The Assassin class has a variety of powerful techniques, all of which are strategic and useful. Starting out, you are given a couple of very nice damage skills and temporary battle buffs that jump start your evasion and attack stats. If you are Elyos, you get an ability called Divine Strike that does a sick amount of damage if you happen to have 2moons gold available for it.
Following the same advice as the Ranger, go dual wield and keep a bow handy for pulling mobs from tight spots. The combination of using a dagger in the main hand and a short sword in the offhand works well for the Assassin and you’ll be rewarded with decent auto-attack damage if you use dual wield.
Soon after you choose the Assassin path, you’ll pick up the skills called Follow-up Strike I. his skill boosts the physical attack of the immediately following skill by 50% and adds 500 points to your accuracy. If you combine this skill with a hard hitting attack like Swift Edge II, you can take a nice chunk out of the health of your adversary. Most of your melee skills will be upgrades from the originals but the Assassin does have a unique feature that adds another level to melee combat called signets.
The signet system is an interesting additional aspect to playing the Assassin that will greatly benefit each player if you learn what it is all about and use it in every battle. Some skills that the Assassin uses will add or have a possibility of adding an engraved signet on an enemy. The Assassin also has some skills that can burst a signet. Applying a signet, then bursting it, will add additional effects such as additional damage or stuns to the mob you are fighting. The skills that the Assassin uses will specify in their tooltip what the signet effect will be.These signets can stack and build in intensity the more you apply them so the more you stack signets, the greater the effect will be.
