Hello,

I am going to be reseting the points for my assasin and need to know what build should I choose. More importantly what are the main differences from the various builds for assasins and what major differences will they make for me in combat. I have used the search but have found very little info on the subject. Thanks in advance......

    1 Str, 4 Dex every level lets you deal the most damage. Pure Dex Build.

    1 Str, 1 Vit, 3 Dex every level gets you some extra survivability, but you wont be doing as much damage as the other builds.

    1 Str, 4 Dex every even level and 1 Str, 1 Vit, 3 Dex every odd level is the Hybrid Build. Not as strong as the Pure Dex, but a little more HP.

    I personally am going Hybrid until level 40~50 and then Pure Dex. Experiment, I guess. =/

    Before you reset your stats, you should probably mention what they are so people can tell you if you even need to reset them. Really though, as long as you kept a minimum of 3 Dex 1 Str every level and no Mag at all, any build would be fine.

    Yes,

    My current level in game is 46 and my stats are as follows:

    Vit:51

    Magic:37

    Dex:104

    Streangth:53

    I know it seems very random because it is, I did not know that builds would make a difference when i first started to play so I put points in randomly. Please tell me if I need to reset all my points or only a few......

    Take the points out of magic! They burn my eyes!b:infuriated

    On a more serious note, magic is not needed. At all. The points in vit can stay if you don't want to restat those but the magic needs to disappear. <_<

    Yes,

    My current level in game is 46 and my stats are as follows:

    Vit:51 5 28 51

    Magic:5

    Dex:104 189 166 143

    Streangth:51

    This is the stat you should have at your level for this skill regardless of build.

    This is the stat for full Dex build (4 Dex, 1 Str every level) at your level

    This is the stat for Hybrid build (7 Dex, 2 Str, 1 Vit every 2 levels) at your level.

    This is the stat for Vit build (3 Dex, 1 Str, 1 Vit every level) at your level

    So, really you can easily fix the Str by just skipping putting any points in it for 2 levels. After that, it is just a matter of which build you choose. You only need to reset Vit if you want a full Dex build. However, I recommend you stick with what you have so far and only reset your Mag points.

    The best built will probably be having Vit and Mag at 5,Str=ur lvl+4 and the rest into dex.The lack of hp can be simply be increased by checking out for gear with Vit and imbuing some citrines

    That would be good at end game, but up till then it is not worth putting out the money for stones that will be gone within a few weeks time due to leveling speed. Not to mention that as it sounds, people are having extreme difficulties compared to me when it comes to grinding. Just using a hybrid build, I find it extremely easy to grind at 64, whereas other people I keep hearing have a lot of trouble after 60 with full Dex build. Perhaps they are just horrible with the class, but I don't like to assume that of others unless they make it blatantly obvious.
    I started off 2str 2dex and 1hp and stopped that at around level 13 then went to 3dex 2 str and then 3 dex 2 hp every few levels. Also my Dex right now is 156, str 75 and hp 30

    Your Str is WAY too high for your level with an Assassin. Leave your Str alone until you reach 70, it will only nerf your damage and the little bit of physical resistance you get from it will not help much at all.

    i have to disagree on the str keep it there, if you want to wear helm of aqau viscous at lvl 68,
    Link: http://www.pwdatabase.com/pwi/items/8347

    Having that helm even with no shards or refines adds roughly 255 hp, wich is alwasy a good thing. The "gimped" dmg really isnt, cause once you hit 105 str you do 5 dex till the end of time. Plus even with my "gimped" dmg i do steal aggro from barbs my lvl.

    Although i will say once you hit 105 str, you dont need it anymore. And some vit is good to help in not dying from aoes or unwanted aggro, but later on you can restat it gone so rember that.
