Hi, I'm Snarf, and this is my assassin guide.

Ah, I see your point.

I was being honest, i was in no way saying you're bad, i've never played with/against you so i can't make that judgement, your tips on fighting pros is setting up a lunge grapple, when they know you're there, the assassin is never supposed to fight, ever, it's common sense.

I'll finish off anyone because my speed permits it. If I see someone within lunge range I will go for it. Not head on of course, which is the problem of many assassins out there. All classes are expected to fight, just unfairly.

when i think fight, i think a head on battle, not a sneak attack or anything like that.

Sneak attack critical for 4x damage! :ugeek:

Fighting doesn't mean your opponent is fight back.

I'm pretty sure I made it clear that you're not going to win a fight unless you get the drop on them.

If they do know you're there, but the fight just started, you can get away with still going at them for a few seconds until they get a good sense of what's going on. I never just sit there and go for a lunge grapple until I get it. I try...if it's obvious they are still disoriented, I'll try again. Then I bomb away and either eject them or run.

Saying the the Sniper, Assassin, Support and Assault are OHKs with the knife is incorrect.

The Assault can survive with a Silver or Gold armor.

Not a back grapple unless they are overhealed.

assault WILL survive a dagger backgrapple with gold/silver armor. overheal or not.

The Support can as well, with Gold Armor and the Health upgrade. Not sure about Silver Armor though, I would guess not.

Are you sure about this? I've played a lot of assassin, and I have never come across an assault to survive a back grapple with the dagger unless he was overhealed. Maybe I'm just not coming across a lot of gold/silver armor assaults.

I know for a fact, with gold armor, an assault can survive a dagger backgrapple.

gold armor is my standard build, and i know for a fact that i have survived backgrapples. i feel like silver may work as well, but i cant say for sure.

Heh, well damn. I guess I don't know this because I never really go for kills until I have my sword

I've had an Assault survive a back grapple with my sword. Though he may have turned around before I initiated the grapple. Either way, I was very annoyed.

Damn dude, you write one of the best guides ever, and all the comments are talking about stupid things that aren't even important. I love this guide. I found it just after writing my own, and you hit all my points an much much more. Amazing work <3 Hydra.

If you liked that guide, you should really check out the collection of strategy guides sticky'd to this section.

Well needed bump.

I haven't read this one yet.....I did I play that badly today
