Making use of your Assassin hero's

ok the problem with assassin heros is they aint that good add using assasin builds but the warrior and derv heroes can use their skills much more effectively than the assassin heroes, so its better to just use a war or derv if you need a melee hero.

So what is the assassin hero good for wel here is one option The critical barrager

The Critical Barrager makes use of the Assassin primary Attribute Critical Strikes and the skills Way of the Master + Critical Eye to increase the chance of critical hits. Coupled with a zealous bow string, this character has to hit just 2 enemies per Barrage (on average) to recover the energy cost

Equipment
A zealous bow is recommended, a Flatbow like the Ironwing Flatbow or Chkkr's Flatbow is generally preferred for Barragers, though a Recurve Bow can also be taken.
