Rolling an Assassin

[Skyriderv]

<DIV>Hello my fellow Assassins, Me and my bro are going to be rolling pvp assassins which server yet we are not sure. We deciding to go Dark elves because we think they look wicked. We both are new to the scout class, so we would like to know what Master II's to get, what AA's we need for a pvp or dps build, also one handed or duel wield. Last but not least are there any macro's do you guys use or dps or so forth (considering you have a lot of abililities) if so, what are they? If you guys have any other tips or tricks we should know feel free to post them. Thanks a lot for your time and imput for those who post.</DIV> <DIV>                                                          -Skyrider.</DIV>

<DIV>Running up against 2 Assasins in PvP... Dark Elves especially would suck.   Good choice on race.  They make the best assasins hand down.</DIV>

<p>Sta / Str is the way to go for PVP only. The added HPs you get from teh Sta line is huge, also the parry AA at the end is awesome.</p><p> Str / Int is undeniably the best DPS set up for raiding and what not.</p>

Might want to look at the tricks line in EOF AA fairly quickly.  Also the defensive stance penalty reduction in physicality might be interesting.

<p>stamina line i hear has it merits and trust me ive spent alot of plat trying new ones. but honestly if u think int line no good then maybe u should look closer intelligence increases magic damages i.e. poisons and procs. second one on int line damages and also drops poison resists...third one down int line is my favorite...it drops ppls melee and casting abitlites if they hit me [this one with the zero defensive penalties off the assassin line allow me to go toe to toe with swashys tanks and monks more easily]  forth one is also good cuase u get spell crit chance [i.e.  procs and poisons] and last one is very mean in pvp.....blurs vision procs damage and also decreases opponents abitlies in casting and melee for 48 secs duration.</p><p>now i know we all have certain likes and dislikes but if u discount the merit of int line then ur a noob and no one should listen to u. int line not for everyone but it does merit a closer look is all im saying.</p><p> Soulhunter</p><p>p.s. in raids a higher int score u got the more dps u can parse....how does stamina help ur parsing?</p>
