User blog comment:Thousand Troops/Balancing the Assassin Vocation/@comment-5671431-20121101202506

While I can certainly see your point, I will have to disagree a bit. Yes, the assasin is stacked, but that stacking might just make the game more accesible to folks that aren't as well versed in optimization (or the game itself).

Chances are the purchaser of this game will end up playing through the first time on assasin (easy mode) and then branching out to challenge themselves in subsequent plays. So, I would say that balancing the assasin down would be a bad for the game as a whole. I mean, sometimes folks just want to play on easy mode and only have to pay half attention.
