DarkQuill Wrote:^ Edge Carnival also apparently adds 8 "Assassination Points".
It's not that, it's the way the skill is used, especially now that BoT is gone. You rush all these enemies into a group, and then... what? Meso Explosion is the only other mobbing move for 3rd job, and Steal is impractical. From something that was improved several times to help you do damage while avoiding getting hit into a clunky (and imo, unnessecary) rush move that shoves a bunch of enemies into your landing destination, it should be obvious why people are upset with this change.
The teleporting, the stuns, and the def pierce - all at once - is what made Assaulter such a good skill.
I don't know I never used assaulter for anything other than getting a cliff or area faster that i couldn't normally reach. I rarely used assaulter for stun or even attacking. The new assaulter has some invincibility frames so you should not be hit if you would use boomerang step right after it.
