Assasin returning after a year - help pleaseFollow

Assassins still have a back stab, but darned if I remember the name. They took out the class progression (Scout, Rogue, etc) so Cheap Shot might be gone, but check your Knowledge Book, there will be something else (Cheap Shot is a stun, btw).

Basically, here's what I'd do: empty all your hot bars.
Reload them form the Knowledge Book, examining EVERYTHING.
Play the toon like you'd just bought it, lol.

And WB!

Actually, yes! Especially if he hasn't played since before LU 13, the Combat Revamp. Play it like it's an all new game you know nothing about.

Please read again what I said. They removed the class trees. So you may have a stun, but it may not be the Cheap Shot that you had a year ago.

For example, Bards no longer get Pathfinding, which all scouts used to get. Bards now get Selo's. So if I was just coming back my Pathfinding button would be dead.

Take a look at your Knowledge book :) I understand your distress, my Troubadour also uses the stun-run-backstab technique, but unless you've checked every single spell in your knowledge book, you may be panicking prematurely.

Disclaimer: I don't have an Assassin to verify this one way or the other. Anyone?

Correct. When you go to the character create screen now, you get to choose your "final" class from the get-go! So in your case, if you were starting a brand new character today, you wouldn't start out with a scout and then become a predator at lvl ten and then an assassin at lvl 20... you would choose to be an assassin at lvl one.
