Oujay Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I think that Colm is a great character, but what is the better promotion for him, a rouge or an assassin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kedyns Crow Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I think that Colm is a great character, but what is the better promotion for him, a rouge or an assassin? Rogue. You can't beat not having to use a lockpick to open chests. I usually turn Marissa into an Assassin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fei Mao Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I prefer having Colm as an Assassin and let Rennac do all the chest and thief stuff so I can use Colm to use Silencer on the Draco Zombies in the last floor of the ruins in Creature Campaign. Rogues not bad too but I prefer Assassin better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogues not bad too but I prefer Assassin better. Agreed & Seconded. I always train Rennac, his growths aren't bad, his Str could use a little boost so I give him 2 Energy Rings & Goddess Icons for his luck.

Oujay Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Well... on my first time though, I promoted him into a rouge and he turn out great! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_____ Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Colm gains +1 HP as an Assassin over +1 Skill as a Rogue. Really, really negligible differences. It's really Silencer vs. Stealing and picking locks. Silencer may seem more useful, but it only has an activation rate of half of your critical, so you'd have to lug around Killer Weapons and be in range of +Crit supports to make it even a little bit reliable. Meanwhile, Rogue doesn't force you to field a terrible character like Rennac. I prefer Rogue, but it doesn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xort Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Assassin. Caps are the same for each class, and the differences in promo gains are almost negligible. However, going Assassin nets him a little extra CON, which lets him spam Killing Edges with no AS loss. Since Killer Edges add 15% to his chances to activate Silencer, he actually has a plausible chance at OHKOing most enemies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 If you have room for Rennac whenever thieving is needed (which you usually should), go for Assassin. It probably make much of a difference in the end, since Silencer doesn't activate that often, but I prefer the Assassin's animation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEnd Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Rogue. The fact I don't care about Assassins helps. Also, enemies are pathetic in FE8, so Silencer is rather pointless if you ask me. Edited July 22, 2009 by Tiena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icon of Sin Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I have Rennac to steal, so Assassin it is. I don't mind giving him Shamshirs and it's not like he can't open doors anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheetah7071 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 With the exception of a handful of enemies (generals and dracozombies really), a critical will kill an enemy. So, Silencer means that half the time you kill the enemy, you super duper kill them. Color me unimpressed. I'd go rogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxas Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) a rouge C'est rouge? Don't worry. I make the same mistake too. XD Anyway, I prefer Rogue. Edited July 22, 2009 by G-Dragon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galenforcer Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Basically: Endgame: Assassin In-Game: Rogue I still pick Assassin for Colm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Mir Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) I make Colm a Rogue. I really don't care for Assassins in FE8, and Silencer leaves me unimpressed since a critical usually spells doom for an enemy anyway.

Not quite, Silencer is very useful when it comes to faceing high HP and defnsed enemies like Draco Zombies, GK and Generals .

DracoZombies are in all of 1 chapter. Generals are EXTREMELY uncommon. And you don't even see that many Great Knights. Color me unimpressed.

There are GK, but that must be only in Rausten, the same goes for Generals, but still, later on the Cyclops have a great defense, usually ranking in like +20 Def.

_____ Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I was speaking only of the main game, but even in Creature Campaign, it's probably best to make him a Rogue. The majority of enemies are lolbonewalkers and pathetic enemies like that, so Colm is still going to be one rounding without Silencer. At least with Rogue, you don't have to waste money on a Lockpick, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aitherion Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Low defense? Cyclops have a great defense and there's alot of them in Ladgou Ruins... Their resistance is piss-poor, though. It's not like Colm is going to be your only unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
