Assassin

The Assassin combines fast melee attacks with ranged combat. Its two paths are Ranged and Melee.

Weapons and attributes

The Assassin can use a sword, dagger, and bow. DEX is its highest base value, with STR as the second highest. The actual effect depends on the skill, equipment, and situation.

Playstyle

The ranged path keeps its distance and uses the bow. The melee path works with a dagger or sword and requires good timing and positioning. Both paths are physical.

Skills by path

Ranged

• Focus Arrow, Windwalk, Fire Arrow
• Poison Arrow, Rain Of Arrows, Toxic Fog

Melee

• Deadly dagger stab, Backstab, Poisoned Daggers
• Quick Attack, Invisiblity, Blink strike

What to keep in mind

• The Assassin has less VIT than the Warrior and therefore has less room for poor positioning.
• Put your most important attacks and evasive skills in easy-to-reach action-bar slots.
• Stealth, combos, and evasion are tied to individual skills.
