If you don't have access to Nightfall, then replace critical agility w/ some other skill.

If you dont have access to critical agility.. i wouldn't make an assassin tbh assassins would be shit without critical agility. It wouldn't be my main if their were no critical agility. Added Armor + 33% attack boost.. amazing and i usually have it on all the time.

MS+DM was still good before nightfall.

how do i get crit agility if its on nightfall and i got it there through hero skills with my sin on factions, and whats a good rune spread

You can't. You'll have to get your Sin to NF first.

Buy and use an elite tome for Moebius ASAP. That + Blossom is your damage engine. At lower levels, my bar looked like this.

[skill]critical defenses[/skill][skill]golden phoenix strike[/skill][skill]death blossom[/skill][skill]moebius strike[/skill][skill]wild blow[/skill][skill]shroud of distress[/skill][skill]shadow refuge[/skill][skill]dark escape[/skill]

CS at either 8/9 or 13, depending on what you can afford. Try to have at least 10 DM, and 8 Shadow (5 is ok too).

Easy to use, try to keep up Shroud at all times. Send in the henchies, and let 'em create a mess, then dive at the thing you want dead most (EDIT: Talon was my best hench friend in Cantha. 'Charge!' is quite useful here), activate CritDef and start bashing away - using Wild Blow as often as you need to guarantee CritDef staying online. Use Refuge if you feel like it but if you notice too much pressure coming your way, run like hell with DEscape because you won't survive prolonged attention from strong foes even with the blocks up. It's worse when faced with an enchant strip - that is and will always be hell for PvE Sins.

The main difference between a Sin and a Warrior in PvE is an exchange of DPS for lower armour. You'll have to massively alter your playstyle if that's what you're used to. IMO, it's worth it.

this is what I use atm. And please, I made this build by myself:

Attributes:

Assassin/Dervish

Dagger~11+1
Critical~ 11+2
Earth ~ 9

[skill]Golden Phoenix Strike[/skill] [skill]Death Blossom[/skill] [skill]Moebius Strike[/skill] [skill]Critical Defenses[/skill] [skill]Critical Agility[/skill] [skill]Mystic Regeneration[/skill] and then some random rez. I usually use Sunspear Rebirth Signet.

hm, since the OP is after ideas for an A/N, I'd recommend [skill]Rigor Mortis[/skill] .. at zero investment in Curses, it's still a LOT better'n [skill]Expose Defenses[/skill], {those numbers are incorrect btw} will help you off those pesky rangers ~

That and having monks/rit healers in your team (Beware of Smite and Channeling =P)

Just have to quote an old movie

"Only A Ninja can kill a Ninja"
