Thanks, at least I know where to set my expectations. I enjoy playing the class and as mentioned previously, over time I should get better.

Thanks for the reply. There's some really good information here and I think, given time, it will help. Admittedly I do tend to find myself rushing in and I think this is the main issue.

Hi, I've been playing Assassin for quite a while and at the weekend was a bit tired of playing a Darkness build. So I decided to respec over to a Madness build. I play both PvP and PvE, and I have noticed a huge difference in damage output but I have a few questions. Firstly, when PvPing, it seems that I am the person that all the opposition go for first. I don't honestly mind being targeted and killed as I guess I am seen as a threat. Is this a fair assumption? Secondly, I notice that when target by a single kiter or multiple melee types I go down fairly quickly. Again, I am assuming that this is fairly normal, but getting used to my skills over time will definately help. Is this a fair assumption? Thirdly, for PvP I've been collecting the Battlemaster Force-Master armor and have 5 pieces currently. Looking at the sets that were available to purchase this seemed to make the most sense, should I have picked something different? I'd appreciate any contructive feedback. Other than I am enjoying the build but it does come across as being a lot harder to play.
