Winning Thunderhead Keep mission at master level solo with only henchmen was one of the craziest, most exhausting hours I've played in a video game.

I think I'm going to pick up Factions on the way home anyway. Assassins look fun in those videos.

I haven't played my Assassin in ages and their PVE skills have been upgraded a fair bit since then. Back when I did play though they were pretty ordinary in PVE (very squishy for a close range fighter) but they were unholy assrape terror in PvP. Rangers were the only class I ever had problems with one on one.
That's another thing. Anyone who's ever played an "archer class" in an MMO and not liked them needs to play a GW Ranger, 100 kinds of kickass.
Some days I spent more time watching top matches on Observer mode than I did playing my own char. Learnt huge amounts watching crazy Korean killers play.
