Assassin in cRPG

[Fuma Kotaro]

Hey guys,
Which build and which gear would you recomment

;) thx for help

[martyrAD]

stabby sword, 18/21

[Penitent]

Crossbow, lots of wpf, aim for head.  Take out important targets.

Best assassin.

[Boerenlater]

Long dagger, high agi build.

[Gurnisson]

15/24

5 ps, 8 ath, 8 wm. Some 1H wpf, most in xbows.

Arbalest, Steel Bolts and Espada

[Corwin]

Crossbow, lots of wpf, aim for head.  Take out important targets.

Best assassin.

This. And not the xbow, use the arbalest.

[WITCHCRAFT]

I don't know how fast or hard-hitting you would want to be, but arbalest/heavy crossbow, steel bolts, and a fast 1H with good thrust fits the assassin idea pretty well.

Heavy Crossbow / Steel Bolts / Broad Short Sword or Espada Eslavona (or Dagger/Long Dagger if you feel pro).

You only need 12 strength to use all of that. Wear very light armor and use your large pool of attribute/skill points to get high agility, athletics, and weapon master. Don't skip the 4 points on power strike though.

With this build, you can circle around the map, taking longer paths that usually don't get used. Get behind the enemy team and start taking down people from behind. Try not to get surrounded by a mob. remember, you can outrun almost anyone else, so if you are outnumbered back off and find somewhere safe to reload your crossbow. If you can get right behind an enemy don't waste your bolt, a few quick sword thrusts will kill them.

Don't bother with shurikens or smoke bombs. They will only alert enemies that you are there.

edit: this tactic will also net you a bunch of tasty AFK kills when you reach the enemy spawn before anyone else on your team.

I'd like to add to the above ideas with a tactic:

If you come up behind an unaware enemy, attack like this:

1: Hold your thrust attack for about 0.6 seconds for maximum damage on release, stab them preferably into the back of their head
2: Immediately after the stab lands, kick the enemy so they get staggered which leads to...
3: Stab them again or overhead strike their head while they are briefly immobile and defenseless from the kick

This combo should kill any archer and most crossbowmen (those tend to be more armored), depends on your build too of course.

Santa suit, deli hat only shuriken

like a boss

built like awesome 27/12 or 24/15 for fasty fasty

Throwing with high PT can make throwing daggers or shurikens hurt pretty bad, but in my mind an assassin's job is to sneak behind enemies and deliver a single crippling bow.

Even with 10 Power Throw, you will have a hard time killing people in one hit. As soon as a group of archers hear the sound of projectiles coming at them from behind, they will turn around and then you're screwed.

Well done not reading ANY of the posts in reply to your query....

why? heavy crossbow requires 12 str if I maximize my agi then I can have 30 if not 27 point 1 clear

And noone told me an armor and thats what the 2nd point was about

Btw. Who called BlindGuy?

Interesting thread

And I like when people mentioned assassins, they didn't go all assassin's creed.

I might do something like this next gen.

[Fuma Kotaro]

Well it's not specially assassins creed I just didn't want to say Ninja because I don't want to use the Katana and when I say assassin then it should also be clear what I mean :
