Description:
Assassins are masters of deception, using subtle tricks to weaken their enemies and support their allies. Assassins deal massive amounts of damage, making them an immense threat to anyone foolish enough to stand in their way. They are able to perform quick and deadly strikes from the shadows or confuse their enemies with tricks and technical aids and then disappear back into the shadows. They can also use these tools to support their allies in battle. Assassins can specialize into deadly Shadowstalkers, draining Poisonblades, or cunning Saboteurs.
DPS
Class Mechanics:
Corrosive Poison
A damage over time Effect that can be applied by primary, active and combo abilities which deals 120 damage per second, lasts for 8 seconds and can stack up to 5 times.
Specialization Perks:
Hint
Specialization perks have a stronger influence on the playstyle of a class build compared to normal perks. They are lightweight replacements for more complex structures like skill trees and are a deliberate game design decision to help balance the PvP modes while still giving the player enough choice to create different character builds. Build options in PvE may differ a lot from this approach in the final game. The current descriptions are work in progress and will be extended and changed in the future as the design of the classes is still being fine tuned.
