Assassin is perhaps the only class that can meaningfully use the Force Hatchet, which doubles your power but empties your stamina the moment you get hit. The Assassin not only has powerful defensive tools, but can simply build up power in the Force Hatchet and then switch to ranged sniping. With all your arrows dealing double damage, you become the best archer in the game.

Wish weapon switching was less of a pain, would be so much fun going solo assassin if I could use whatever weapon set I want at the press of a button

i remember being invincible when solo venture and during night time as assassin. Enjoyed every bit of it. Always traveling at night.

Another banger by Thief of Crystals. Can't wait to see Grungo return in the Brawler guide.

Snakebite is pretty nice for what it is because it knocks down small enemies almost guaranteed, letting you combo an enemy to death and while you are in the snakebite you can’t be hit, but to each their own. One of my fave assassin skills.

You know, this vocation was the first I used. It was my favorite too by far. Killed a griffon in early game with it.

Just gotta say man this was one of the most entertaining and helpful build videos ive seen in a long time! Hope to see more when DD2 comes out

I'd say the worst thing about assassin is the augments, all of them are situational, some more than others, however, it's easily fixed by... Just getting other augments from different classes.

The most underrated channel on this website

FINALLY I found the time to enjoy this masterpiece and I already know that it will be good 🙏

I can't believe this was posted 10 hours ago haha. Literally perfect. I just started this game today after it'd been on my list for months. I just beat dark souls 1 a few times and am moving on to this game! Your guide stood out among all the other crap guides I watched! Dropping a like and subscribe! Looking forward to the next video!

Loved the vid! Makes me wanna go for a solo assassin run.

Masterwork of a video! Your scripts get better and better every video 🙏🙏🙏

Haha nailed it dude, one of my favorite vocations hands down.

Assassin when = now 😈 Great video Theify! Really appreciate the series youve made, and the humour and personallity youve imbedded into us all ❤️

Been waiting so long for this ❤

lmfao you put in a clip from What we do in the shadows, love that show

Honestly shocked that you have less than 10k subs. You’re gonna go far, kid

my boy you did it again great video bro. im happy to see my other boy Dante that was great XD

Thief of Crystals is like the Assassin class, he drops whenever no one least expects it. Congrats on hitting all 9 classes, bud! Monk class mod review when?

This channel is super underrated and these videos are absolutely fucking hilarious and informative, I hope he makes some for Dragons Dogma 2!

I've been waiting for this. Started playing a couple weeks ago, loved all the other videos. But imagine my disappointment when the one vocation I decided to play most was the one video I had to wait for. Distraught. Thanks

finally i can learn how to play this class beyond double jumping

The dedication of the man is absurd

Dire Gouge: "Yo you want some of that D O P A M I N E ?"

If you're running with a sorcerer pawn that has voidspell or high voidspell they can remove the defense decrease from showdown. Not sure if that changes it much for you but I liked running it once I learned that.

Super cool class tbh wish we could have all advanced vocations for pawns

It looks like Fighter and Thief (Formerly Strider) in DD2 now have abilities from Assassin to make up for the fact that Assassin isn't an available Vocation any more which I think is a good thing cause Assassin had a bit of an identity crisis

I'm going through all the vocations to find my favorite and just got done with assassin the day before this video came out. Definitely my favorite vocation so far, using gale harness, cutting wind, and instant reset is so much fun, and not to mention getting off those successful parries with the sword and dagger is just 🤌. Your channel is amazing and whenever I'm playing and I see radiance I'm reminded of your "GOIS I CAN'T SEE WITHOUT MY LYANTERN" joke and start laughing. Hope you keep it up man and I'm excited for the brawler video :)

dude i love how you deliver thouse gems

I love the Assassin class so much it was my first class I switched to. I’m so sad they didn’t go in to developing the other classes as much as the assassins.I’m thinking of making a poisoner build.

Assassin to me is the Jack of all trades, master of none.

Great video 👍… was curious what armor and sword your using ???

I just picked this game up the other day because it was on sale for 5 bucks on steam because I heard it was pretty decent, but boy it's actually so fun lol. I started out as strider and really liked it but wasn't the biggest fan of the dagger skills, then I ended up swapping to warrior for a bit but found it to be a bit too slow and not having range kinda felt bad so I figured why don't I try the hybrid assassin? oh man its so much fun, easily my favorite vocation now since I can take the 1 handed sword and a bow, its great.

