Actually, this class is very hard to solo. You can play special throwing assassin, but damage will be bad.

Well technically you could still opt for a solo build, but your damage would be pretty lackluster compared to that of a pure bs spam build. Check out Flarius' Lone Wolf Assassin thread stickied here for more info. -- To sum it up though, you'd want to put AGI and a little VIT on your sin to get more survivability early on, then add INT and CRIT as you lvl for more damage.

Gear-wise, with the new Special Throwing weapons out, you'd get +1 ATK per VIT, AGI, and INT so you'd have better damage early on compared to if you use a normal throwing weapon.

I had this build until I restated at around lvl 240:

180 AGI
Max INT
70 VIT
Max Crit
100 Green Lines

With Gears (I don't remember them too well atm, will update with my gears then) I had 10k+ HP, good enough magic evasion that I don't get hit a lot, around 1400 EVA with self buffs, and a respectable ABS eva that I don't get hit by crits too often, and I often survive random hits going through.

Damage-wise it was still pretty good since (1) you can still backstab every now and then with a few -SD gears and ALs and (2) weave your auto attacks in between. It's still very far off from the damage that a pure BS Spam sin would output, though.

When you get enough levels in (240 is a godsend because of Sicarius), you'd also want to consider restating to a Pure BS build since survivability isn't an issue anymore as you kill almost everything with your BS, and you still get very high EVA and Magic EVA from skills and passives.

Sins aren't dead in this game -- we're still very much thriving, just erase your idea of what an assassin is from different MMOs, since we function a little differently in Iruna.

For this build you'd want to get a Hard Baselardo since it gives a little MP back with each auto attack so you could spam Deathblow on cooldown. And btw, Deathblow consumes all of your MP. Its damage is still very good even if you cast it at 1 MP. Lastly, it also gives a Special Effect buff for 10 seconds where you can recast Shadow Walk while taking aggro from mobs and not get the HP penalty (Shadow Walk duration would still be 10/20 seconds depending on Lv 1/2 since you're actively attacking/being attacked).
