Assassin Common Stat Builds

There are three main stat builds an assassin can take. Assassins' damage is affected by dexterity, and not strength like normal melee classes, and therefore their stat builds will have a lot in common with archers. Daggers require three dexterity every level.

Pure Dexterity Build:

• 4 Dexterity
• 1 Strength

Note: A pure dexterity build gives the assassin the highest DPS and highest critical hit rate out of any other assassin build. This is at the price of defense of course.

Vitality Build v1:

• 3.5 Dexterity
• 1 Strength
• 0.5 Vitality

Vitality Build v2:

• 3 Dexterity
• 1 Strength
• 1 Vitality

Note: These builds add some survivability while taking away some damage.

The vitality builds are the two easiest builds for assassin and the most viable.

The only other build that can be done is a heavy armor build, but it requires 3 dexterity and 2.5 strength every level, when you only get 5 points to spend each level, meaning that some of the stats will have to be found on the gear and there is no room for vitality. Also, the damage will be lower.
