This thread is for the incoming Assassins that are betraying from the ranger class. I'll just give some tips about CA's, AA's, and some other things we assassins have taken for granted, for we have leveled our assassins. I hope this thread will answer some questions. If you need some more information drop into the world assassin channel Guk.Assassin or can send me an ingame tell. Nektulos.Tigruz. I'd be happy to help out.
AA's - STR/INT hands down. STR for Perfectionist, and max melee crits. Perfectionist makes Killing Blade and Decapitate 2mins and 10mins recast respectively instead of the 3mins and 15mins recast. INT is great for the spell crits. The Toxic Expertise AA affects Malignant Mark, Deadly Wound, Scraping Blow, Flowing Wound, Cloaked Assault, our poisons, and most of all...Thermal Shocker. The skill that benefits the most from the AA line is Malignant Mark.
Master 2 - Malignant Mark all the way. If you are looking to raid and don't already have this skill master 1 then choose this CA. It can proc up to 1500 per tick if you have Toxic Expertise. 30sec recast and procs 5 times for 1000-1500 on raids for me. This usually does 15% of my total dps on raids.
Skills - There is already a thread for our CA's 60-70. But, we still use a few CA's/abilties from tier 6, like Elude, Apply Poison (proc for anyone but rogues/predators), Finishing Blow (one of our best skills), Concealment (lets us chain cast Backstabs), and our aggro x-fer (I forget skill name lol...). Concealment at master 1 lets the assassin basically chain cast a few of our backstabs. If you can get a good Concealment off you can use Killing Blade, Eviscerate, Cloaked Assault, Jugular, and Slaughersault within a 7 second period while reducing aggro by 40%. Apply Poison, Finishing Blow, and Concealment are the Anchient Teachings.
Well, this is all I could think of atm. Feel free to post any questions or improvements to this thread. Its kinda late and I'm tired and hungry so I couldn't think of any more.
