Anyway sword's critical hits arent good so the damage isnt worth it

Very bad. If you want to use a different weapon on an assassin, go dervish secondary and use a scythe. Scythes hit for a LOT more damage and can hit 3 foes at once. With critical strikes up to 13-16, it is a huge damage dealer.

sword sin works, but not really good.
if you want big ass daggers, take shiro's daggers.
imo best dagger skin, they're the size of small swords.

There is a great pve build you can use that works very well to solo farm physical monsters, for instance the trolls outside of droks. It's centered around one hundred bladeds, whirlwind attack, critical agility, critical defense, way of perfection, "for great justice", critical eye, and way of the master. When one hundred bladeds is combined with whirlwind attack, every attempted hit made with whirlwind attack, even if it is blocked, triggers hundred bladeds, so if u ball up 10 trolls, one whirlwind attack will trigger hundred bladeds 10 times, do good damage to each foe with the actual sword considering you get +damage from whirlwind attack and huge chance of critical strike, combined with 33% increased attack speed , 100% increased adrenalin gain, and amazing defense and healing which is triggered through each critical hit. The result is one of the fastest troll farming builds around. I recommend a vampiric sword with +15% damage while enchanted and +5 armor, and a shield with +45 hp while enchanted and recieved physical damage -2 while enchanted.

Sword crits are meh just like the Spear crits so the idea itself is prety ineffective. I would advise you stick with Daggers or Critscythes.

Is it possible to use scythes without WotM? I just dont happen to have EOTN... but have a decent scythe... would like to try it out, but what are the options using only Proph, Fact, and NF?

Critical eye, critical agility, and aura of holy might are the staples. Use eremite's attack and mystic sweep for high spiking damage. Sprinkle with your choice of a scythe elite, fill in the rest with whatever skills tickle your fancy and you're good to go.

I've tried this before in RA and it isn't very good. You're better off just using daggers.
