Talk:Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support

This little guy is pretty handy even at Level 10, though I feel guilty sending hapless Ebon Vanguard to their deaths against Magni the Bison :p In other news, this is a Spell, so you could do Echo-Chain if you wanted. Or perhaps use Signet of Illusions. (T/C) 09:19, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Apparently the assassins now die if they get hit once or gain a condition. Even if they are hit for 1 damage. --74.114.199.139 09:27, 26 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Perhaps they only ever had 1hp in the first place. Reminds me of Pre-Searing Aloe Seed. Still, since they do Shadow Step + Iron Palm, just give them a Condition and they work fine. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 09:33, 26 August 2007 (CDT)


 * I remember using Phantasm on one of those things, it died in somewhere around 1⁄4 of a second :P --Gimmethegepgun 03:40, 27 August 2007 (CDT)


 * While the skill is very, very cool, I find it having 1 hp very bad. A rabbit or even a assassin with BSS could likely kill it. It has the potential to be one of the most powerful skills in the game (remember, it uses a attack chain, it can typically do around 100 damage, just at rank 0) but can also be the weakest offensive spell for 10 energy. I have no idea why the ebon vanguard would employ such weak assassins, it's even more suicidal than Captain Suicide lol. Hopefully A-net may possibly make it have a more acceptable hp before the GWEN goes live, even just 100hp or a ascending hp total with each rank would be very nice.

Where are supposed to be able to get this? Or was it not out in the preview event? 81.156.117.84 07:02, 27 August 2007 (CDT)

Can we get a video of the little fellow :) ~dumazz

I love this skill, does the guy run off to fight other targets when his target dies it is hard to tell since he is so small and lives for 10 seconds at most (for me) at higher levels this could be a funny spike skill 8 players suddenly reinforced by 8 suicidal sins

Surely if they only have 1hp wouldn't protective spirit+Mending make them invulnerable?
 * No, 10% of 1 (rounded up) = 1. I've tried prot spirit at 1 HP, you still get instant deaths.
