    As an assassin you learn the true meaning of the letters S.A.S. : SPEED, AGGRESSION, SURPRISE....
    those are the three rules that must never be forgotten by an assassin....

    I'm only level 21, but this is my build and I'm still using hp pots like crazy. I can't imagine what it would be like without the little vit that I have.

    Keep in mind that vit increases your survivability, at the expense of damage. The problem is, the less damage you do, the longer it takes to kill something, and thus, the more damage you TAKE.

    A pure dex build will generally take LESS damage than a vit build, not more.

    This is for your benefit. Ignore are your own peril. I can almost 100% guarantee ur gonna regret it endgame if you get that far.

    As for the narrowmindedness, maybe your just narrowminded thinking that everyone who doesn't let anyone disagree with them is narrowminded. *bltch slap*


    Edit: as for worrying about low health and scariness of it all. Your an assasin, and even if you went all vit ud be dying all the time. This is why assasin (like wizards) are for pro people who know what they are doing. There is lots of dying and lots of patience involved. Trying to lessen the pain of constantly bieng ***** in the **** will only increase the pain even more.

    I don't think you read the description of the assassin character when you created one or I think you'd have a different opinion.

    Melee combatants who move fast & can deal the most damage of any class when in Critical Hit Form sound more like a BM build to me than archer build.

    I think PWI guided us correctly & I'd rather trust their words than yours. TYVM.

    A pure dex build will also get you killed in one or two shots like lots pure builds. What's the use of damage if you can't use it then?

    i dont think it will work out well on RBs,bosses and stuff like that cus when i had low life and had strong damage i die easily with a good cleric.....so u still need vit on sins build if not then citrine shards on equipments but a waste of money for low lvls

    LOL..so you'll give me less than 100% of my money back? Is that it? b:chuckle.

    There is going to be scenarios where a certain build provides a better success/survivability.

    Shoot, even low magic means less time invisible. Need to expand your inventory slots and have gear ready for every situation.

    I digress tho..u are going to need at least the equivalent of 3 dex EVERY level in order to use your good weapons at 80+ .. I think lvl 80 weap is 246 dex requirement.

    Im just throwing this out there, but maybe we should just cap our vit at say like 30 or something? i know most bms cap at 50, but seeing that sins get squashed really fast but kill pretty quick, it might not hurt having the little bit of padding XD

    I don't think the 1 str 4 dex build is bad; please do note that each stat point added varies differently among classes, and I think PW made it so that when you add more dex to an assassin, they'd get more out of it than a barb or BM would. Assassins emphasize more on evasion, and at higher levels, the more dex there is the more useful it will become (and more noticable too). Vit isn't bad, and you can add to it if you want, but not adding any vit won't hurt you that much either.

    right now i'm following the build 1 str - 4 dex and yes i pot a lot. This remind me when i was low lvl bm and potted like crazy (almost rerolled to another class) but after the "diamond sutra" i use just 1 mana pot every 4 mobs,no more health pots (i have them anyway,you never know :P)
    probably whit the assassins will be the same,maybe the skill "bloodpaint" things will be better.
    I say that because now i'm not able to kill more than 2 - 3 mobs whitout meditate...but if a good cleric buff me or i use the life powder (lvl 1 apho,recover 50hp every second) i can kill 30 - 34 mobs in 10 minuts...(almost done 2 one man army in 10 minuts soloing...)

    uh...assassins get their damage from dex, so adding into str like a fist bm would would be pretty stupid.

    8 dex 1 str 1 vit every 2

    or

    7 dex 1 str 2 vit every 2

    or you'll squish real easy at mele range or against wizzies or agains....anything

    archers can go pure cause things DONT hit them back....you dont have that option

    I'm going to try pure DEX for mine. If it's too hard, I can always put more VIT at later level. But I do have a question whether pure DEX is 4 DEX 1 STR or 9 DEX 1 STR per 2 levels?

    I just started an assassin after reading this and to start out, 4dex and 1str is "the" build for assassins? I don't think so. I've seen some pretty damn good attack clerics, I'm going to be doing something similar with this.

    Just to make sure on one point, is magic going to need any points at all?

    The 4 DEX 1 STR/lvl build is an end game build. If you want to use the 1 VIT 2 STR 7 DEX/2 lvls build, you can, but I would recommend restatting when you get to a high level. What you lack in HP you can make up for in shards/refines. An assassin only gains 13 HP/VIT so that's a measly 650 HP at lvl 100. That amount is so easy to surpass in shards/refines that it's almost funny.

    I'll be putting one vitality for every maybe 3 to 4 levels, and my str around 2 and dex 3 for every level, depending on equipment requirements. That is if magic isn't ever needed.

    Daggers require very little STR. Putting more STR than the LA requirement is a waste.

    I'm seriously pondering the viability of a HA assassin. It'd have to wear HA of one grade lower due to lack of sufficient STR, but it would be a significant PDef boost. Going to get my 1/4 assassin to at least the 50s or 60s before I try another build though. I wonder how Haiz's HA assassin is coming along?
