Assassin Damage:


People seem to like big numbers but with the assassin it's generally all about speed, the ability to stack damage, having other things attack for you while you attack directly and being able to limit the number of attackers. So while one attack may not do as much as one attack from a barbarian or sorceress assassins by the nature of the claws they use can attack very fast, multiple traps can be placed to increase the damage output, you can add Venom to add poison damage to your attacks, Dragon Talon and Dragon Claw can hit multiple times per attack, Burst of Speed can increase your attack speed, Death Sentry can blow corpses for you, you can charge Tiger Strike to increase your physical damage and so forth. It's good to do lots of damage in one attack but if you can do less damage at a very fast rate and have other things do damage at the same time in the end you could be able to do about as much or even more damage over the same period as high damage slow attacks could.
