First off, I would like to say that Loveless's recruiting post was brilliant. That said, without some support to a beginner such as myself, I will be forced to make a Mage to make money. I am better and love it as an Assassin Cross.
I looked for strategies for the longest time, practicing techniques and switching many, many gears with /bm mode. I had to be sure to have Royal Jellies and Blue Pots on hand, which many players don't. As an Assassin (which won't take long at all), I can help kill individual targets (not like SinX), or slow the opposing teams with simply a Cursed Arrow equipped.
I work hard to find a use for what appears to be a useless and under geared character.
When I actually do reach SinX... well, people will die. All the time. I can't believe none of the Sonic Blow builds these days are smart enough to incorporate VIT instead of AGI and use Bloody Roar. Most Assassins are like, 'OMG Infiltrator[1] is the end all, I'll never change gears!" Yeah, I use it... on targets I know won't have great defense.
Fact is, most players are well upgraded, and the wings also add a DEF factor. Now... if I got a Thanatos card... (*drool*, dream on) then I probably wouldn't need the Bloody Roar. I don't expect to get one.
So... with a little help, (Stiletto, Pantie, Undershirt, Elemental Jurs or Endows) I will be an Assassin instead of wasting my time with a Wizard...
...and be your soldier; another beast.
Thanks for reading~; it's a long post. Hope I didn't sound too weird ranting about Bloody Roar.
See you in game!
