Darkside:
The Assassins are perfectly suited for players who favor melee combat to the use of long distance spells. They are a nice alternative to any class, and even if their main strength resides in their combat techniques, they still have a few tricks in their bags to deter foes from a distance.
The Assassins bring the concept of Charge-up skills and Finishing moves, a combination of skills that enhances the damage dealt with each strike. Charge-up skills and Finishing Moves don't have to be used on the same opponent. When facing tough crowds led by a Boss, use the Charge-up skills on the minions, and the Finishing Move on Boss.
To summarize this description, the Assassin is a powerful character for those who are willing to intensively reassign their keyboard keys. More casual players will not bring their Assassin to the fullest of its capabilities.
The Assassin's skill tree is separated in three sections: Martial Arts, Shadow Disciplines, and Traps.
