Overhaul ze assassins! Changes...some I feel are good ideas, some eh...the main goal is to try pull away from instagib nubness and to put a tad bit of skill giving the assassin powerful (but short) disrupting and disabiling abilities giving it a more threatening ability. Flame away. (bolded things are functionality changes) Scaling is 1...12...15. I am in no way a pro and I don't know why I made this but after lurking a few, taking the good high ranked advice I saw, I put some things that might make the assassin a better profession. :P
