Best Secondary for Assassin - Quickie!
Neriandal Freit
Just a quickie, but what is the best secondary profession for Assassins?
Yanman.be
Depends on what you want to do?
Neriandal Freit
It's for a friend. I dont play melee players, so I just need a rough idea on the top secondarys.
Yanman.be
Yes, but what is your goal? pve? pvp? solo? farming? gank? gvg? ha? interrupt? spike? pressure?
Wacky
Most popular for PVE are /W, /Me, /E, /Mo. Doesn't mean they're necessarily good, just that they are popular.
Neriandal Freit
Excellent, just what I was seeking.

How about D for some added heal and defense?

Dervish healing and defense is mostly in Mysticism, no?

No :P
Actually there are healing skills in wind, earth and mysticism.
The skills vital boon and sig of pious light are vastly superior to shadow refuge imo.
A perfect example is:
AoD
Aura of Thorns( decent snare when used with aod)
Leaping Mantis Sting
Jungle Strike
Twisting Fangs
Conviction
Vital Boon
Sig of Pious Light
16 dagger mastery and whatever you want to put into earth and critical strikes...you could take out conviction or aura of thorns for a res sig. But really, Shadow Prison+Black Spider Strike+Twisting fangs is better damage however and could be changed.

Does A/E Conjure Flame work well?
I haven't seen any builds with it.

If you use conjure spells, you would want to attack as much as possible ( with locusts's fury etc. )
That's not how the Assassin should work. They should do a maximum of damage in a minimum of time. Spikes. Conjure is more pressure.

can u pick dervish for a assassin primary? might haveto pick something else till u get to elona?
Lord Nibiru
Well,there is Profession changer in place called Great Temple of Balthazar 
For just 500 gold he will change you secondary profession.
And what is best sec prof assassin is hard to tell,for me it is Dervish, in pvp it rocks for me because some great Earth prayers skills and spells.
I saw A/N pve build with Soul Feast spell for healing and Plague Touch
A/Mo assassins have vigorus spirit and healing breeze for healing and that is a little problem if they try to tank
A/E are not for pve,but great for pvp. They use Shock to knockdown enemy and then faster get to combo Failling Spider-Twisting fangs
A/W hm...never tried it,i saw different builds for this combination,but main thing is Watch yourself,Wild Blow and I saw they use Critical Defense and Critical eye.....well use of this build is to constantly have Critical Defense
ok for PvP,for PvE i don't know,i think it can work
A/R critical barrager....spam critical eye and barrage is main though with this build,i heard it works very good in PvE,but Barrage is ELITE so this build is not for begging
A/P never saw...
A/Me this assassins use Illusion Magic,i would say Illusion of Weakness,Fragility......some assassins use Elite skill Illusion Weaponry,it works good in pvp
A/Rt I dont know,i think some spells to make their damage stronger....not for pve

A/Rt = Best healing spell: 10 restoration = Mend Body and Soul 5e-3/4 cast time-3s recharge time, and more...

Real assassins need no healing, pure offense ftw!
(unless it's pve)

Well lol im trying out a A/P build atm... When i get a few more Paragon skills ill post a good build of it

the best defense is your brain imo
I use a pure damage build (with a single self heal, shadow refuge) because the only reason people would want an assassin in their group is to add to the groups damage. I'm telling you, assassins have more than enough armor to survive if they are played correctly. I got to legendary survivor using this damage build, so defense is not needed.
So imo the secondary doesn't matter, because I don't use skills from them in PvE anyway.
However, I guess A/N for plague touch would be hot since I am in love with this skill (along with the warrior skill Watch Yourself!)

new sin-owner here, also in love with Wy!. much needed cushion while getting a feel for playing a 'sin, definitely recommend /w for it as starting secondary :E

A/W to me is as counter productive as R/W or W/R, the classes don't mesh well at all.
I HIGHLY recommend NOT using WY for 3 reasons...
1. You're not a tank.
2. Warrior's protect, NOT YOU...
3. You're not a tank who can stand there and swing 4 times to get the adrenaline for it...
Your biggest chain is 4 but your most sensible chain of attacks is 3. If your setup is proper, you can do about 80% damage to a single foe if that foe is unable to be covered.... [Falling Spider, Twisting Fangs, Impale = dead foe guaranteed if left alone]
If you can't spike the foe [high armor], then degen the fark out of them...
edit: and yes, I LOVE Plague Touch as well and for a sin, it's the most efficient use of a 2ndary in my opinion... No stats for necro skills? why not?!

i think that the best build would be assasin/necro or assasin and one of the new classes that is coming out.
Pick Me
A/Mo or A/Rit.
Mend Ailment/Resilent Was Xiko
Blindness kills.
Conditions hurt. Hexes are a pain.
Long enchantments, hard rez, avoids a touching game with another necro.

jesh
A/W just got a little more bad with the changes to Watch Yourself, though I'm sure it was mostly to nerf the paragon.
IMO Remedy Signet > monk condition removals, unless you're using Empathic Removal. But that's elite. Mending touch is ok, but I still like free skills more.

Paragons aren't tanks, either. Although I agree in not using WY.
