I'm definitely not a noob to the game, and extremely experienced with MMO's in general. So I would say I can definitely handle that aspect. lol. Assassin just confounds me. I have the most ridiculously difficult time finding a comfortable niche to settle into. I have no difficulty with any other class (other than my sentinel but from what I told at low levels that's normal) haha

Okay. So I'm going to switch to full deception. I was just looking at the individual skill trees and can see where you're coming from. As far as how to play assassins properly. My entire strategy thus far is stealth, paralyze, maul, maul, zap run. hahaha. I never really die in warzones and I always stack up around five or six medals and average about 25-30 kills but I feel like I could do better than that. Any advice on that end?

So I'm looking for a collection of useful tips on playing a Sith Assassin. I am currently level 25 and I feel like I'm not performing as well as I could be. current Dps is about (major estimate here) 185-225. Armor rating is above 4000 willpower is about 236. primarily madness with a little deception. I'm not sure weather or not it's the way I have him set up or the way I'm playing. I'm really into PvP, though I do enjoy questing. If I could get some help with How to play the Assassin properly as well as How to set them up properly it would be greatly appreciated.

I personally enjoy the Assassin. waiting out of view in the outskirts of battle where people think they can run to heal or sneak in then paralyze and maul them to death. kill them before they can even move. Then go stealth again. At level 20 I was leaving matches with 35+ kills. on average around 25-30. Death is a rarity if you learn how to play them well.
