Worn Cassette?

I am pretty certain that it is, I would just like a second opinion. :D

I moved all of my current drivetrain over to to my new frame, and changed the chain, and the chain skips repeatedly in all gears (about twice every rotation of the cranks) so I put the old chain on and the skipping went away.

Is it obvious that I need a new cassette?

    its possible you have wear on all gear train components , chain rings , cassette , ect.
    the old chain will have worn at the same rate as the other parts hence problem arises
    with new chain.
    start with new cassette by all means , but it may not just be that.

    If its been a long time on the same chain the front rings could be goosed aswell.I generally get 3 or 4 chains to a cassette and change the front rings after 7 or 8 chains,or when they "sharkfin".
    It also depends on what the bikes used for.If Commuting the chain/cassettes can last yonks.
