| ASSASSIN
Assassins are the most lethal killers in Hyboria. Those |
aspiring to the top of this profession face the most |
| deadly regime of training, discipline, and study, but the |
ones that survive are executioners supreme. |
No other class can deliver blows as deadly as an assassin. Their |
| Assassins can dual wield daggers with lightning speed and can |
modify their attacks against specific targets, such as Attacks against heavily armored foes, or poison attacks versus
mana users. Few can stand against an assassin in combat.
Archetype:
Rogue
Permitted Races:

Assassin
I can't find any solid posts or info on assassin abilities,
and hybes is very incomplete. If anyone has anything, I'd
be glad to post it.
Why would I play this class?
1) High single target DPS (Sneak attack goodness)
2) You enjoy stalking your target (the joys of a
methodical kill)
3) Murder is a hobby (???)
Why would I pass on this class?
1) Identity crisis (again)
2) You are very squishy (one of THE squishiest)
3) Near mandatory beginning spec (Lotus is nice though)
General Assissin Info: The assassin is your typical rogue
class. Now, opinions vary greatly. According to some, you
are unable to kill players 10 levels below you. Other say
Crom himself has an account and he plays an assassin.
Assassins are stealthy and deadly. Its real problem is
that all the rogue classes are stealthy and deadly. The
Ranger can engage from range, the barbarian can
engage multiple mobs.
Assassin in PvE: Have a tough time. Mob in this game
pop up in groups, and this is not a class designed for
groups. You just have to pick your battles. Most PvE
centered (and most everyone from 1-40ish) go into Lotus
for its survivability. After that you can switch into another
build to suit your tastes. In groups your usefulness goes
up a great deal as you no longer have to worry as much
about survivability.
Assassin in PvP: For the problems they have in PvE, I'll
bet you were hoping me to say they melt face in PvP.
They are dangerous, no doubt, but not really more
dangerous than the other rogue classes, and that is
where the problem lies at the moment. Corruption after
40ish is the spec of choice for PvP damage.
