3rd Job Preview: The Assassin

Details: Category: Updates; Published on Monday, 11 February 2013 02:30

A proficient single-target direct damager with an arsenal of status ailments to boost damage.

The Assassin is a powerful direct damager that is extremely useful in a group due to their attacks' many debuffs.

After advancing from the Shadow Walker you will find many updated skills and new ones including ranged attacks (Spectral Dagger, Shadow Blast, Terrify), a Sleep (Hypnosis), an AoE (Psychic Raze) and a new buff (Void Assumption). Some skills from the Shadow Walker tree have been upgraded as part of a new combo attack with an evil finisher (Exterminate).
