This might have been posted before, but i think the deadly arts attribute line sucks. I have only seen impale builds among some other builds. Practically half of the skills aren't used at all.

Seeing as the assassin has really low armor, they need SOMETHING to actually do while their skills recharge and theyre healing themselves, etc. You could have long range weapons like shuriken or something, but with maybe a deadly arts requirement. They could have a faster attack speed than a wand, but deal less damage. Or maybe there could be a deadly arts move that actually affects foes from far away. Of course, you cant do dagger combos from far away.

Maybe you could have poison preparations on your throwing stars, or something. That would be cool.

Comments appreciated!

But sins are already very strong. Doesn't that take their ability to heal well?

Well, a long range weapon would completely change the idea of the assassin. There supposed to run in deal damage, and run out, then repeat. If yuo play assassins right they are very powerful.
