Hi. I thought this would be a great time to make this thread with the new patch around the corner and the many DH players it will bring with it, old and new comers.
The Prime Assassins clan is primarily a DH main community that was established in Vanilla D3 on March 13th, 2013. In the time of inception, face tanking was the norm and range play was nonexistent, so Flight (no longer plays) and I decided to show the community that ranged play can keep up with the meta through micro heavy, yet invigorating game play. The old school vid that started it all.
The purpose of creating the community was to provide an outlet for players wanting to learn more about the class and hone their skills to the best of their ability. While overtime the game has changed with the expansion and further content, we’ve stayed true to our objective over the years and continued to offer a great experience for DH mains looking to grow with the class.
If you lurk or post on these forums, you’ve already been surrounded by our community. A number of populated threads here were created by TPA members. Often times, we are the first to respond to DH’s who ask for advice. The only sticky thread we have up top was created by one of the founding members.
1. Is this an elite clan?
No, not at all. There are no actual requirements to join or stay. It’s more of a family atmosphere with many of us in our mid 30’s. You log in, do what you want, whatever that may be, and you log off whenever.
The only thing we ask of you is to give back to the DH community, whether that is posting on the forums or helping others in clan or other in game communities.
2. I’m competitive and like pushing leaderboards. You guys involved in that?
While this is more of a laid back, leaning towards more of the casual side than hardcore, there are players who do actively participate in leaderboards by choice. Most recent examples this season:
- Mersinary with the highest impale clear on LB under 2k paragon.
- Iria with the highest barb WW clear on LB under 2k paragon.
- DiEoxidE with the highest UE MS clear on LB under 2k paragon and former rank 1 during week 2 of season.
- DMKT with the highest non-meta N6/M4 MS clear on LB, while under 2k paragon and currently the highest DH clear in clan.
These are just a few notable examples. All clears are US server based.
3. I play other classes than DH. Am I allowed to join?
Absolutely. You don’t “have” to play DH to be part of the community. Quite a few members in the current chose not to roll a DH this season due to DH’s lagging behind other classes atm.
What I will say is that since most of us do main DH’s, group meta runs such as rat runs are not common, as very few of us play necro. If group meta is extremely important to you, you may feel a little left out. Ultimately the choice is still up to you.
4. Do I have to play seasons? Are there any NS players?
No you don’t have to, and yes there are players that choose not to partake in seasons. I myself rarely play seasons.
5. Are hardcore players welcome?
Absolutely. We do have members who are strictly hardcore and you’ll find yourself right at home.
6. Are you all active?
Fortunately yes. I say that because the game itself is old and therefore player base will dwindle naturally. All clans experience a peak when a new season starts. We’ve been fortunate to have a steady player base (and growing) even during “not so optimal” times to play. If you log on, there’s always someone to talk to and group up with if that’s what you want to do.
7. Are third party programs allowed?
We have a zero tolerance policy on things such as botting, THUD and third party macros. If there is proper evidence of such activity, the player will be removed promptly.
What blizzard allows is what we allow. Things such as numlock and multiboxing has been given the “ok” by blizzard, so those things are fine.
We look forward to seeing you!