Pathfinder wrath of the righteos music? this is a man of culture.

Yay new video about DD ....best content ever !!!

Great episode! Now time to fall into a coma for 2 months ;)

Aaay there it is. And what a twist, there is another.

Last I check masterful kill can be activated early and as long as you don't move, it will trigger on the next melee hit.

great video 🔥

Cool, now I'm totally clueless. I hope this game is nearly as fun and entertaining as your videos have made it appear to be.

I am doing a solo assassin build and autonomy doesnt lack anything at 20 %. Still a handsome boost, and as expected as a lone arisen i have already outleveled a regular full party run at the same part of the game, thanks to the 75% xp boost. So more levels, more stats, that get a 20% extra attack, and before even grinding as a warrior for Clout.

comon Theivy going hard on the spellcaster mains? i'm joking Another great video, can't wait to see you breaking the limit in the next class guide

Do you know how long ive used invisibility to sneak or durin them follow missions? Just to now finally learn its true purpose. I started playin this game on the damn ps3. I never woulda known.

Any of the sword skills I xan grab from this class for my MK?

Personally i like to run assasin with gale harness (daggers) and showdown (shield) to get that super powered feel combined with thousand kisses (using a daggerists band) to get fast insane damage

Hello, I have a question about my equipment, I changed to Assassin at level 15 and now I am level 26 but I feel that my equipment is a little bad for my level I use sword and bow, my statistics are: 328 strength and 134 magic in primary weapon and secondary weapon are 231 strength and 134 magic, buy these weapons in the capital of Gran Soren in the armory, the names of the weapons are Broadsword (level 3 stars) and Wild Bow (level 1 star) . my armor: 297 defense and 259 magic defense, I try to balance it (sorry if I have spelling mistakes and if I write some words wrong since I am using the translator) any advice will help

I'm new to the game and I wanna know what the monster on Dark Arisens cover is where is it?

What augments do you use for assassin

When I was playing as the assassin I was running around with daggers a sword and shield and a bow cause it had many very useful skills for all occasions

Ok, so my only question is HOW do I go about building this character?? Because I see that there are guides out there that show me the endgame, but never how to build the character through the game. Also, this was damn good, and hilarious at times. And the Mando theme at the end was a dope touch 😂💪🏿you gained a subscriber good sir 🤞🏿😌

thank you

I wish DD2 gets a hotkey or something for hybrid vocations like assassins, magic knight, magic archer; who have access to 3-4 different types of weapons, to switch between each weapons on the fly..

Started as Strider. Debating if i want to try assassin or magical archer next

What's the Best Equipment (Armor Pieces or Sets, and best Weapon Choices) to Use for Assassin? Also, for a NG+, which Assassin Skills are Good to survive throughout the whole game without switching out for others?

I main as Assassin but like to mix it up sometimes with Magick Archer, but I'm torn on two builds for my next playthrough: Health - 4130 / 4030 Stamina - 3110 / 3210 Strength - 503 Magick - 500 Defence - 400 / 420 Magick Def. - 446 / 426 Basically, do we reckon swap the -100 Health for +100 Stamina and -20 Defence for +20 Magicka Defence?

I assumed this was an old series. Was just about to try the game again since I tried it a long time ago and didn’t like it. Like this video and plan to try the assassin. But thinking this video was old, seeing that brawler teaser and the date on this video caught me off guard and was exciting to see. Great vid by the way 👍

been waiting

Woohoo its here

Also, if you can after this series, which is fantastic, cover the mmo version? I've never played it but, know there's like 20 other classes in it

Is it possible to activate Gale Harness and then switch to sword while keeping the buff? That would be powerful!!

Brawler? Hol up BRAWLER?!?!?!? LETS GOOOOOOO

I'm finally going to start this game and I want to do this dagger Specialization! Do you have any recommendations on which class of the 3 to start with, and how to progress thereafter? Character creation suggestions are also welcome! thx xD

You really used the Azata theme from WotR, a mythic path that is all about FRIENDSHIP, in a video for a class that is usually played SOLO.

