The Assassin is a stealthy and deadly character capable of high damage in a short span of time. The primary weapon of the Assassin is in daggers, usually dual wielding and often times opponent do not last long against this deadly opponent. The Assassin is one of two new classes that will be available in Guild Wars: Factions. Below is a complete list of its attributes and skills.
Due to the fact that during the PvP Beta Event Weekend we can only create PvP characters, it is unknown at this time what skill set newly created Assassin characters will receive.

Dagger Mastery: Dagger Mastery increases damage and critical hit strikes while wielding daggers. Also, the higher Dagger Mastery is in rank, the more double strikes the Assassin will receive. |
