Assassin Build: Notes from an expert

[Xyyth]

I had taken some notes on my iPad years ago when I had this game for PS3. I have scoured Google to find the original source but could not. So, I'm going to just post my crude notes here. Try them or not but this comes from a player who had made several high level characters and done many playthroughs since the original release. Feel free to add your expert opinions on the build. Enjoy.

I believe before you reach level 10, you want to be in Grand Soren. Other expert players, please correct this if it's wrong. You will have to kill cows or Lich conjured skeletons in order to raise skills without leveling. Exp should stay under 100 per kill. This video shows it the best:

Isn't the build on the wikia the best for assassin?

1-10 Mage
10-100 sorcerer
101-200 assassin

Aren't the best daggers magic based?

Yes, but if you do 90 levels as sorcerer, you are going to cripple yourself. Starting out as a mage if you end up as an assassin is a huge no no. I don't know where you got that info, but it's total crap.

I got it from the wikia

http://dragonsdogma.wikia.com/wiki/Specific_Build_Objective:_Maximizing_Arisen_and_Main_Pawn_Stats

Is like the only way to have high attack, magic attack, and magic defense.

[FinalBoss]

pure physical assassins are the only version that can hit the 9,999,999 damage cap on online ur.

those are the strongest (the best dagger now is pure physical also).

But otherwise, mixing it is fine too, the class is powerful regardless.

[Xyyth]

Everything I had read said that if you are going to mainly play a melee class, you never start out as a mage from levels 1-10. (shrug)

Best end game daggers:

You don't have to play 100 levels of sorcerer in order to use them. Maybe 25-44 at most.

hey guys so my assassin is level 24, should i switch to fighter to get the augs now or would it ruin my character?

[age]

i have a similar question to yours poop. basically i was strider till low 20's then switched to assassin for maybe like 8 levels so far. first time playing the game so not sure if i am digging myself into a hole or not. i guess the plan at this point is to stay assassin forever.

[HaoleDonburi]

Level 10-100 as an Assassin. I believe it has the best strength growth. After that it's kinda whatevs.
