Thank you Try2Handing,
Good input! I agree with your comment.
I don't think they have over-balanced it, it's more of a waiver for the future:)
Stabbey,
Yes, that's why i stated, "about the same" or "roughly the same" which you can see clearly in my text
You are not understanding what I am writing, and you are arguing with something I have not said. I will try to clarify for you. I do not know what changes were made to assassinate and I assumed they were well executed, but if you say they were not I believe you. If you are right that is another argument for not intervening.. it can ruin more than it fixes
If certain skills are considered the best for a given situation other similar skills are deemed less viable. Now hopefully most skills serve a purpose or can be niche skills at the least, but I can't say I mind some gimmicky skills. It adds to the world if well executed. It is when the developers go the extra mile you have a game like this.
It is balanced compared to the other weapons.. however, I agree with you and I stated that balancing with story is a good way to go and in my mind the weapon should probably be stronger
Stabbey, I feel you are acting contrarian and arguing for the sake of arguing with these statements. I have made my case, this is how I feel about it and you are not qualified to change my mind.
