Thinking about leveling up an Assassin

[Capwill]

Hello All,

I was thinking about starting to level up a Sith Assassin and wanted to check with everyone to see if that class is a really fun one now that the new Patch 3.0 has come out and if so which spec would be best for quick leveling and which Companion would be best to use with that class. I would be most grateful for any help you guys can give me.

Ok, i'll share with my own opinion about this class.

So far, i lvl'ed 4 toons to 55: mara/commando/pt and assassin. Sin just so much more fun for me, that i dont even play the rest of my toons anymore.

Here some pros/cons. from my perspective in pvp ( i dont really play pve much )

Pros:

1. Stealth.

2. 3 really different specs.

3. High burst in deception spec.

4. Really high DOT dmg in hatred spec. ( i am doing about 1mil dmg in wz's)

5. Great survivability and defensive CD's.

6. One of the best tank specs.

7. Great objective control in wz's.

8. Self sustain with DOT heal.

 

Cons:

1. Somewhat squishy.

2. Light armor.

3. You are high priority in wz's.

4. Hard to master.

5. Rotations difficulty 10/10

6. MELEE

7. Not best resource management.

 

I could miss something, but trust me - assassin is really fun to play and this class is really strong right now.

 

Sorry for my english

good thing I have put all my play time on my assassin.

 

I am heading to wards level 40.

 

I can only play the weekend so I could not make full use of X12 xp time.

 

But good to know that assassin have some quality.
