Assassin

A class that is good at sneaking around like a lion circling around its prey. Using bleed effects to finish their enemies of quickly, they make perfect Tideborns to earn the title of "Assassins".

Assassin Armor

The Light Armor suits this class best. But if you like more Psychical defense, use Heavy Armor.

Assassin in PvP

Opinion 1: I'd think assassin is really good in one-on-one PvP because of the critical hit skills that Assassins have. They have very good chances of a critical hit and an OK Psychical defense. Otherwise, being surround is the big weakness in Assassins. They like killing people one by one, and lack AOE skills, so it's pretty good to attack in a place that has one or two PVPers that are around your level.

Opinion 2: Assassins are good in PvP only if they use their stealth to sneak up on people lower level than them and kill the other person before the other person kills them. Assassins don't have much HP or physical or magical defense, and upgrading them with shards helps, but their defense will always be a burden to them, making them easy to kill. The evasion they have also helps, but other classes that have a lot of accuracy, and magical classes, will be their worst enemy.

Assassin in PvE

Opinion 1: PvE is something that Assassins are very good at. Like in PvP, Assassins are only good if they're fighting one-on-one. If not, then killing your attackers very quickly one at a time is a pretty good solution.

Opinion 2: Assassins are between bad and okay in PvE, like in PvP. If the assassin kills the enemy first, then that's good. But with such low HP and resistances, it's hard to kill a mob before it deals damage nearly equal to half your HP. After killing a mob, you might need to use potions, meditate, or maybe your charm will tick. It's better to do quests or grind with someone who can tank or heal you. After all, assassins, like archers, are pure damage dealers.

Assassin in Territory Wars

Assassins works very easily if they are unnoticed, they can hide behind allies and strike at enemies that are busy killing others, and even high-level people might be an easy target for assassins. If you're working as a team I recommend obtaining Barbarians and Blademasters for hiding. Because while they stand out, you can sneak behind them and kill the enemy.
