Ragnarok Online 2 Which Pet Suitable for Assassin?

Dear Player,

Which type of Pets is suitable for Assassin?


And once you reach Level 50, you can start farming Demian DNA because it gives you crit buff. It's rare though, don't expect you farm in no time.


Im using Sohee for Poison DOT, Dessert Goblins for Crit buff, Skeleton for AGI buffs.. 

Ragnarok Online 2 The Reason Why Melee DPSs are HATED and not needed in GOOD/End Games Partie

Just want to share some thoughts about my experiences in group parties (Normal/RHM).
As you know, each class has a specific task in a party, and the DPS class rogue and assassin are these 2 Primary tasks:
1. Deal Damage QUICKLY -> Party Raid Quicker
2. Deal with MOBS -> Tank will take LESS damage -> Healer heal LESS
3. Take Care of Healer and Range -> Healer survive means Party Survive -> Range (Wiz/Sorc/Ranger) survives means more DPS and AOE

What most Melee DPSs don't understand are these:
4. DPSs are not TANKERS -> Please don't mass rush mobs and aggro boss when that is NOT YOUR JOB
5. DPS not TOP priority for Healer -> Healer take care of MAIN TANK first!

I played a monk and I have been in several parties where Dumb and Dumber/NOOB Rogue/Assassins keep hacking away at bosses even when he is spawning mobs and chasing the healer around getting hassled by them....

To add on to these points:
4. Rogue/Assassins are made of paper (LOW DEF and HP)...and they can be a burden to the party (Healer and Tank) when they are not doging fire and trying to be HERO.
5. Healer needs to Heal the TANK because party needs to stay alive...and TANK at front line tanking the BOSS is TOP Priority
6. Extra TIP: Use POTS to Heal yourself when Healer is BUSY....But DONOT OVERUSE pots as it ADDS AGGRO which might mean you get swarmed...
7. Please do not try to be RAMBO...let the tank take the lead...

Ragnarok Online 2 For real? Thief class that cant steal? No pick pocket skill of ANY sort.

How exactly are the thieves thieves if we don't steal?
In original RO we had steal. Further upgraded by the rogue/stalker class to GANK which procced from auto attacking.

Whats the deal? damage, sure great, whatever. 
We can't rightly be called thieves if we don't steal!

-edit-

Let's try to be constructive here and think of skills that can be done away with in the original thief tree (or perhaps expanded trees) to make room for STEALING.
We're THIEVES for crying out loud.

Quote

Cross impact? Former Assassin Cross skill on basic thief tree? does less dmg than double slash, replace with steal? That way you *CAN* choose to ignore it if you want (most probably do already.) AND for those of us who would like to steal, we can do our 1-5 points in it. Rank 1 steal an item from the target, with a % of rare growing per rank, in pvp disarms players weapon, duration grows per rank. cool down ect ect? Ideas, people!

Ragnarok Online 2 End-game cards for assassin end game set cards

Hi, just want to ask you guys what would be the best cards for assassins during end game. manage to get 5 scratch thief cards normal+ and I'm wondering what would be the next set I need to equip. 

Is it good that I equip 5 aromine normal+ cards or try to get the Aromine, keobi, etc, aromine of abyss card set? Sorry forgot the name of the card set but I believe it gives you Str, Agi and vit if you equip all the cards in the set. 

Any thoughts?

Ragnarok Online 2 Rogues and Assassin's end game ? RHM? It is even possible

Well , hi , I am a level 50 full blue set rogue . My concern is that , for any new players out there that is going to play rogue/assassin , please think twice. During the RHM raid , i already have troubles finding a party. Now after maxing out my blue gears , I CANNOT find a party for arena/raids at all. People don't seem to want rogues and assassins in arena and baph raids because of their squishy hp. And i am wondering if there is any other players facing the same issue as i am, i have been trying to get into a raid for about 2 days , spamming at LFP , nothing. Everyone in my BL has their own "Fixed" raids already. And even so , Whats the end game like? will the level cap increase after OBT? or will we be stuck here trying to find a party forever? . Rogues and assassins discuss. 

Ragnarok Online 2 Poisoning Weapon calculations

I'm planning my assassin build, and I see that everyone keeps the skill at level 1.

I'm currently unsure how the skill works exactly, but judging from numbers:

Level 1 - 10% damage every 2 seconds for 20 seconds = 100% damage over 20 seconds
Level 5 - 15% damage every 2 seconds for 20 seconds = 150% damage over 20 seconds

Isn't a 50% damage boost a big deal? Seeing how most offensive skills are around the 30% damage range.
Or how is that % actually calculated? Is it calculated differently?
Does the poisoning work on all monsters including bosses?

Maybe people are overlooking a very good skill.
