Melee burst / opportunist
Range family: Melee.
Core appeal: Precision openings, target selection and short pressure windows.
Trade-off
What will challenge you?
Punished by badly timed commitments and difficult escape paths.
Builds change with skills, content and patch, so treat any damage chart from another region as a lead to test, not a fact.
Is Assassin right for you?
You prefer choosing when to engage and spotting exposed enemy players.
First-session practice drill
Practice deciding whether to take a fight *before* triggering an opening burst.
Solo PvP, group PvP and PvE
Group fights
State your job before engaging: pressure, peel, protection, healing or control. Adapt to teammate positioning and focus calls.
Dungeons
Understand mechanics and the role expected of you. Prioritize reliable participation and staying alive over a single damage parse.
How to review your build
After every death ask whether your target had backup or your exit was blocked.
Treat mobility and defensive options as part of the build, not afterthoughts.
Gear and Stigma decisions
Before spending limited upgrade materials, inspect current Global skill descriptions and calculate whether the upgrade solves your real bottleneck. This is a playstyle guide, not an invented exact-damage rotation.
