This "Skill" is nothing more than the coward seeing the cheapest opportunity to strike nothing more, real skill not included in that video.

I guess you are right.
However I don't think that's a smart way to pvp in Aion as an assassin because they are pretty squishy to fight someone 1on1
I consider this Assassin as a skillful one because he's using everything to his advantage and minimizing his weaknesses.........
But I'm against griefing newbs.....

I hope he was like 5+ levels higher than them...

Strategic cultures differ.

Yes, this in many is considered skill, the skill to choose the proper opponent at the right time in the right place.

This is a PvP game with PvP specific areas. If you are in these areas you should know your a target and fair game. Personally I think it takes great skill and confidence to go into a grp of enemies and start attacking classes you can take out and make it out alive. Attacking someone while at a shopkeeper...not so much, but its the game mechanics. Dont hate the player, hate the game

Ganking soft targets withing a group of over a half-dozen and managing to run and survive requires ALOT of skill, timing your evasion/resist skills and bookin' it away.

That entire video was just for laughs, and easy Abyss points.

imo.
either way, the sin was made like this and it still takes "skill" to master ones class. (no matter what class it is)

+all classes can pvp(gank) like this, it's not just sins.

/g'day.

Vid was okay at the start, but all that footage of him going in and ganking those people in that group, those guys had to be lower level than him. Sins are so squishy, there is no way your gonna go into the middle of a group thats your level and survive, with out using your 3000 dp stealth skill. But he easily got away every time, and he even stood there and took on that gladiator for a few seconds, with all those people beating on him he survived? Lol low levels.

Funny how he kept killing there dead though lol, you think they would've caught on after a while

Just because they can doesn't mean they should...

I assume those outside the temple instance to be from 30s to 38s.. So he should be at least 5 levels higher than the groupies

Nonetheless, it's doesn't affect his earning of AP since AP earning is based on Abyss Rank rather than character levels.......

Carebear frame of mind.

Stealth or sneaking is an awesome game-element in pve.
It's really fun to sneak around mobs, do quests, get to hard-to-reach places, etc.

But in pvp, it's pretty lame. I guess if you play in an arena-type of environment it's OK. But in the so-called "world pvp" stealth is causing more frustation for the players who get ganked than it's worth for the people doing the ganking. Game developers should make stealth in pvp extremely weak.

And I've played a rogue in WoW since day one of european retail ....

[Elegy]

This thread can be summed up with this pic on how all that was done...



Fairly good video though... Dakota has some skillz

I am many things, but unlike most it seems, I have a sense of honor and respect when it comes to my massacring...

I don't get my lulz spawn camping level 5's in the noob town, and if that makes me a carebear then add it to the list...

There are no "Fair Fights" to an Assassin.
