Assassin
Assassin is a damage class that fights with a dagger. It has 22 skills bought with skill points and 13 stigma skills. At level 45 the 203 skill points cover 44% of what maxing every skill costs.
The Assassin uses stealth to hide from enemies before striking from behind. Armed with daggers in both hands, they boast rapid attack speed and employ various combo attacks utilizing poison or stun skills.

How far your points go at level 45
Our calculation from SkillAcquireData (cost of each skill level) and the Exp table (points earned by level). It counts points from levelling only; other sources of points are not in these tables.
A Assassin skill costs 21 skill points from level 1 to 10, so the 203 points of a level 45 character max 9 of the 22 skills. A stigma costs 75 stigma points to level 20; with 29 points one stigma reaches level 13. 4 stigma slots are open from level 37.

Learned at = character level (SkillAcquireData). Cooldown, range and cost at the level points reach; damage and healing as the tooltip's inputs: the flat amount and the share of Attack the game adds.
Where a point adds the most damage
Our calculation from the skill tables: flat damage per use at the points cap minus at level 1 (× hits), divided by the points those levels cost. The share of Attack does not change with level, so this is all a level adds.

Per use, not per second: a skill with a long cooldown gains more per cast but is cast less often. Critical hits, defense and damage boosts are left out; a min–max range counts at its midpoint.
