[4.2.1] Blood Assassin
------------------------
Blood Assassins are a combination of rangers and the nastier side of combat
mages. Assassins have special curse (debuff) weapon enchant spells called
"marks". When active, all targets hit by the Assassin are marked. The
Assassin does additional damage to those targets and can do huge amounts of
damage to all marked targets at once using the Execute power.
The big problem with Assassins is you have to let them shoot at will. If you
focus on one enemy, which is really the best way to defeat most mobs, marks
don't do as much good. To get the most out of an Assassin requires
controlling the Assassin and spreading the Marks around, while letting the
rest of your party do what they want. You then Execute to destroy swarms of
monsters all at once.
Another problem with Assassins, shared with Fists of Stone, is they will be
weaker at both ranged and combat magic than a dedicated ranger or mage of the
same character level. This affects the amount of damage they can do, the
equipment they can wear. Etc. They will also have their skill points spread
out over two or three trees (ranger, blood assassin and combat mage).
Since combat mage is the secondary class, Assassins are not a good
replacement for a combat mage. They can be a good replacement for a pure
archer, as their skills and weapon enchant spells overcome the few levels
they lag behind. With a little bit of extra firepower behind their ranged
attacks, they can be a good archer, but that's all, so there's not much
reason to choose an Assassin over a pure Ranger.
SHRED BLOOD: "Reckless disregard for life can have benefits, however sinister.
An Assassin's ranged attacks, through malicious intent and practice, can make
their victims hemorrhage blood."
* Requires Ranged 8, Combat Magic 6
