Remedial Assassination

[BrinLondo]

So I re-speced my Rogue and achieve Assassin II.

I don't think I've assassinated anything. In combat I still do my impressive, but not entirely respected by all, damage; but seemingly no assassination.

I've soloed in explorer areas. I've crept on critters and attacked--no assassination. I've crept up, come out of sneak, and attacked--no assassination.

Now in reading some of the forums, some have talked about a "jump out of sneak mode" approach. Others about a combo with another melee character...

Long story short--I don't know how to assassinate. I'm using a vorporal and I at least get a graphic/coloring when that goes off, but how do I know when I've assassinated?

What am I missing?

If you go into your enhancements tab on your character sheet, scroll down to assassin II, and click on it, you should find a skull icon named assassinate. Get into stealth mode, make sure you're close enough, and click that to assassinate :)

Hate to point out the obvious, but - since your post was a little confusing - are you using the actual "assassinate" ability? You have to drag it from your enhancements tab in your character sheet. You can only use it while in stealth mode.

tier 3 is Auto vorpal on 20's. Assassinate is a proc attack like cleave,trip, stun, need I go on.

I think khaldan and mindlessdrone1991 are on to it.

You have to drag the assassinate icon/button to a hotbar and click it when next to the enemy.

Ok...so there is a clicky for it. Thanks. That must've been what I've been missing. Thanks for the pointers.

+1 rep for the incongruous thread title. LOL

By the way, I've finally figured out how to Double Assassinate again. It's very... bizarre.

Find two targets... aim at first target, Assassinate, wait 1 second and face second target, and it will miraculously fall over dead without anything touching it. :rolleyes:

Tragic, but it's not so bad as they will meet at the closest bind point and can grab a quick Dirty Kobold while discussing what happened ("Did you see what killed me?" "Nope" "Hmm, maybe that overripe halfling I ate gave me food poisoning") before commuting back to their dungeon.

Yeah, I found that out by mistake as well.

Also, the old technique of centering yourself between two targets will often result in ZERO assassinations.

Very strange.

Combat: You were killed by something.

+1 rep... that was hilarious :)
