumulated about 600 soiled rags (more, but checking is long) through levels 77-84, and sell them for about 50k a pop. Now, considering the fact that it took 100 bombs to level up (was using 2x) and I drop 14k per bomb through 10 bags, that's 1.4mil a lvl, and 9.8mil throughout those levels. I sell my 600 soiled rags for 50k each, making me about 30mil. thats 20.2mil PROFIT through training alone. I'm earning money through blowing it up. Oh the irony. OT: I say go for Dit, simply because the training in 3rd job is a bit more varied, and you don't need huge funds to do great damage when you're bombing, and those levels literally fly by. Swap to Typhons at about 8X and your training is stupidly fast.

I suggest making a bandit. They require less funding and they are equally as fun as assasins.
