Assassin questions. A LOT of them.

if u can get a hold of a maple claw(kandayo/skanda) or a bracer and use it to whatever lvl u do not need to put pts into booster.
typical build
10-30
max keen eyes
10 nimble
20 darksight
20 l7( duh

30-70
with a faster claw( again no need for booster, ur faster claw is already at the same atk speed u get with booster)

few pts into mastery(5)
max critical throw
max haste
if u switch to a fast speed claw, get booster, if not u can get drain
then booster
finish with mastery
(skill maxed or close should be)
drain
mastery
booster(15 or higher)
haste
critical throw

once ur 70. the fun begins

if ur funded and have a bishop friend. go to himes and put a point or so into flashjump
then max avenger so u can hit 6 himes and leech

if ur not

max shadow partner
flash jump
avenger
alchemist
meso up

then u can max nimble or darksight, whichever u forgot
finish with
either shadow web or shadow meso( i prefer meso, some prefer web)

ill list the pros/cons of both

shadow meso
+ the dmg is very random, u can blow up people that invade ur pianus.
+ incase u run out of stars for whatever reason, u can still kill a boss
+its very shiny,
+ it can kb bosses even though its quite rare

- its expensive
- its dmg is quite random
- even weak ass hermits now a days can outdmg shadow meso


shadow web:
+ u can solo tengu with it by holding back himes
+ it can help at grims
+ u can use it for jr newties

- the 20 sp doesnt make much difference from lvl 1 sp to 20
- shadow web is slow
- its not 100% when maxed
- nl train at jr newties? f6.
