So there have been quite a few thread saying "this is the best assassin build...."
my question what is everyone actually using.

Pure Dex (1 str 4 dex)

Hybrid (1 str 1 vit 8 dex)

Vitality (1 str 1 vit 3 dex)

If you would like to please give a reason why.

also if there is something else you are doing please let us know.

Edit: yes I know i misspelled Dex in the poll

    im actually using pure dex as well. It kills pretty fast, but monsters do serious damage sometimes.

    Better put the builds per lvl:

    Pure (1str 4dex)
    Hybrid (1str 4 dex / 1str 1vit 3dex)
    Vit (1str 1vit 3dex)

    Or each 2:

    Pure (2str 8dex)
    Hybrid (2str 7dex 1vit)
    Vit (2str 2vit 4 dex)


    Otherwise its confusing....don't mix them up.

    Pure Dex here btw, +10 HP points per vit (lowering my damage output, evasion and accuracy that way) is a waste imo on an assassin b:bye

    the vit is 6 dex not 4 every 2 levels x3 and i pretty sure it's 13 hp per vit not 10

    edit: yes it 13 hp per vit i just checked with a bit of gear that has +1 vit lol

    1 str - 4 dex,
    unless I'm fighting or will be fighting mobs who can kill me in two or three hits,
    in which case, I put 1-3 points toward vit if I really really need it, which has only been like two or three times.

    Common/Average HP shards are your friends in lower lvls... there u have your VIT without actually touching your build. And they are cheap too *shock*

    I do that, but it still isn't enough for some enemies,
    especially considering that health pots have an annoyingly long cooldown.
    Even using condensed pots barely helps with some enemies.

    The issue probably isn't what they're killing but the skills they have available to them. It's highly probable that they're using minimum amount of skills to kill. The more "conservative" they are with their MP the more HP they lose.

    I spam skill, too.
    I figure it's just because even a low probability of getting hit will get me hit,
    because I generally have the **** end of the luck stick when it comes to probabilities and chances.

    yeahs but see they said mobs that kill them in 2 or 3 hits =x if you use melee or skills the mobs do the same damage just hit you less when you use skills cause you kill them faster

    and shanlang cutlasses needed about 8 hits to kill me when i fought them o.O

    I'm going, um...

    1 strength, 3 dex every level - that's not negotiable.
    The remaining 1 is switching between vit/mag/yet-more-dex.

    Not sure it's going to work, but I really hate being unable to use skills.

    i am going purist build for assasin cause it gives high crit rate and more dmg.
    Justice is the constant and perpetual wish to render every one his due.

    The banners of the king advance, the mystery of the cross shines bright; where his life went through with death, and from death brought forth life.

    Pure dex is one of the popular ways to go.

    As for me I'll end up as a pure dex but at the lower levels, I'm putting enough Dex to wield weapon for my level and the rest into Str so I can wear Heavy Armor.

    That's my two cents.

    Monsters are doing about 80 dmg to me and i have like 700+ hp, thats really bad. And i barely dodge, which dex is also for (agility).

    Pure Dex may be a little difficult early on, but later on you'll be glad to have all that dex to maximise evasion, damage and most importantly critical hit rate. The assassin will be unstoppable by anyone in the later levels.

    7 dex 2 str 1 vit every two levels. The pure build is nice at least on paper but adding some vit will not greatley reduce your crit rate in higher levels, but the extra vit could mean the difference in a drag out TW.

    I got my vit to 15 and then just went with the 4 dex 1 strength build after that.
