I've only hit level 13 so far but I noticed that the Barren Relic armour vendor didn't have a set available for Assassins. Is this true for all Relic vendors or at what point would I expect to see some?

 

The Assassin class looks really interesting and complex, I would love to finally settle down on a class but there's no way it would be an Assassin if I had to go through the tedious process of killing and skinning animals for the medium melee set.

 

Also, I'm finding the Templar ability list and talent tree to be far from my liking and I've only ever seen one person running past me with a shield equipped.

 

I know it's not ideal but how viable is a Warrior tanking and a Sorcerer healing in later levels? I can only assume the Warrior is an off-tank because of his heavy armour, though the Assassin and his dodge % looks like he might be better off. Taking a look at the Warrior talent tree I'm finding it really hard to believe that any class other than a Templar could take aggro off me, and none have so far.

The crafted medium melee armor was only the start there will be more armors coming in future updates for the assassin. As for warrior off tanking id say right now it is viable as they're still doing some balancing and trying to get the dungeon bosses and such where they need to be in terms of difficulty. As far as later lvls go who knows we're only lvl 30 right now. :P

Damn, guess I'll hold off trying to be an Assassin for a while then.

 

Open Beta will probably be launched before I end up level 30, so I guess I'm safe until then as a Warrior haha.

 

Thanks for your answers!

With the current level of difficulty, in most cases having both a templar tank and prophet healer is overkill.  Templar takes such little damage there is just not much to heal.  

 

Templar tank > Prophet casts fireballs and blizzard

Mage, Assassin, Warrior tank > Prophet comfortably heals

Prophet tank > Hope dps'rs purchased serenity
