When do rogues get assasinate?

[Wilhelm]

Is it a discipline? Its not listed on the wiki.

[Tupakk]

60, and it's a backstab proc, no way to control it besides getting a haste item to make it refresh faster.

[Ravager]

You assassinate far more frequently with throwing than you do backstab.

For real?

[Pizoi]

Without having actually looked into it (though I mained a Rogue back in the early 2000's and again here on this server), I'd estimate that the chance per backstab/throw is the same; the difference being that you can throw far more often than you can backstab.

The only caveat is you have to be behind the mob for throw to assassinate, so you can't just kite around throwing shurikens at things hoping for an assassination.

[Swish]

Worth saying that the mob needs to either be 46 or under, or under 46. Good for Wakening Land giant farming but not much practical use really.

That was true on live. Not so here...

Pretty sure its humanoid mobs lvl 46 and below, no constructs n ghosts.

Can assassinate WL giants and some frogloks in seb etc. Best so far on my part is three assassinations innarow

It was that way on live. It isn't coded the same on here. I've seen rogues assassinate mobs over level 50 on p99.

While I haven't spent much time killing lvl 45 and below mobs since I hit level 60, I do not believe this is correct.

The only place I have even seen this proc is while in seb or helping the occasional low level char / easier epic fights.

Where? I have not seen this, and I've backstabbed many things.

Dar knights are listed in the wiki at 46, so 46 is (was?) assassinate-able. (if wiki is accurate)

[Cecily]

Humanoids 46 (blues!) or lower are valid targets for assassinate. It triggers off backstabs and throwing attacks from behind.

[Cecily]

It was that way on live. It isn't coded the same on here. I've seen rogues assassinate mobs over level 50 on p99.

Completely wrong.

You must not backstab these very often then.

Oh you mean this mob?

I have to agree with cecily.

And as far as not worth it do a Forager cycle in TT with a 60 Rog and a bard with fear and slows in 4 hours you will have all named loots. So assasin is tots worth it.

[Cecily]

Yeah Pizoi and my ranger duoed forager. Was pretty fun, profitable, and not bad exp with blues instant dying.

[Ravager]

It's been a long time since I did Forager/Hunter. I am having trouble who the last person I did it with was. It was a bard and they'd kite them around while I stood back and threw skipping stones (before the nerf) at them, it was crazy efficient.

[syztem]

assassinate is just great, esp when your trying to clear through junk trash then one rogue gets like 10 assassinations in a row at dok/seb ent or something.
