I was wondering if there was any way to play the Assassin class with a more ranged oriented build. It would be amazing to play the Assasin utilizing some of his mid ranged weapon choices. Has anyone tried this? Is it viable? Or should I just spec fully into melee/focus?
Any Way To Play Ranged Assassin?

Tested this in beta (so not recently ata all) and back then you were spread to thin in both talent points (ranger and sin tree) and in attribute points melee/ranged (and possibly even focus).
Feel free to give it a go though

There was a player named sahlee who did a more in-depth ranger-assassin build than the usual 3 points for the att pwr or 7 pts for the haste buff. I don't know the particulars but from what I observed he put enough points in the sin tree to have soulfire, eclipse, lc dmg boost, shock trauma, etc. After using his aoes (lc, shock trauma, storm, soulfire, repeat) I think he switched to single target bleeds. No clue what his attribute point distribution was, and I'm probably missing a ton of details on his build and attacks, but sahlee was good dps.

So many people want to do it but reset because they don't have enough talent points to make it work.
You're also at a disadvantage since you can't pure attributes and this game requires you to pure them, pretty much.
