The weapons and skills of Assassins in Aion Online

Assassins are allowed to equip swords, daggers and bows, which is similar to Scouts. They choose different weapons according to their needs. Swords are good at hit rate but poor at average attacks speed and critical rate. Daggers are able to launch critical hits and have exceptional attack speed with the exception of low accuracy.
Assassins use bows for long-ranged DPS. The features of their combat skills are blade-oriented, as a result, they will not be able to efficiently use their skills without using a sword or a dagger.
Their main armor is leather armors. Heavy armor can protect them well but with a penalty. Although light armor can not offer proper protection, assassins can employ stealth abilities they are able to safely bypass unsuspecting enemies before landing a critical blow.
Assassins’ passive skills are enhanced based on the Scouts’ version. Those skilled are improved as Assassins are progressed through levels. Assassins are given the abilities to use cloaking while in fight, this is made as one of the tactical approached a skilled assassin can employ. Assassins are able to apply poisons to their weapons, and this makes them able to stun and poison enemies at a fixed rate per attack. With the combination of an assassin’s deadly accuracy and his or her equipped weapons’ attack speed, you will have an unstoppable killer at your disposal. The targets launched by assassins can be marked with engraved patterns. It performs like a stackable chain with an increase per attack. For instance, one more pattern level will be added to it after hitting an enemy. Use the skill once more will be up to ‘two pattern levels’ and so on.
