first post after signing up, but since I am playing CBT 2 as well, I might as well help clear stuff up.

Assassins may have their stealth, and their surprise attacks combined with traps, but they one of the squishiest classes in BnS. Second only to Force Masters. I haven't leveled a sin much so I cannot go into details, but from what I can read out of the official website's forums, lot of Korean players that rolled assassin are complaining about a nerf in damage. That's right, the sin class looks cool and ninja-like, but they suffer in damage. Guess they make up for that with their stealth and fast attack speed.

going off topic~ each race is only limited to certain classes. Whether BnS will change this or not will be for them to decide.

here is the breakdown:

Jin - Blade Master, Assassin, and Kung Fu Master
Gon - Kung Fu Master, and Destroyer
Rin/Lyn - Force Master
Gun/Kun - Blade Master, Force Master

there are no special racial traits for each race either like Tera Online. So what race and what class you go is purely based on your personal preference.

I bet the final setup will be :-

Jin - BM, Sin, KFM & *Gunner*
Gon - KFM & Destroyer
Lyn - FM & *Summoner*
Kun - BM & FM

Jin race seems to be most favored as they are average in size and are made up of both sexes. I've seen female and male gunners in CGs and they are never huge like Gon nor tiny like Lyn and since there are males, they can't be restricted to Kun. With summoners, i've only ever seen a Lyn summon in a CG and it won't fit the lore for Gon (who are extremely physical) to summon, while it's possible for Jin & Kun to summon i doubt they will be allowed to use this class as it seems more suited to a demure and small race who might need help fighting bcos their hands and feet are too short to keep up w/the average person plus it seems the lyn is a magical/mystical race by nature.

I don't think the Jin will get 2 exclusive classes while Kun gets none. Gunslinger if in the game in the future, will probably be all of them. Even though there were no NPCs of certain ones, each race can certainly pick up a gun and use it. So I suppose if they really wanted to include all races, they could.

And as Dosferai said, any class can do this. You could even just skip all the mobs if you wanted. Run / qing gong past them all (so long as you don't get hit you won't get thrown into battle status - and the birds are all melee). Then if you didn't lose them, just die inside the boss room and recover.

I done that "trick" but i didnt feel like an exploit, everyone can do, but its a waste of time, the real loot is on the boss, chests just sucks... You can take a party of 2, one for agro and the other just pick the chest and you're done, dont need to be assassin for that... You can even make a train, die in a safe place, deep inside the dungeon, and then hunt there for the boss, is faster and more rewarding, in this cbt u didnt loose any exp when dying...

About the classes, i saw a gon gunner npc already:
