assassin template,suggestion

[ninjaijk]

i have in mind a few ideas for an assassin.i would like as many suggestion as possible,i heard its possible to build a "glass sword" tipe character,capable of doing a great ammount of dmg in a very short span.
here'e what i have come up with:

#1 archer
95 str 80 dex 50 int
115 archer
100 tactic
100 hide
115 stealth
115 ninja
100 med
55 necro
necro for evil omen+fukya for lethal,follow deathstrike,follow solid special from weapon,maybe armor pierce from yumi?doeas fukya requires poison?if so,i swap med for poison.how good is the combo eo+fukya?is it reliable?
anyway,heal with spellweaving (joat) and running

#2 fencer
100 str 75 dex 50 int
115 fencing
100 tactic
100 hide
115 stealth
115 ninja
80 poison
75 med

infectus strike+death strike+armor ignore.again heal with sw.question on stats:is 75 dex enough to swing kriss full speed?100 str should add a bonus to dmg,right?

items hci,ssi,di on both.anything else?


wich one you think is best?will they work?
any other good template?keep in mind at the time i cant afford 120's.i also want hide and stealth,and possibly ninja.

thanks to all.

Here is my assassin template, not quite finished but I have ad to stop killng for the moment as I have reached 4 counts so doing something right hehe. (I will be going red, just wanna finish up training first)

fencing 120
ninja 120
Tactics 100
stealth 90 (120 with jewels)
hiding 100
bushid 100
poison 90.

Here is why I chose this template. combined ninja / stealth at 120 with 100 hiding = 50 dmg deathstrikes! also being able to move in animal form uinseenis great for an assassin. please note that using the darts or the starts you can only inflict deadly poison. Leathal coms from he infectious strike or the mage spell if yoyu were running a nox mage.

Bushido is used for confidence heals and also has helped out wehile training my skills (honour and LS and momentum strike ect)
I went with 90 poison so I habve a higher chance of inflicting lethal. 100 tactics for the manage boost to regular hits nd armour ignore.

What I usually do is have 2 weps on the go, a war fork and a Kryss,
Find my mark... if its a mage I open with a bleed then switch to Kryss and drop a infect. AI + Deathstrike.. by this time if they are a good mage they will heal up and toast me.... if therenot a good mage they will be read lined and running.... I will always get killed by a decent mage , or have to run and hide at least. not as many "good" mages out there as I would have hoped though lol. mages I usually kill at the moment.

For Melee I open with disarm/bleed then switch out for kryss for the infect/AI - depending on whats happening I will hold off on the death strike. most regular PvPers will hold their nerve and stay stock still when you drop a death strike. I alwys try to wait until they break and run before I drop it.. always betterto hit for 50 damage rather than 20 if they stay still!

I opeted to got for some mana regain on my suit rather than med/focus as I am not planning on sustained fights. I have MR3 on 2 pieces and I have stayed human so have JoAT med/focus. If i needto I will pop a smoke bomb and follow them around hidden to regenerate then launh another attack.


Hope this helps.

thanks for the explanation.i have a few questions:
what are your stats? disarm+bleed+ai+infect+ds is a hell of a mana
how can you use bushido without parry? wasnt confidence supposed to heal every time you parry? this is the only skill i dont understand,why not chivalry?sounds interesting,though,a luky lightning strike may be devasting...

Without parry conf still gives an amazing boost to HPR for short time and without fast cast / FCR chiv wouldn't be a choice for me and I couldn't squeeze it in on the suit. Stats I am running are 150 str / 150 hp - 66ish dex 100ish stam with 10SSI on my suit = max swing with no SSI on weps) 96 int - 140 approx mana figures are approx as I am at work.
its ALL about the mana with an assassin, well that and the HP but basically if you got mana you got damage potential, by having the SSI on my suit i can cram more onto weps and having high mana and the right ammount of LMC and skills to reduce the cost down is the key really. Also I forgot to menion that as you are fighting you should drop mirror images as you can to deflect some of the melee hits onto. also worth mentioning is the fukiya and ninja belt, while you can't inflict LP its still a mana free way of keeping poson pressure on your mark, another good thing to mention is shadow strike... I have a dagger in my pack that I swap out to for if I am getting whacked, shadows strik, ick wounds, back in the fray. all good fun,
