User:The Gates Assassin/Assassin

Profession Specifics
Assassins are the masters of stealth and the shadows. They wait for their target to be in a weak and open spot and quickly strike. They are very much built like the assassins in Guild Wars, with some differences. For one, they have both Teleport and Shadow Step skill, not just shadow steps. Shadow steps allow you to skip straight to the target, but they are restricted to obstacles. If the foe you want to kill is behind a wall, and there is a way around the wall (In GW you could go straight to him), you would hit the wall. With a teleport, you can go straight to the target. Teleport on the other hand allows you to freely move to whatever the skill describes you can move to, however, since you are going through objects, all teleport skills disable all skills for 10 seconds. This makes Teleports more for Mobility rather than spiking.

They have very low base damage, just like in Guild Wars. Bonus damage works the same as it does in Guild Wars as well.

They now have another weapon: The Shuriken, allowing them to attack from a further away distance (Just like warriors have more than one weapon attribute). They only work at half range, and tend to be more focused on conditions and quick attacks. The downside is the low damage they do, even lower than daggers do(5-15).

Instead of focusing the primary attribute on critical hits, they have a new attribute: Stealth. No, you're not going to turn invisible, however for each point in Stealth you move 1% faster (Up to 16% faster always). This makes them even more deadly and harder to escape.

Stealth
Stealth is really just an attribute used for mobility around the map. All of the teleport skills are found here, notice that all teleport skills disable all of your skills for 10 seconds. Shadow step skills do not, however they do not skip you around obsticles, not even in a guild wars way which allows you to skip if there is a path you can take. It must be a straight shot to them. There is one jump skill in here. Jumping, which is further explained in the Furies article, allows you to litterally jump to the target at very high speeds. Unlike shadow steps, you can see this coming. All of other rules that shadow steps have apply to jumps.
