About Sin builds.

[Megadeus]

I've been reading some of the newer guides on the Hs database, and I've read up on a few possible builds for an Assassin:
(This is DIRECTLY quoted from those guides)
Speed sin: (my personal choice) ^_^ they can do fair damage and dish it out at an alarming rate.
Main skills: haste (your party will love you), javelin booster.

Tank sin: BAM!!! They can smack down the damage. A little slower but do up to 200% more damage 50% of the time when critical throw is maxed. And you don't have to worry about your hp as much.
Main skills: critical throw, endure, and drain.

Hybrid: Very effective style. Combine good hp/damage with speedy delivery.
Main skills: all

I already know that down the road I want to be the "Hybrid" type Assassin, but I know that I'm just going to have to stick to ONE type to help me lvl faster.
So which do you think I should start off as until I can get to being the other type of assassin?
Speed or Tank Assassin?

(I'm leaning more to tank since more crit=better dmg)

That guide is.. er... sorta dumb. You want to go for critical, then booster, and haste. Sorta like going tank until u max critical, then going speed.

[LittoLoner]

just do this

10 mastery
max crit
max haste
mastery again till 19
10 booster
3 endure
max drain
rest on booster ^^

and one more thing
the 10 mastery is like this
30 - 1 mastery
31 - 3 master (4)
32 - 3 crit
33 - 3 mastery (7)
34 - 3 crit (6)
35 - 3 mastery (10) - STOP HERE
36 - 3 Crit .. etc.

Uh.. Assassins will end up being the same anyway. Either Endure or Drain will get jipped, most likely Endure since people just use Pots to regain lost HP/MP.

I'd just worry about getting Critical Throw maxed at the moment, then go from there.

[Megadeus]

yeah, I'm hoping that one of the higher lvl assassins here see this
I want their advice mostly.
(but u guys helped also! :) )

the idea of 2 kind of sins is dumb.........
all sins will need critical, haste, booster and eventually drain

(WOW, a pro Assassin actually ANSWERED my question instead of calling me n00b! :D )

Yes, I realize that ALL assassins will get most of the skills to a good level, but which one should I go with to help me level faster?
After I finish up that build, then I'll get the other one going.

i'm not a pro assasin so.......
3 to mastery
30 to critical(maxed)
This is the part i'm doing different than other sins, because other sins want attack speed and get 5 to booster........i want haste first
20 to haste(maxed)
then spend skill points in mastery, booster and drain.....
like 1 in mastery, 1 to booster, 1 to drain

my friend got some Critical then got 10 haste then maxed critical. He said it was a funner way to make it. do as u like tho

best build ever it's what im following tooo :3 except i got booster and well at 6 it helps muchisomo more than haste :P
you get to ks mages for fun :D and on top of that well it jsut reaps in benefits..

ever had some mage just jump down and try and pwn your spawn in GoG well booster makes that all go away..if you are skilled at being an assassin and have some booster you can stop any mage in his tracks :P
