Critical Strikes is the primary attribute of Assassins.

“

[edit] Notes

  • At higher levels, Critical Strikes serves as the main energy management for Assassins; this allows for use of many attack skills in succession.
  • Critical Strikes affects any weapon, not just Daggers; this aspect allows an Assassin to expand into other professions.
