Sin or SM for PvE and PvP

Trying to find out which is better for pve and pvp Sin or Spiritmaster

 

just depends on which one you're able to actually handle. Me myself i prefer an assassin cause im better with a sin. I hate sms, their only good for fearing in a group. If you group pvp alot i'd say go with an sm. But if you do alot of solo like i do then go with a sin. Cause once u fear someone thats all you're needed for.

 

Two incredibly different playstyles.

Spiritmasters are O.K. at pve... but definately not that great.

Assasins are the highest DPS class (in my opinion at least), especially when geared out and played well.



When it comes to PvP though, they are EVEN MORE different!

Spiritmasters focus on crowd control, and dealing damage through multiple sources/slowly. More Dot's than anything really. They are also generally slower than assasins... then again most is generally slower than assasins lolz.

Assasins focus on stuns, silences, blinds, and flurrying a target down with a bassault of attacks. Also, assasins have stealth. Assasins are probably the fastest class in the game. That includes movement speed as well, they get a toggle buff that "generously" drains MP (What I mean by generously is you cna keep it up easily enough!) and boosts speed... no doubt a benifit on the field.


However, it is 100% based on what YOU want to play. I love spiritmasters completely and could never imagine actually going assasin.

 

up to u

 

Aegis is right.

SM are good slows deaths. So to play it effectively u need to utilize ur cc to stay alive. Especially with truck hitting glads, and all melees atm. if you can cc them and learn to tab target fast to stack ur dots on them then u should be great as an sm.

Is not really that slow, but u need to stack good 3 dots to do what one sin, glad, ranger, and sorc can do in few seconds.

Debuffing is probably ur best arsenal also.

With sin i do not know much about them, I know they can keep u cc with stuns when u are not rolling with magic resist gear and as sm we will get tear apart easily.

Sin also have stealth which enables them to have first move most of the time. which in most cases in fast pvp world is usually win.

hope what i add help and gl.
