A class that is good at sneaking around like a lion circling around its prey. Using bleed effects to finish off their enemies quickly, they certainly earn the title of "Assassin". They are rather fragile, but can quickly deal massive damage to an enemy. They have some debuffs which can allow them to survive for longer, such as stun and channel cancel.

Assassin Weapons
Damage Chart: Lower-Low-Medium-High-Higher
Attack Speed Chart: Slower-Slow-Medium-Fast-Faster
Dagger
The primary weapon. Short Range, Medium-Faster attack speed, Low-High damage. Some assassins use fists for the interval they can have on them.
Assassin Armor
Light armor is ideal for this class due to their high dexterity. Heavy armor isn't a very effective alternative since dexterity, and not strength, determines their damage, hence damage is reduced due to the extra strength needed to wear heavy armor, and since they lack the HP to be able to suffer the larger amount of hits they will receive.
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 enemies that cannot see them. Assassins don't have much HP or physical or magical defense so they need to be quick and kill the enemy within seconds before they get a chance to fight back. However, when faced with heavy armor classes like the BM and barb, they will find killing them quickly enough to be difficult. Evasion helps, but if even one move hits it's probably going to be either half to a third of your HP, so may want to avoid attacking the heavy armor users.
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. This can be useful in instances when there are walkers/adds causing chaos. They can use there stun/interrupt skills to help in crowd control though they lack AoE
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. That said, at higher levels many assassins can live off the Bloodpaint buff, with such high damage and aps that they make back more HP than the mobs can take off.
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.
