> From what i've noticed, theres about a handful if that many who can almost assassinate barely 25% of the times they try.
> Just cause you get assassinated doesn't automatically demand a lag on this or that.. Same could be said about power word kill, Double backstab, Rot, Wither, nearly if any lag on any of those..yet all are powerful.
Wrong. PWK, double bs, rot, and wither all lag the user, and make them fight a couple rounds. (Obviously excepting successful PWK's, though those still lag the caster a bit. Try PWKing 3 or 4 people in a row if you don't believe me.)
> Assassinate Takes TIME which many of you don't know or realize..
Wrong. Actually, anyone who has read the helpfiles is pretty clear on this. "Many" would imply that there is a big population of people who are in PK range of level 35 assassins, but don't know the most basic things about the skill.
> A Assassin who stalks on a consistant basis spends nearly 30mins minimum tracking someone.
Wrong. It's less, and works OK with less than 30 minutes. It's not like 30 minutes is a guarantee, either. It's better, but it might fail.
> It just doesn't happen at the snap of the finger..though it seems like it does ..when actually the assassin has been stalking the piss out of you.
> This ain't no bitch an moan monday, so quit cring about it.
> oh, an by the way, assassinate and flee doesn't Always work as well as you think. barely even 50% of the time.
If it worked 10% of the time, without consequences for failure, that would be 10% too much. It would be nice if the assassin was forced to hang around for two rounds when they screw up the assassination, that's all.
