A class that is good at sneaking around like a lion circling around its
prey. Using bleed effects to finish off their enemies quickly, they
certainly earn the title of "Assassin".
Pros:
- The fastest killer
- Tied with archer for fastest running speed
- Very-quick stealth skills
- Hits fast
- Fast channeling
- DoT skills
Cons:
- Not very much HP
- Less skills
- Not needed in most squads
- Hardly any AoE skills
- Short range compared to others
- Dies very easily

Dagger
The only weapon. Short Range, Medium-Faster attack speed, Low-High damage
Light armor is ideal for this class due to their high dexterity. Heavy
armor isn't a very effective alternative since dexterity, and not
strength, determines their damage, hence damage is reduced due to the
extra strength needed to wear heavy armor, and since they lack the HP to
be able to suffer the larger amount of hits they will receive.
Builds:
here are 3 main stat builds an Assassin can take. Assassins damage is
affected by dex not str like normal melee classes and therefore there
stat builds will have alot in common with archers. Daggers require 3 dex
a level.
Pure dex build
4 dex
1 str
A pure dex build gives the assassin the highest dps and highest
crit rate out of any other assassin build. This is at the price of
deffense of course.
Vit build
3 dex
1 str
1 vit
or
3.5 dex
1 str
.5 vit
This build adds some survivability while taking away some damage.
These are the two easiest builds for assassin and the most
viable. The only other build that can be done is a heavy armor build but
it requires 3 dex and 2.5 str a level meaning some of the stats will
have to be found on the gear and there is no room for vit. Also the
damage will be lower
