Quote | Reply | Delete | Modify | Report | 2# Skill Build Recommendation

Before we start, I'd like to remind you that Assassin truly do better while soloing (Without all the knockdowns, float, AOE skills and such). We can stay stealth at 95% of the time and stab bosses to death without them noticing what hits them.

This doesn't mean they are worthless in a group as Assassin can still deal considerable damage vs single target. Poison & bleed debuff can neutralize bosses' IMBA HP regeneration too.

As for PVP, the main factor would be how well can you pilot your character. Thus, I won't further comment on 'Is Assassin good for PVP?'. (Truth is, I'm pretty bad at it :P)

PvE Core Build

Most Assassins will use this as basic setup before allocating skill points to other skills.

Mist Slash Tier 1 Level 2-2: Every hit applies a layer of poison & bleed debuff.

Special Note: Did you notice Mist Slash has a slight pause after 3 hits? Do throw a Shuriken as '4th hit', it will chain into your new 'normal attacks' perfectly. (Mist Slash - Mist Slash - Mist Slash - Shuriken - Repeat)

Heart Thrust Tier 1 Level 4: This will be your main single target DPS skill, also known as 'Infinite butt stab'. Every 4th hit doesn't consume energy. (To be explained below)

Shuriken Tier 1 Level 1: Recovers 2 energy instead of 1.

Lotus Dance Tier 1 Level 1: Gives you ~2.5 seconds of invincible frame. Save this to dodge damaging skills.

The 'Infamous' Infinite Butt Stabbing Pretty easy to execute. Watch following video or follow steps below to learn how! :D

Step 1 - Stack 5 layers of poison (Either engage with Tier 1 Level 2 Blow Poison from ranged or just normal attack)Step 2 - Get ready to counter target's skill (2 - Decoy or Q - Side Step) OR just Heart Thrust to enter stealthStep 3 - Hold right click to Heart Thrust 4 timesStep 4 - Hold 'X' to Shuriken till you gain 9 energies (Heart Thrust once in the middle if your stealth timer running out)Step 5 - Hold right click to Heart Thrust 4 times againStep 6 - Normal attack to refresh poison debuff timer back to 15 seconds.Step 7 - Ready to counter skill or Heart Thrust again and repeat from step 3!
