Assasin v Warrior Damage

[Static_Green]

So am I understanding this correctly, warrior damage is the damage we do when we are not being stealthy and sneaky.. have to put points into it in order to fight well? Or does assasin damage do enough on it's own?

[Ficelle]

Warrior is to fight with equiped weapon, warrior skills, light / heavy melee atacks...etc

Assassin is to...assassinate, uses the broken spear as weapon and most skills only work if undetected
Not really good in open field, but huge damage (if specced for it...) on unsuspecting targets

As far as I know assassin damage is what you do with assassination and critical assassination attacks from stealth, and Hero Strike. Warrior damage is what you do in an open fight. It seems like warrior and hunter damage can be changed to elemental damage, but I'm not exactly sure how this all stacks with various engravings, armor penetration, and such.

assassin damage is only when your hiden and the abilities ,warrior is when they see you but if you want stealth go ahead but for the battles i should go for warrior abilities

Assassinations are based off the Assassin damage, for skills IF the skill is under assassin it's for assassin, if it's under warrior its for warrior. If it's under hunter it's for hunter. Not hard.

Hunter damage.

Ok , so my gear (spec) is assasination (Sanke Set). Does me no good out in the open when fighting is what you are telling me. 1v1 fights I can handle, it's when more than one jump in the frey with me.

The ideal specs seem to focus on 2 types of damage at a time. That way when one fails, you have a backup plan. Also, Hero Strike (I think it's called) is an assassin attack that works in combat, so a heavy focus on assassin damage would use that to finish off a survivor of an attempted assassination before they call for help, or supplement your in-combat damage.

I tend to focus on assassinate and warrior, so when something survives an attack, I can hold my own in a fight.

Assassination damage is not used when you broke your stealth cover.

When you are ganged, that means all damage is calculated via warrior damag except when you pull out the bow

Snake Set is great when you dump the whole 6 points into poison damage, instead of fire which is for the Agamemnon Set. I found a weapon that deals full poison damage and the Snake has been doing me really great.

Some suggest that fire warrior build deals better DPS, I just don't find it particularly interesting over poisoning.

You can fire-stunlocking a mercenary till he dies. Meaning he keeps "dancing" on the spot while you arrow him to death. You cant do that with poison.

If I'm to look for that easy way out, I would rather perform a critical assassin hit on him/her first then engage the fight. Or better yet, pay the damn bounty.

I 100%'d the game on nightmare and got all the achievements using an assassination build so it's viable. Crit assassination and then hero strike kills even polemarchs before being detected. It is also great to use rush assassination as you can hit up to 4 enemies before being out of stealth and then a 5th with hero strike though it's some times buggy on animals. I had a lot of points in warrior for spartan rage as you cannot die when it is active and it lasts a long time. I couldn't use the fire weapons on nightmare mode as I too often started myself on fire by standing next to enemies I ignited and insta died.

spartan kick, shield breaak, hero strike, pulls out bow devastating shot. Sprinkle some dodge inbetween for extra flavours. Mmmmmmm chain invincibility smells good =P
