Also see Assassin (Diablo II)
Assassins are cold-blooded killers, they use both magic and melee weapons. They have the ability to identify magical items. Assassins don't care about how they kill, they simply love the act of killing. Their magical abilities are second to Mages', they use shields pretty well, they can (and usually do!) wield two weapons at once, but definetely benefit more from using swords and sword-like weapons. They tend to use those of weapons that require more dexterity than those that require brute force. They strike quickly and powerfully when wielding two swords and it makes them a very dangerous opponent for monsters. Besides, they tend to concentrate on thweek spots of their enemy's defense and cause tremendous critical damage, sometimes instantly killing the enemy. But they have even less stamina than Monks and rely on their armor and agility more than on their ability to endure damage. They defense potential is decent and approcahes that of Gladiators', but Assassins tend to use armor type that requires more dexterity than strength. Often, they weaken their enemy from distance and finish him off in melee, receiving pleasure from the act of killing.
