the build i had wouldnt work with an A for a primary, because of some of the skills...but i as well have an A/R that ive got skills in mind for.......

i think an assasin would be annoying to play in pve since i doubt you'd be able to finish much combo's when fighting the average monster

Wouldn't that be a good thing? Are you saying you want the monsters to get beefed up so that you can have the satisfaction of using all your combos on one mob before moving on to the next one?

Been off Guild Wars for a while, and this forum, though seeing the CE of Factions made me have a look back to see how things were...and now I have questions again :P

What is the Assassin's energy total, 20 like a Warrior's, or higher? EDIT: from the screens I've found, I guess 20, so forget that question
Seeing all the new screens may have tempted me into buying Factions and building an Assassin, and the Alliance thingy seems interesting, though I must admit I never was a PvP player, I could never get the hang of it with my W/Mo. And yes I know W/Mo suck at PvP

its 25 with 4 regen bars and there is also a set of armor that gives you more. I use the set of armor that gives more heath since I use a crit build and I get +3 energy each time I do a crit (4 with crit eye on).

Ok thanks, now maybe I can make an assassin combo. Though how much energy does it give extra? Anywhere near 10 would be helpful, though I suppose those +5 energy daggers would help too.
Damnnit, Factions has got me hooked again... Why did I not see this coming?

I believe the Shrouded sets give you +7 or +8 more than normal, but I'm not sure which - like WarV, I use the Valkyrie sets for extra health. The assassin has enough ways to gain energy that it's not usually an issue, especially with Critical Strike.
