What is the Assassin's "Skull Splitter"?

[Sinkitsune]

I'm torn from staying as Strider or changing to Assassin, both are max rank but Skull Splitter is just so damn powerful. Does the Assassin have any deadily skills i'm missing?

Easy Kill and Masterful Kills.

No, assassin does not have that skill. Also, the higher you jump, the more damage you do. That's why strider is so superior to assassin in dagger skills. (Oh, actually, strider has better bow skills, too.)
Masterful kill is just lame. Usually my assassin setup is hundred kisses, instant reset and gale harness.

Masterful kill. Tempest harness is more useful than anything strider has anyway.

Assassin doesn't get them, instead they get the ability to wear heavier armor and switch between dagger/bow and sword/shield without having to change profession.

No better than gale harness. The casting time is a bit longer. Strider got eminence, which is a huge damage boost.

Assassin does get snakebite which does a lot of damage and pins small to medium size enemies in place. In my opinion, the Assassin has better sword skills for damage. Dire Gouge and Clairvoyance do a ton of damage. Add in Opportunism Augment with Dire Gouge for max damage.

Snakebyte. Instant kill small enemies, almost kill medium enemies, PLUS poison....
