I have no problems with my assassin, maybe it's because I like to do chain attacked and even with my Elementalists in prophecies and Factions, I'm hardly ever -just- attacking, I'm always hitting. "5,6,4,7" because it's just blunt magic. With my assassin, It's "1,5,7,8" 'cause she's an Asssassin/Elemtalist. Blunt hits then back up with Magic. <3.

But like Christmas said before, the monsters in Factions are way to hard, but that's because in Factions if you level up to like Lvl 9, that's going to make all the monesters in your area like.. Lvl 12 or 13. =O

Oh and "which is better" question should be asked again when Nightfall is out.
