Aion Assassin Class Guide

In this Aion assassin class guide I will try to present the main advantages and disadvantages while playing the assassin. Remember the rogues in World of Warcraft ? Well, the assassin in Aion is precisely that, the main killer in the game. They have the highest DPS at close range fights and their main ability is stealth, therefore one good strategy for assassin is to approach your target while hidden and then hit it hard and fast. They have stun attacks, poison attacks and their primary weapons are daggers and swords. Assassins have the best evasion skill in the game, but when they actually get hit, they receive tons of damage. Leveling rate in Aion while playing the assassin is moderate. You will not level as fast as a sorcerer, but not as slow as a cleric for example.
Basically, the assassin in Aion is an offensive class, with high DPS and surprise attacks. I think that while playing the assassin you can never get bored especially in PvP because you can infiltrate behind enemy lines and gank dezorientated players. Another good ability for the assassin is the counter-attacks. After you receive a direct hit, you can perform good counter-atack skills. In extreme cases you can become a secondary tank thanks to your evasion skill but you need a good healer as backup.

Assasin's main weakness is the armour types available for them. Only cloth and leather. But this is compensated by their insane evasion skill. When you attack a mob you must do it from the back because of your backstab skill and the crit rate. In group this is very easy but when you play solo this can become a problem.

I will continue this Aion assassin class guide with the advantages and disadvatages pointet out.

Advantages for the assassin class in Aion:

- very high melee DPS and highest crits in the game at melee range
