Issue

The assassins have very few defensive skills, compared to ranger who have higher dps more condition inflicts, and more defense.

Suggestion

I know this fits in with glass cannon, but the single target thing is really screwed, daggers need inherent 25% armor penetration, and they need a heal that can be maintained, Duration and recharge changes, if a ranger can outdeal an assassin in dmg + have more defensives+ shorter spike recharges(yes ranger have spikes, Glass arrow, conjure , dual shot, can hit 180dmg in 1 sec) while most combos have to be 4-5 slots to hit 200-300, ranger spike can be used constantly with PB shot and Zojuns shot, The sinspike dagger combo is good, but it needs more options, perhaps, shortening recharge of off hands, there is only 2 with >5 sec recharges, and in pve with a team, if thats your only offhand, you are out for a few seconds, were sins designed to be PvP Classes?
