1. the assassin is a new profession coming with GW:F
2. both campaign feature different continents, each with their own missions, quests, challenges, scenery and monsters to defeat
3. The assassin is a melee unit, it is different from the warrior in the fact that his skills are all energy based, and he has 4 pips of regen and a larger energy pool. He however has less base armor. Most of his damage comes from physical melee attacks, usually in skill combo's (one must follow the other for a certain effect). He has the ability to up his chance for critical hits with his profession bound attribute. and last but not least he has various skills that enable him to teleport from one spot to another
atm no real good builds can be said, as we have yet to discover the true potential of this profession, and one preview weekend is not enough for that.
hope that helps. if you wanna know more, use the search function on this forum, it's there for a reason
