[discussion]assassin > rogue in terms of zeny farming?

[garfield]

So, there are only a couple of class can be considered the most efficient for zeny farming purpose.
some of them are :

Knight
steal = no
strength = Very good
movespeed = yes
regeneration = yes
sp problem = yes

Monk
steal = no
strength = good
movespeed = yes(and bless)
regeneration = yes
sp problem = yes

Rogue
steal = yes
strength = moderate
movespeed = no
regeneration = no
sp problem = yes

Assassin
steal = yes
strength = good
movespeed = no
regeneration = no
sp problem = no

rogue, preferred by most ppl because they got gank
aside from that, they didnt got any plus feature
let's compare it with monk, who have self buff(faster movespeed and killing time), got free vitata,creamy,and warp portal.
what about knight? they can kill mob twice faster than rogue, althou they didnt have steal but they got enchanted movespeed by riding peco, they also got enchanted hp regen and adding a little vit would make you never have to sit.

on the other hand, rogue got many limitation that cause so much problem. they are slow in killing mobs, walk so slow, have to sit or bring potions to regenerate, and the most important is their mana problem. to be able to use tpsearch nonstop, they need some kind of mana regeneration aside from shoes and adding a couple of int so they can got that extra regen/tick, there's cards that gives sp when certain racial monsters killed. but if rogue would use these cards, it means tradeoff for their killing speed, because they can't use VVS elemental, nor insert racial card inside the slotted dagger because the slot has been taken for sp purpose.

now lets look at assassins. they got what rogue have, steal. although it isn't auto-steal, but with high enough dex, will guarantee a success steal in at most 3 attempts. and the most important thing, by dual wielding they solved the SP problem. VVS elemental in right hand and 1 racial card+3 racial sp cards in left hand. with this, they could kill mobs faster than rogue, what could be better than this?

as for monk and knight, althou they both got advantage in movespeed, and knight can kill far faster than rogue, steal still got the upper hand with tpsearch farming.
so i think these 2 class is better used to farm unstealable loots suchs as cards or rares. and for farming regular OC loots, i think assassin is far better than rogue.
but of course that doesn't mean rogue is an unreliable zeny farming class. i think they are better than assassin if only there are many of them, then their mug skill will give more zeny than assassin can farm. imagine with 50 rogues farming 24/7 where each can earn about 2m/week ONLY from mugging, that's already 100m created from nothing. whilst if there are only a couple of bots to farm OC loots, then assassin is the way to go.

to sum it up,
use knight or monk to farm unstealable drops
use rogue to farm zeny if there are many bots(prolly>10)
use assassin to farm zeny if there are only a couple bots(prolly 3~5)
