> I guess my first question is this, Why do thieves get a skill that allows them the chance at 100% lagging an entire fight, and warriors get a number of them, but assassins get none? The trite answer would be to say that assassins are different and you might as well ask why warriors don't have a way to instantly kill someone (disembowel being kind of a different thing). The best answers I can give you are: 1) No one character in the game has a method of total command denial that can't be defended against in some way. If they did, mages/communers would be terrible. 2) Assassins have a *lot* more versatility (imho) than any single warrior or thief. Classes need to balance in some way. > 2) My second question is related to the first. I have heard a rumor that mountain storm kick and rising pheonix kick lag. I have heard people say it lags enough to 100% lag someone, See above. I will say that these skills have at least some potential for command delay/denial. That's as much as you're getting from me.
