Are assassins pointless to use in PvM?
The main reason many people say this is because they are not used to the effort you actually have to use as an Assassin to kill monsters. Most of the players out there are too used to killing monsters in the shortest amount of time with those big damage skills. Whereas the “top three classes” (Sorceress, Barbarian, Amazon) only need to use one or two skills to easily defeat monsters, Assassins players have to use their head and use many skills in their arsenal.
