Assassin Build vs Harbinger vs dream/rogue

[Adam Jensen 007]

Could someone please share me what skills to get in rogue and dream
I know warfare
So Harbinger is better than asaassin?
Thanks

in brief:

Harbinger => CC + debuffs (=> more damage)
Assassin => moar dmg.

Assassin has better max damage, Harbinger has more AoE damage and is a tad better on the defensive side.

Skills must wait for now...

Wow developer thank you so much! Harbinger for Crowd Control.
What do you recommend yourself? Assassin is more pure damage? I know there may be secrets to explore but would love your thoughts?
Thank you!

I'm not a developer, just a moderator here for the game.

As for what I'd recommend, difficult since I don't seem to play melee characters very well. I think for me though Assassin over Harbinger. Rogue has Lay Traps which I find more fun than Dream's Distortion Wave skill. Dream does have those nice Trances to choose from though. You could always forget Warfare and go Rogue/Dream instead for a Dreamkiller.

Debuff = negative status ailment

Assassin makes for a good dual wielder with traps and poison. Battle Standard gives traps quite a nice buff. Can be a bit of a glass-cannon type build.

Haven't played a Harbringer before but I've heard they're pretty good too. Dream has some good CC options and excellent passives, which is something Rogue doesn't have too much of as I feel it's more 'active' skill focused.

Dreamkiller a bit different than the other two combos. The other two are often played as more glass cannon type dual wielders. I did a 0 death xMax x3 run with Dreamkiller as a melee/trapper hybrid, through you can play Dreamkiller as different hybrid styles if you want. Dreamkiller has traps + Nightmare for it's pet buff, an absolute ton of CC and great passives. Less DPS but more survivability.

ty would love to try all haha. Assassin you are right can die easily but the offense is insane. Like one of the achievement says 100k damage and assassin can do that
