Swear to god, most of you people just argue to argue. I was never trying to explain the entire rotation for each spec. I used one broad example for each spec to highlight how complex the class is. My post was not a "Comprehensive Guide to teh Assassin"

Assassins are great. You will notice in the tanking tree there is an ability in the high 30's that grants a flat 20% increase in armor. If you try to tank before that, you will suck. Do not attempt to level as a tank. Deception is all about using Maul. Like literally, Maul, Maul, Maul. If you do not use a tanking companion, you will suck. Madness is all about using shock. If shock is off cooldown, DO NOT THRASH. Save the force for shock. I use a healing companion when I spec this way because you also DO NOT USE MAUL. The reason many people THINK the Assassin sucks is because it is one of the most complicated classes in the game, and if you do not realize how to use their abilities in relation to your companions/spec, they will be highly ineffectual. In this case, don't hate the game, hate the player.

I am leveling through PvP and I am only level 14. Do warzones end early? Yes. Am I getting the same amount of XP as I would if it did not end early. No way. At my level, a full match gives between 5-8k XP. One that ends early only gives around 400-800. This issue may be server or faction specific. Additionally, I do not see how this is the players fault, especially if all they are doing is playing warzones.
