Assassin

Post your Assassin advice here.

Well... As the top-level Assassin so far (haha)**edit: I have turned a new leaf... Rangers BABY!** I do have a few tips for those who plan on making one:

1. Choose a race you enjoy looking at (big thing for everyone)
   
2. Choose gear that gives both AGI and Str (need the str for bonus dmg on sneak attacks etc.)
   
3. Agi = +dmg for your ranged attacks, which help out nicely if you are kiting while waiting for a stun to cooldown
   
4. During fights, practice your timing for a Stun/knockdown followed by a quick side-step and one of your many backstab/ambush attacks
   
5. Frequently use your Aggro-Drop abilities
   
6. Keep your poisons on (and don't be afraid to spend money on them, as they help alot i.m.o.)
   
7. Keep your weapons up-to-par for your level, because that's your most important aspect as a DPS class.
   
8. Keep as many weapon skills as high (if not maxed) as possible, for later on down the road.
   
9. Choose the right character traits and AA's that suit YOUR playstyle, not some forum you read somewhere. (it's all about enjoying your money/time spent, right?)
   
10. Don't ever let anyone tell you that kiting is dumb for an assassin... if that were the case, then Sony wouldn't have given you a snare and ranged attacks.
