This is my Assassin AA tree as it stands now. I am still trying things out but this one seems to fit me rather well.

The one before was 4 out of Paralyzing Strike, and 4 into Cut throat, 5 in Oozing Wound, 3 in Malignant Mark. Take 3 out of Scraping and Flowing and make 5 into Exacting.

I could I should say that I'm looking for the ideal/max DPS spec for an Assassin Raider.

Repeated stabbing and frontload. Extra points into exacting, and whatever is left throw into cloaked assault.

Alirght - I may try that tonight - thx.

I'm concerned w/ losing the AA damage increases to the few bleeding lines I still have /w points in it (after Getaway and Frontload lines are filled) - but hopefully they woudl be offset by whatever Repeated Stabbings is gonna do for me.

If you're concerned about losing EB you can get back excessive bleeding with ROK. I think most of us are planning to do that. After getting the KOS stamina line, of course.

I have to say, seeing as how you're currently in getaway & bleeding you obviously haven't tested very much. So long as you can mash buttons quickly -- meaning no lag -- frontload & RS pwn other lines in the face. Be sure to keep exacting though. That's a nice upgrade.

Yeah, if your looking for max DPS. Getaway wont do that for you. The buffs are nice, especially Exacting. If you use Exacting to its max potential you'll see a boost in DPS. Repeated Stabbing will give you a boost to DPS just from being able to spam CA's faster.

Excessive Bleeding and Frontload are pretty even with Frontload eventually being better with the more Proc Gear you have.

TheUndertow

I'm in Getaway and Frontload.

I tried Repeated Stabbings last night and was missing the extra invis (without noticing much utility - plus don't you want to be allowing for auto attack instead of just spamming CAs?)...I'll play around some more in RoK i guess.

autoattack will still hit so its a non-issue

I dunno, I really like frontload. I'm less bored with it. More clickies = more fun.

It won't matter in a few weeks when we all have both.

Should be interesting to see if they add AAs to give us tough choices to make. I haven't played w/ beta since I can't see spending time leveling up characters or getting cool stuff that I can't use on the main server.

If not, then they'll be some easy (ier) choices to make.
