I run A/W (when I use my sin) for "Save Yourselves".

N/A for some nice conditions with Virulence and Norn shouts, then hit 'em with Sig of Toxic Shock and Sig of Deadly corruption, then spam some more Necrosis. Armor ignoring N/A spikes ftw!

If you own Nightfall, you can use the Nightfall secondaries. You may need to travel to Nightfall to do it (not sure atm.)

Same example - A/M - I am a SOLO player and always take a healer hench with me and find I am a Terrible Terrible Healer! So I do Not need the skills of a healer.

It's definitely true that you shouldn't try to be a healer as an Assassin, but there are other reasons for using /Mo besides healing. In many, many cases people don't actually use any skills from their secondary and just use /Mo for the rez skills. For example, my A/Mo (non-perma) build uses all Assassin skills (plus "You Move Like A Dwarf") and only has Rebirth from the /Mo. Some Sin builds may use Monk protection skills or Smiting skills, etc.

I have other "old" characters that need a revamp and thought I would ask here What Is Your Favorite Combo and WHY?

Now that you mention it, most of my characters only use skills from their primary. They are mostly /Mo just for the rez, and some don't even use that. One exception is my Monks which, when used as damage dealers (RoJ), are M/Me or M/N
In my case, this is partly because most of my current builds use some of the PvE-only skills which aren't class specific.

So basically, for a secondary, use whatever floats your boat, or none at all.

Play around with secondary professions. as an assassin, your critical strikes attributes is very useful in making nice martial weapon builds, often reffered as "crit scythe, crit bow, etc." switching secondary isn't too costly, and will help you a lot in exploring the great stuff from all skills available to you. Some caster possibilities are also viable, i.e. with Assassin's promise and the use of PvE skills. I like using "cores" for my build, then play around with the rest of it ^^

I personally play A/N a lot, and just for 1 single skill :P (I chain you move like a dwarf, fetid ground, and signet of toxic shock and some more skills for a neat spike)
