[edit] Job description

In Rappelz game history, there are those who are the decendants of Gods/Angels of Light Deva, Descendants of Man/Humans Gaia, and the decendants of Gods/Angels of Destruction Asura. Assassins are the descendants of Angels of Destruction. As the Deva Class are concerned with all things Holy, Gaia Class are devoted to all things of Earth/Nature, Assassins are concerned with all things of Destruction. In the lore, Assassins were sent to assist the Humans by assisting them via Destruction.

Assassins (aka Sins) are one of the two 2nd Class Jobs for Striders. They excel in melee damage and can disappear if needed. They have complete control of Aggro and are useful in many different situations for this reason.

Strengths:

• The Asuran Race were created to yield destruction. No other race in Rappelz was created to do so. Saying that assassins are Good Damage Dealers is akin to saying "Light moves kind of fast". Assassins are Pure Damage Dealers. With Actives and correct weapon building damage is completely overwhelming. The damage that Assassins can yield seems to have been lost in translation somewhere..

• Pure Damage Dealers.
• High Accuracy and Movement Speed.
• Can cloak or dissapear from sight indefinitely with Cloak of Shadow. Cool down timer allows for indefinite cloak.
• Complete control of Aggro. This is achieved via stunning mobs or Distortion of Rage
• Can pull any Boss in any Dungeon over to party members, allow party to chip or attack Boss, then cloak, rejoin attack. **Note will change somewhat in E6 as some mobs will be able to sense cloaking.
• Highly requested in DP's as they are true Damage Dealers. Also fequently requested to chip during DP's as they have decent defense (not on par with a tank).

Weaknesses:

• Defense is not as good as Knight or Soldier. Defense is much stronger than any mage class. Assassins are Damage Dealers with adequate basic armor defense passives. Evasion is part of the Assassin build as well. Enchanted armor is highly recommended and will allow armor to be "better than average". Highly enchanted warrior armor on high level assassins becomes "very good or excellent". Armor (Warrior or Hunter) should be enchanted to remove squishy effect.
• Assassin class requires dexterity and forethought in attacking (thus its name).
  • Assassin impact has cooldown period for those who dual wield, thus reducing potential damage during DPs. (Although it's only 2 minutes cool down if it's maxed)

Pets:

• Wolf- It may be the best pet for Assasins as its Belt- Card abilities are 10% bonus agility and 10% bonus evasion. With this Assasins can evade most of the shots made by white mobs because theis Agility is the best compared to all other classes.
• Skeleton- Belt-Card ability is Agility-10% and Atk Speed-10% making Assasins evade and Hit quick shots. Dirks can be the best combined with 10% attack Speed and Skills.

Recommended Builds:

• Strength/Vitality is the preferred build, as assassins are masters of melee. There are some who profess to a Strength/Agility build as well. A single Dexterity stone in a build (assists with Accuracy), as well as a single Wisdom stone (assists with Stuns) prove useful in building assassins. Either you want to evade the blow, or you want to minimize the damage. Either way, you will want to destroy the target.
• Assassins have passive skills for Swords/Dirks/Crossbows. Dual wielding is a preferred method. Daggers have faster attacks, Swords have slower swing more Damage. Assassins have ACTIVE SKILLS that also take advantage of 2 handed weapon damage (Dark Strike, Bloody Blade, Charge Stab, Smite). Assassins also have jobtree skills and complete passives for Crossbows (only 1st job skills for a Strider) as well as dagger/swords. Assassins can kill with meelee or from a distance with stealth.
• As with other classes, weapon enchanting is highly recommended. Few assassins take advantage of their potential damage (as other classess do) and do not enchant their weapons sufficiently. Enchanted swords/dirks on an assassin create overwhelming damage. Armor should be carefully considered.

Notable Skills:

• Assassin Impact - dual wield only (swords/dirks), chance of concurrent attack. Higher levels of this skill creates pure target decimation (Mob or Player).
• Cloak of Shadow - Allows assassin to vanish from sight. Cooldown timer allows Assassin to stay invisible indefinitely. Very useful when stealth is needed. Watch timer or you un-hide in a most unfortunate place ^^. Also E6 will change this somewhat, as many (almost every) mobs will be able to detect cloaked movement.
• Apocalypse - dual wield only (swords/dirks). One of Two AOE skills for assassin Class. 9 concurrent hits. Raises threat, causes damage to all targets around you.
• Deadly Dancing - dual wield only (swords/dirks). Damage can be on par with Apocalypse except is target on a single mob/player.
• Fatal Wave - AOE skill. Does high damage. Will only AoE in the direct wave is thrown. Requires some practice.
• Bloody Blade - Dual/Single/Two Handed Sword. Damages and Pulls HP from Target. Higher levels of this will return thousands of HP points.
• Dark Strike - Dual/Single/Two Handed Weapon. 3 hits as once. Does high damage.
• Head Breaker - Dual/Single/Two Handed Weapon. Causes Fear for decent duration.
• Charge Stab - Low Mana Cost, Fast Cooldown. Useful in DP to quickly strike a mob.
• Concentration- Increases Accuracy. Allows assassins to hit mobs/players much higher than their own level.
• Shadow Rush - Assassin will move hyper fast across good distances to stun target. Excellent skill.
• Shadow Wound - Must be cloaked. Once cast on target, will force assassin out of cloak, cause damage, and cause target to loose accuracy (40%) for a short period of time.
• Sudden Rush- Assassins movement speed can increase (for short duration) to almost double normal speed when carded. When running allows distances to be covered much faster. High cool down time on this.
• Blinding Dust - Blind effect on target, basic attacks of mob/player sealed.
• Sonic Cross - Dual Wield. Stuns target and does damage in one motion.
• Deep Evasion - Excellent temporary Evasion increase. Great for evading attack or mobs anywhere (field or dungeon). Not Broke contrary to opinion.

Other Notable Skills:

• • There is an entire branch of skills assocation with being Cloaked.
  • Shadow Stab - Increased damage. Generally not worth losing cloak.
  • Shadow Crash - Cancels cloak and stuns for a short period of time. Melee range.
  • Shadow Wound - Cancels cloak and debuffs target with Bleeding and reduced Accuracy. Very effective against physical damage classes when combined with Deep Evasion.
  • Crimson Turbulence - Very short ranged Stun (longer than melee range) with AOE. High Damage
  • There is an entire skill tree for assassins when using crossbows (secondary weapon). If you wish to use crossbows as a main weapon, you should choose the Shadow Hunter class. Also Asura race.

Broken:

• Cross Block - Perhaps will be fixed in E6? (nope, maybe in E7? heh heh)
• Sonic Blade- Requires only one sword or dirk equipped; does not work with dual wield.
• Attack speed unity will gets cut in half when dual wielding, an unfair penalty because with dual wielding the attack power is already divided in half.