Invisibility should have been named something like Spector for the edge and to, you know, not make you assume you can go invisible.

“Snakebite is eh..” Me: stun locking every humanoid enemy to death

How and where do you unlock these skills? I just started playing and only see like 2 in asalams inventory

Which vocations do you recommend to level to build an assassin?

Hey Thief, do you have a list of favorite mods for the game?

Your voice and the way you’re talking remind me of a character from the bard’s tale. The funny ass shop keep that made me want to buy all his shit.

This better be in dd2 asap

Assassins where strider and fighter have baby and the baby inherited both of the parents talent for unaliving people best vocation no cap.

Is that pathfinder wotr music I hear? If so, incredibly based.

I think the only reason why I myself am not a big fan of Assassin is its early game presentation. Like... all Advanced classes gain a new awesome weapon, Warrior gets greatswords, Ranger gets longbows and Sorcerer gets the Archstaff (which is boring as hell but he makes up for that with cool new spells). Then the Hybrid classes come, with Magick Archer gaining the most unique weapon of all as that "magebow" (forgot the name), the Mystic Knight having a glorious greatshield (and a mace, but I don't care about the mace) while the Assassin... gets all the weapons from Fighter and Strider but nothing unique... yeah. To be fair, the game does let you know really quickly that this is a different class by making one of your first sword skills be a completely different one (the Intimate Strike, something like that), but playing this class the first time I just felt like I was playing a "Jack of All Trades, Master of None" and switched off really quickly. Only came back now because I've seen footage of how fun this seems at max rank (and also I wanna min-max damage and magick in this run, so it's 90 levels as an Assassin and 100 levels in Sorcerer).

I love your videos

I like this class alot, but before I opened for myself mystic knight

Dude, we KNOW that your big money stems from jewel heists, and no: Your chosen nickname did not give us the slightest hint! 🤣

Let’s fucking goooo

finally !!!

Best the best

Invisibility is useless. It was godlike back in vanilla when it didn’t consume your stamina and didn’t have a time limit. Yes, back then you could stay permanently invincible. Sadly, with the release of Dark Arisen, it was nerfed, along with Autonomy and Bloodlust.

>Magic is for Nerds Melee bois after getting backhanded by a Goblin.

What's the name of the song at 1:19

uhm broseph? you forgot to mention like half of the bow skills which was what i was looking forward the most

I am really, really surprised that you didn’t go over the abomination of using the shield 🛡️ with daggers ⚔️ lmao

There are some enemies you can't defeat if they require magic damage to be dealt damage.

Ah, the golden days of endgame vanilla in ye olden 7th gen of consoles. It's sad 'cause back then there wasn't even anything strong enough to warrant the kind of violence that the unholy union of Autonomy + Bloodlust was dishing out and now that we do have strong enemies in BBI we will never truly know just how bad Daimon would get disrespected on a daily basis. Tbh Ranger's still out here being a complete menace to the entire concept of anything at all ever being alive while suffering from a heavy addiction to Blast Arrows but it just. ain't. the same. But then again we wouldn't have force hatchet shenanigans nor MA actualy being top tier if it weren't for DA so it evens out i guess. still gonna miss it tho.

Holy F its out!

16:47 what's the song called

Virgin Burst Strike Chad Blitz Strike

I love seeing creators use obvious stock photos for jokes, not much puts a smile on my face faster then the over exaggerated expression that those photos usually have.

So Assassin is like a quality build from a Souls game. Im torn between Mystic Knight or Assassin, I Love the paladin style from the MK but seems it would probs get boring after a while with all the buffing, Whereas Assassin is the most versatile and i love using bows.

What's skill do you Use Sir.

LOL EPIC🎉

Thinking lvl 1 to 10 fighger 11 to 30 warrior Then maybe rest assassin

Dire Gouge is just better Hundred Kisses. A Cursed Light build properly done can speedrun cursed dragons. It's not Magick Archer Immolation good, but it's close.

Song at 6:40?

Is assassin a better fighter than fighter?

This is a late and unnecessary comment.... but the title of the video chapter for Dire Gouge is "Diet Gourd" which is hilarious.

I have vanilla on Xbox360 and yes ... autonomy/bloodlust BREAKS THE FUCKING GAME!
