Overview -indoi-‘s Critical Assassin Guide
Hi Guys! I am returning player from Chaos/Odin pRO way back 2005-2008 with some know-how in Ragnarok online.
Currently playing in Loki server and I finally reached level 99 after grueling months of grinding.
Today I am going to share my personal knowledge and hope it will serve as a guide for other players who wanted to create an Assassin.
This guide is based on my own experience & understanding of Revo-Classic mechanics in ROPH.
Why Critical Assassin?
Pros:
• Can reach 80% to 120% critical rate without the use of Soldier Skeleton Cards.
• High single-target DPS that can reach 1- 1.5k critical with high Aspd.
• High flee rate and can solo most of the monster in RO.
• Very effective for solo and fun to play.
Cons:
• You need a lot of cards (racial critical cards)
• Requires endow to maximize its full potential
• Mediocre in MVP.
• Hard to level 99 compared to other Assassin Builds/Class
Stats
Since ROPH is running in revo-classic setup one must understand how stats works in this server. You may refer to https://irowiki.org/wiki/Stats for further reading.
Str: is your primary stat and should kept high to achieve a good DPS. You should have a minimum of 90-100 un-buffed Str or 110 using Str cards and food.
Agi: is your secondary stat which boost both your Aspd and flee. Aspd should be your main focus. Reaching 182 to 185 Aspd (Buffed) is the ideal sweet spot.
Vit: 9-40. IMO Vit doesn't really give you a high amount of HP but if you play WOE higher health pool is definitely needed.
Int: Leave it at 1.
Dex: Since you will have high critical chance, leave this at 1.
Luk: 40 to 60 is good but very wary that there are monster with high critical shield thus effectively reducing your critical chance. Luk also adds ATK and Hit Rate.
Note:
The actual ASPD calculation depends on AGI, DEX, ASPD Potions and skills, the type of equipped weapon, and current job class. It can take between 1 and 20 AGI to increase ASPD by 1.
I suggest you use stat calculators like this: http://upaste.me/calc/
(I personally use this one)
Equipment: (Non UPG and High End Equips)

High-end Alternative: 2x Mobster 1 Soldier Skeleton, 1 Mobster 1 Paper 1 Soldier Skeleton or 2x Mobster 1 Paper (Thief set will yield low critical rate)
When Compounded in Jur [3]:
Accessories Card:
Poring: Dirt cheap and +1 Crit and +2 Luk.
Picky: +1 Str, +5 ATK
Orc Warrior: +10 ATK
Petite Pet: This one is for Aspd fans. Helps you save 2-3 Agi points.
