    Overall, they're just as good, it only depends on what sort of class you want to play as.

    Check the forums for both classes and figure it out. Not that hard. Or roll two and level both to 20 and see for yourself.

    Correct me if I'm blind, but that post doesn't say anything about Tideborns.

    It depends on what reasons you intend on using your character. The Psy is just like the mage in that he is good for ranged support, but the assassin is more of a PK class.

    I think the assassin is a better choice to pick because it is naturally a light armor build.

    Magic Builds usually revolve around magic characters. These builds provide excellent magic defense, but often the characters that have this armor usually have low HP, making them easier to PK and also easier to become killed durng Questing.

    The Heavy builds offer grat physical defense, but low Magic defense. this armor is often given to the classes of the BM and Barb, which naturally have high lvls of Vitaity which make up for any lost defense in an area.

    The assassin is light build characterin general, meaning he uses light armor and has most points invested in dex, which allows him to have high accuracy, critical hit potential, and evasion. The assassin, whith his light buil armor, will be OK in all stutions, but he will not, however, stand out to be excellent in any one area of defense.

    If youre talking about PK, the assassin is the ultimate PK class with abilities to stun, immobilize, and even become invisible before battle and during battle. He also has the 2ns quickest atack rate of 1.25 in the game. Get your Wind Push up to lvl 10 and you will be attacking yur opponent 5 times every 2 seconds. If you have a TT or better weapon, then the damage output is vry high. And because the assassin is a dex build character in gneral, most of those hits will be critical.

    Again, it all comes down to what you like to do, this is a game after all. As long as you have FUN with it.

    But just a review.
    Assassins:
    High Crit. Hit rate
    Quick Attacks
    OK Defense in magic and melee
    Do not stand out too much other than their stealt skills and quick attack

    Psy:
    Lots of Damage out put
    Low HP
    High Mag. Defense
    Low Phys Defense

    In general i just like the assassin more becauseI find he is more flexible.
