As I said, if you've seen assassins used effectively, more detailed explanation would be appreciated. As you've noticed, most people here don't think that assassins are as bad as you make them to be. Alternatively, you could just start using assassins yourself - most people here wouldn't expect them, so it could end up working really well.
Judging by the other thread, I'm quite certain that he is referring to having remote spells spammed at him repeatedly.

Thank you for your input. It's both actually but I've had it before, don't think this is a rant about "omg someone is using a 1337 spell and i'm losing" It's not. I'm winning and if i'm not going to end top 2nd (if there is such a thing in dom3) is 100%. This was a 5 player game also. Exactly your point about normal assasins but the other thread is about how assasination attempts (spells or otherwise) is handelled. I still kill every other Earth Elemental but the things i'm mentioning (in the other thread) happens it makes me not want to play dom3 (even if i'm winning) because it feels broken.

Anyway this thread has nothing to do with assasins so can we go back to the orginial point
