Where did you get this? Assassin has only 30% DR for 6 sec from MMC. Guys please don't post unchecked information because some of bioware employees can read you whining and decide to nerf classes who don't need it at all

Hatred and Deception look very interesting and balanced. But the Darkness lacks of real choice. If you ask old players about the most memorable skill of the Assassin, many will call the Phase Walk in tank spec with the healing bonus. It was very helpful and had one of the most beautiful animations in the game. I like ABC slot of sniper at level 70, where I have to choose between AOE, defense and mobility. It was interesting to see something similar in Darkness, where you would have to choose between Overload, Phase Walk and Force Shroud (or Phantom Stride instead of it for another kind of mobility). Not every battle requires all 3 skills at the same time, but many battles will become more varied with the opportunity to choose one of these
