Gearing up
Here are a few must-haves for an assassin:
-diamond sword, sharp III, knock II
-ghast tear
-power V bow (punch is optional)
-enchanted leather armor (protection IV, all BUT helmet, I'll explain why)
-strength pot(s)
-regen pots
-splash health pots
- one or two speed pots
-food (of course)
-arrows (of course, don't need to be placed in bottom row of inventory)
Why not have an enchanted leather helmet?
It provides protection to a degree, but the more enchants are on it, the faster it wears out. By the time its a prot. IV, it lasts about half a fight before breaking. No helmet = no stealthing = death.
STEALTH IS THE ASSASSIN'S BEST WEAPON. DON'T LET IT GO TO WASTE!
Entering PvP
NEVER charge in where you know a huge crowd will be. That's the paladin's job. The point of assassin is to be sneaky, and always be the first to strike. Wherever you know there is a crowd, don't go in. Don't go in, where you know the crowd is. If the crowd is in Quara, go to Sokk, and make your way to Quara the back way. Try to avoid any small fights on the way, you don't want to waste your pots/armor.
Right before going into the battle
Load up on your potions. Drink your strength potion, a regen potion, and pick your target. I usually pick the person who I think will be most of a challenge in the fight to sneak attack. With your strength pot, depending on what he or she is wearing, you could go from taking out a few hearts, to killing them altogether in the first 3 seconds of the fight.
The fight
Once the rest of the party sees you killing their best member, they'll start to attack you. Well this is what I do. RUN! An assassin in leather doesn't have a chance against 4-5 gladiators hamstringing you. Drink your speed pot, and book it. Start picking them off with your power V bow, and it will deal them quite a lot of damage. This is mostly for delay, most assassins forget that they can sneak attack more than once in a fight. Sneak again, and drink your regen potion. This should get rid of a few more people, and by then the fight should be you and someone else. If about to die, look at the ground and right click with your splash health potion, it will instantly heal you to a degree.
Repeat. (lol)
An assassin is in the fight! What do I do if I get sneak attacked?
Stay calm, drink your regen potions, and splash your health pots. If you do that, and STAY CALM, you will not die, I promise.
