Is the Assault Class the best class?

Nook it's the over powered class

Oh ok thx, I tried it already it's like an instant kills to Huggables.

It is not overpowered. People automatically associate overpoweredness with high damage, and that is far from the case.

The Assault Class is a powerful class with high health, but it has its drawbacks. Test out the class, and you will find it is not quite as easy as it would seem.

I personally suck with the Assault ... a lot :P I find the Assault is best suited when enemies are directly in front of it. When jumping and weaving starts up though, it is in trouble, which is why a good, quick Huggable can outclass them. They don't have the consistant damage output like the Heavy does with its automatic weapons, which makes its slow speed even more troublesome. Yes, they do have massive damage, but if they can't hit you there's nothing to worry about. 

Additionally, they're dead if they are reloading while facing a powerful enemy. Their long reload is another disadvantage.

I keep hitting myself when I'm in close combat...

But that's the only problem I have with using Assault. I haven't played a match where I haven't wound up with a pretty good KDR yet.

My best assault score is 12 kills 3 deaths. But i get this spazzing out glitch that makes my camera start moving when i don't want it to, then i accidently fire, and say bye-bye to my life.

Use the last resort, it makes yourself suicide and kill anything that's near, even heavies.

It has WAY to low of an AoD to do that sadly

Unfortunately, the Last Resort also uses some time to explode, soooo...

I feel that the only reason the Assault has more health than the Heavy is because some of it is almost always blasted away by the classes own weapon during combat. 

My best with Assault is with the Bearail Gun Shock n Claw those are what I used to get the 22 streak that I deserved.

However hard to use it may be, I find it infuriating that it's the only class that can kill me when I'm on half health although I'm behind him...

Woah I did not remember saying nook is the best class and what the heck is nook anyway. And botch is the new best

There is no best class; it all depends on your play style. For me, I would say that the Soldier is the best class, but for you, you think it's the Assassin.

Will go on a rampage against a group of Assassins very soon…

Hey ausar are you like gonna be on the wiki for a while

Assault is not overpowered but it is good when there are lots of Assassins when you use the Bearail gun.

Bearail Gun does NOTHING against Assassins.

I don't see how ... they only have 85 health ...

Maybe its floating properties with the jump function prevent it from being hit?

Its floating properties make it easier to hit actually. 

Now that you mentioned it, the Assassin looks kinda big, even though they have a health of 85.

Really? I always compare them to the size of a Huggable. I understand why it looks big to some though, likely because it has a huge head xD

He has also long legs XD

Lol, getting a bit off topic, but still... XD

Snipers can easily kill Assault

Actually I've only ever had problems with Bearail Guns. Yes, I can kill them, but they can take so much health with the first shot. It can cripple a Soldier's health.

I own the Assault, and it takes quite some practice to actually be good at it. The Assault's biggest weakness is EXTREMELY close range. You will just end up hitting yourself most of the time. His melees are also one of the weakest in the game.

If the melee were powerful, then it would be too overpowered. Personally, I didn't really need practice with it; I got the hang of it when I first used it.

I bought Shock N Claw only because it's cool ^_^

Have you guys noticed that when someone is up close and you try to aim with bearail gun it doesn't even shoot sometimes it just blows up on you?

Yup.

That also happens to me...usually when I respawn, or maybe it's because I'm going forward?

Yep. I personally rarely suicide with Assult. I rock with Enginner now, cuz of Rivet Gun.

I only suicide because sometimes, I troll people with Last Resort :)

D

This is way I start running with Last Resort instead

Snipers can easily kill any and all classes with headshots.
