The loner.....An Assassin's sob story

I PvP'd in CoV a lot. That's the only reason I bought the game. The only badges I had went toward bobuses I kept in PvP. I played a stalker, classic assassin type. My build had the highest burst dmg, magnified by the fact that I revolved everything in this build to pump out dmg. I was going for tank killing.

That's to say anything that didn't have uber hp was usually done in 1 hit, maybe 2. So anyway, almost every single time I would kill someone I would catch shit for it. Now I'll be the FIRST to admit, a lot of these kills were "less than honorable." I strongly believe PvP is PvP, you are in a zone with the knowledge that other ppl are out to kill you. That should be the end of it right there, right?

Negative. "WTF?!?!" "backstabbin noob" and the one I love the most "What did you do that for?"

I just don't get it. Anyone who would wanna straight up duke it out 1v1 I'd say ok, but that is only AFTER a hailstorm of "why did you do that, just duel me, blah blah blah."

I might wanna add the PvP zones were lvl teired and you were brought to the highest lvl allowed in the zone when you entered. So there was no killin lowbies. Catching ppl was the hard part. Most ppl know when they stop, they die:D

Morale of the story: If your gonna go out on a heartless PvP rampage, turn your chat box off. That way you can just [i] imagine[/i] them crying that you're a monster instead of actually having to read all about how your the worst player since MMO conception.

To another point, assassins aren't needed. Let's say a tank can kill 10 mobs in.....5 minutes. Good time, steady dmg, doin the tank thang. To take on more, he needs a healer, and a caster is sometimes neccassary. Now as a killin massa', I drop 10 mobs in say, 30 secs. That tank is still fresh and can continue on, where as I just "blew my load."

That being said, the melee DPS class is like an option, a bonus to the party. And being un-needed leads to (admittedly) feeling unwanted. I would sometime have to log as a tank to partake in certain quests with groups.

I just wanna say, to all the lonely asassins out there, I feel you. I personally think a group of sins' can wipe a quest in under half the time a "standard" party could. For some reason they seem rare tho......

All in all it was a fun game though. At least I didn't catch static bragging about killing ppl to my friend who would group with me for that reason alone, he's a friend. :(
