Assassin History
The Assassins are an ancient order originally founded by the Vizjerei to hunt down and eliminate rogue mages within their own ranks.
Diablo II Heroes: Assassin Analysis
Employing secret disciplines to combat and resist the
magical abilities of their elusive quarry, the Assassin's bag of
tricks includes traps and other infernal devices, martial arts,

the magic arts.

Assassin Stats Development
Attribute Point Effect
1 Vitality point gives 3 Life
1 Vitality point gives 1.5 Stamina
1 Energy point gives 1.5 Mana
It is natural to pump up your Energy levels with each
level. Each point in Energy translates to 2 points in Mana
and Mana is your most important Stats. At level 30 you should expect
to have an Energy level of 150+ (i.e. 23+ levels worth of
character points). The other stats you might to pump up are Strength
and Vitality.
A Strength of 41 is your target if you want
to yield a light plate armor (base defense of 103). Vitality should take the rest of the points.
Dexterity should be overlooked since it contributes
to Attack rating (which you don't need at all) and Defense rating
which is better served by a good armor and the armor spells you
have.
Assassin Skills Development
You should pick offensive spells in only one of the
three areas otherwise you'll be spreading your skill points way
too thin. There are a few skills that you absolutely MUST have regardless
of your specialization.
