I just made an Assassin and I haven't decided on a spec/build yet. I'm totally new to The Old Republic so I'm not sure what works well for which play style. I used to tank a little in WoW on a warrior and occasionally a bear, but I don't know how the Assassin style compares to those. I'm also interested in just doing regular DPS to level, but I'm not sure which tree to spec into. I've heard some bad things about Deception, but it looks interesting. I don't really know anything about Madness, so I can't make a judgement. Could I get some suggestions on what spec to go with for leveling? I'll worry about endgame stuff once I've gotten to 50. Thanks in advance!
Also: If anyone is interested in leveling with me, I'm on the Telos Restoration Project.
