New Assassin needs help with AA

[Pokeun]

Hi, I'm a fairly new player here and am level 26.  I'm about to get my 2nd AA and I am wondering what experienced assassin's view as a couple good routes for me to go with my trees.I'm looking at strength and intelligence as being the most interesting to me.Would either tree provide more immediate benefit to me?  Am I overlooking any lines that are very valuable to us?For a bit more information, I love grouping and doing dungeon crawls with others.  I rarely solo with my assassin, so solo play isn't that important to me.  I also play on a pve server.  Thanks for any help you can offer a newbie with AA advice!<div></div>

Well, there are quite a few posts on this, but anyways <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />Grouping alot, I should think most people would say max out str line to perfectionist then work on int.What I did was take str line to 8/8 melle crits, then start placing points in Int (though any line you want to try out for 7 points is fair game) till I had enough to respec and get perfectionist - simply as I didn't want to have points standing there doing nothing. <div></div>

<DIV>STR</DIV> <DIV>8</DIV> <DIV>8            </DIV> <DIV>8</DIV> <DIV>8</DIV> <DIV>1</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I went all str then worked on int. Some peeps arn't feeling opening blade but, I use it often and the dmg can be pretty high. If the mob's health is over 80%, opening blade hits around 450 to 850 + 200 to 400 = 650-1250 for 1 CA w/o crit. Not too shabby</DIV>
