Well, it turns out I also "made a mess of it":D. [off]And these emoticons are just awesome - I like them. Wasn't it a pain to find them from who knows where? :D

What are you talking about? Emoticons are sacred! It's... it's like shoes - the more pairs, the better!

Exactly, ninjas have nothing to do with it here; I meant that in this case, an assassin would be useful because you already have a runner - and for leveling up, you also need to give a ninja to the Necromancer for scouting - that's not good. The connection is that we're discussing death classes here, right? And in his post, his main idea was that he considers the assassin a good class among the death classes, because he's a killer:D

Oh my god, I'm starting to understand your point. You're interpreting the question about mixed death classes as a question about those hero classes where the main (or even the only) skill tree is death magic.
Well, the topic was about all possible class combinations where death is combined with something else. And I was talking about the ninja not necessarily in the context of playing as a Necromancer, but in general. After all, you can level him up when playing as any other faction.:smile01: I generally think he's the best runner option.

Let's say you have a starting hero - a Tactician. We give him the Runner skill somewhere near an altar or a hut. And we level him up in the Runner skill to Grand Master, and in the Tactician skill, for example, in Attack, ignoring Defense - this minimum program is quite feasible.

And who will support the defense? Another Tactician? Wouldn't it be too expensive to raise two Tacticians, especially considering that your Warlord is unlikely to level up smoothly in Grand Master Runner and Grand Master Attack - they'll definitely stuff him with random skills.
Just a couple of months ago, I saw Oxygen's dad leveling up a Runner. And he, the rascal, stubbornly leveled up in Navigation ("why - who knows?", as Winnie the Pooh used to say), and in the end, he didn't grow his legs. So, if you decide to create a beautiful Grand Master Runner and Grand Master Attack, you might end up with something that's "neither a mouse nor a frog, but some unknown creature."
Personally, I would level up the Tactician separately, and the Runner separately. In my opinion, you should only take a mixed class if you're ready for the fact that one of the skill trees won't level up at all, or will level up poorly, which is even worse. That is, the second skill tree may be unnecessary. And the Tactician-Runner is a classic example of "what should I do, tear myself between being smart and being beautiful?" :D
However, this is all just a side note.

P.S. If anything, I'm not defending the ninja anymore; I'm attacking the Warlord, that's all. Because the conversation led to it.
