Lone Wolf Solo Assassin Breakthru!!

Although most people recommend you reset at 160 because backstab level two is unlocked by that level, I recommend assasins who aren't in the proper final stage of their stats reset at around 180+. Why? Two words:

"Premature Resets"

--Not enough stats to go around to actually feel the strength of what it truly is to be a backstab assassin.

I don't think you read properly... Well, others recommend you reset at 160 but I would recommend lv180.

Assassin can be many way, like fla, his old build is mainly for tanky n evasion.

My assassin build dun hav dex, but I hav agi. so I can grind mob easily (either by backstab or auto kill)

It still ok to reset @ level 140, for easy leveling, u can max ur aspd, make ur crt rate at min 70. The rest goes to int.
After int max, u can choose to add dex or str.

Whether add agi or not it's depends on ur need.

has anyone given thought to the Base max Agi, max crit, then max in build for assassin? this build would appear to create a BS/dps assassin. its the way im approaching my assassin. Im lvl 159 with max agi, 230 crit, and will be olugging points into int as soon as crit is maxed in a few levels. Any feedback?

yeah atm it is for me too and doing things like mega to lvl can be a serious pain. But from what i have heard/seen around i expect it to be a big payout, with the ability to increase your damage done by backstab while maintaining you attack speed and boosting both your evasion and magic evasion to maximum. Id have to think that that combined with the deathblow and other skills that boost assassin's evasion/crit/atk that wud make this build out to be extremely worth it.

Try to improve your damage output. Swap sharpness 2 with attack crystals. Reason why we don't use much crit dmg crystals is because there isn't any good ones out yet. Well, raaton *_* is still long. Furthermore, we have adequate buffs that add much to our crit dmg. Hawk 2 with Execute 2 provides a total of +32% crit dmg! This in turn boosts your overall crit dmg to 307% with max crt stat.
Int is good for mdef, mana pool, magic penetration and +2 dmg, dex good for skill delay and +1 dmg, str good for physical penetration and +2 dmg. Hint here on how to add ur stats...
We don't use cspd, it's only skill delay backstabbers are worried about. A perfect damage assassin don't go for hp, they sacrifice vitality for damage output- they aren't the tankers in a party after all.
On how to build up a perfect assassin, it takes loads of funding and determination as much of our best skills, is not even released yet.
