By far my favorite character for PvE. And no matter what anyone says, Assassins can tank; I achieved Legendary Survivor on the first try and never touched a bow. I hero/henched my way there and spent most of the time on the front line.

My second favorite PvE character; combining an SS / Desecrate / Defile necro with 2 SF elementalists and a minion master should be called "Easy Mode". The reports of Soul Reaping's death have been greatly exaggerated. I use Arcane Echo, SS, Desecrate, Defile, repeat ad infinitum, and I still never run out of energy.

In my second attempt at Legendary Survivor, I'm going to try to get there only with missions and quests, rather than capturing skills as I did with my asssassin.
