Assassin



Assassin characters can only be created on accounts that have access to Guild Wars Factions.

Critical Strikes (Primary)
For each point spent on this primary attribute, the Assassin gains an additional 1% chance to score a critical hit. Assassins can also gain Energy whenever they score a critical hit in this way. The higher the rank, the more energy gained per critical hit.

Dagger Mastery
Increasing the Dagger Mastery attribute boosts the damage the Assassin inflicts with daggers and the chance to land a critical hit with a dagger. Many skills, especially dagger attack skills, become more effective with increased Dagger Mastery. This attribute also improves your chance of performing a Double Attack and striking with both daggers at once.

Deadly Arts
Increase the Deadly Arts attribute to improve the duration and effectiveness of Hexes and other skills that make a single enemy vulnerable to the Assassin’s strikes and many half range spells.

Shadow Arts
Put points into the Shadow Arts attribute to improve skills that boost the Assassin’s defenses and allow instantaneous shadow movement. Also keeping them alive longer, and giving them a heal in the process.
