Default Re: Perfect assassins?

My favourite Assasins.

Abyssian prophet assasin based on your starting assasin. You get to use it everytime and early. Spreads dominion, captures provinces - Yay!

C'tis assasin utilising summon skeletons. Skeletons are great. Perhaps the best assasin.

Macahaka assasins - they are tough enough to be used without items. Not certain on this one but its worth a good look.

Other assasins using a skull amulet. Because they are cheap.

I used to love Contracts of Life Long Protection but I'm still unsure about them in Dom2 with the changed costs.

In general a cheap assasin is a good one. You can spend an incredible amount on items for an assasin who may seldom get to kill anyone. I would rather be building super combatents than super assasins as SC's get to do alot more damage.

As a random plot aside my favourite SC('s) in dom (1&2) are Ice Devils. Wraith sword, boots of flying, ethereal cloak, luck, Anti magic if needed, cast quickness and slaughter. The best thing about them is having 3-5 pouncing on a poor unsuspecting army - their maneuverability is incredible. I know its not that flashy but they are so practical - and they get a supply of water gems for doing the big freeze. They were also my first.

Cheers
