I'm trying to
RP as an Assassin and I'm very lost on how to do it. Can someone give me some pointers?
Also, I'm trying to consider what should be an ultimate skill for him. No AoEs, rapid fire, and all that though.
I asked another friend about this and he said assassins don't get attack buffs. I'm wondering if he's really yanking my chain, because I know assassins are supposed to be mass murders and MapleStory's Dual Blade class has 7 attack buffs.

Stealth doesn't really come close to being an "ultimate" ability...

Realistically speaking, Assassins did what they needed to kill someone and get out.
They're not mass murderers. They're professional hitmen.
Poison is commonly the most frequent method and the easiest to use. That said, if he needs an ultimate ability, to fit the role of assassin best, it should be something that secures the kill. A strong toxin, for example. Thematically, it works well with your low physical strength character as well.

Isn't making them bleed to death just as effective too?

a Hitman would be a "silent assassin"
there's a video game series where you get a ranking depending on how you take out the target
best ranking for least violence and detection
Don't need to play the game if you're lazy
this guy on youtube does walkthroughs on youtube

The problem with nonsilent assassins are that they dont tend to get out alive.

But, tons of MMORPG assassins do, even though they aren't silent at all.

This is usually because they have ridiculously strange mechanics like a 90% dodge rate or the ability to turn invisible in plain sight.

If this is a MMORPG assassin, then he needs an ability for him to deal burst damage at certain opportunities (like backstabbing, poison, increased bleeding)
and an escape ability

Got that already.
