Most Rogues are looked upon with contempt or loathing by civilized folk, or simply ignored altogether. There are some among the ranks of the Thieves, however, who command respect through fear, and whose names are voiced with either dread or hatred: Assassins. Not content with stealing gold or plunder, these grim professionals steal lives instead, killing for their wages, trading blood for gold. Some Assassins are ruthless predators who've developed a taste for blood and thrill at the act of killing, while others are grim professionals, bringing a kind of honor even to the direst of professions. However they approach their profession, Assassins must be able to do three things: get close to their targets, kill them quickly, and escape uncaught. The ease with which an Assassin performs the first and third tasks marks the difference between an amateur and an artist.

Overview

The assassin is a stealth class that specializes in quickly eliminating one target. They are highly-prized in group fights for their ability to block all healing on a target with Shadow Mantle. Solo players will also find the assassin's kit quite versatile, however, they have few ranged weapon choices and no way to increase their speed, relying on Steal Breath to slow their target instead.

Tips

Assassins, like many rogues, work best when catching their target by surprise. Sneak up on an unsuspecting target using stealth powers, consider your opponents weaknesses, and exploit them.

Mage

  • A mage assassin's primary means of damage is usually Shadow Bolt, which applies a short stun. Since all stuns apply a brief immunity that refreshes on all new stun attempts, it is best to use Shadow Touch before unleashing your volley of Shadow Bolts.

Rogue

  • Rogue assassins will generally want to open with of of their many backstab variants. To know the most effective one, you will need to have some knowledge about other classes. Bear in mind that the backstab variants are considered poison and can be dispelled by the appropriate effect removal powers.
