Class Appreciation Thead

Ok I’ll bite

Mine is a hybrid assassin build. It’s a bit hard to explain simply but to break it down, the things I love the most about it are:

#1 absolutely insane levels of evasion. At full buff you can have over 2k eva with the help from some gears, and can go even further beyond to over 3k eva with the effect of the death blow. Needless to say evading anything in game is not a problem
Magic attacks are nearly invalidated as well. With the class buff, hitting 95% magic evasion with gears isn’t a difficult task at all

#2 it has an awesome DoT (poison dmg). It really brings the class to life in an archetypical way as many real life assassins as well as assassins from other games tend to use poisons and toxins to complete their mission.
In game though poison can be used in combo to increase overall dps or be used as a way to employ a hit-and-run tactic because poison is one of the few ailments that actually can kill in this game. With certain equips, 200k-250k poison damage is easy as pie

#3 is what assassins are famous for in Iruna... backstab! The og “one punch” skill. People are constantly pushing the dps limits of this skill, and the potential is higher than ever. Beyond just dmg, backstab has the chance to stun under certain conditions giving utility beyond dps... but let’s be honest the dps is what everyone comes for 😝


Overall it plays exactly like you’d expect an assassin to play; a threat lurking in the shadows. Silent, precise, deadly. By the time you have a chance to fight back, it’s probably already too late. IMO it’s the ultimate rogue class in Iruna and a whole lot of fun!
