Do you want to kill things all... assassin-like!? Then this suitably named class is probably for you.

Seems like every MMORPG's gotta have one! That dual-wielding, stabbity based class that always makes everyone super angry with their ultra-evasion and sneaky tactics. That's right, today the Forsaken World team decided to do a class highlight of their new class that's only playable by Humans and Kindred: the Assassin! This sneaky class is, according to the FW team, capable of appearing and disappearing from the battlefield at a moments' notice, and their combo-point based abilities allow them to deal incredible burst damage and catch up to their fleeing opponents.

Some of the abilities highlighted in this devblog include your standard fare, like Swift Evasion (which gives a runspeed boost), but there are a few more unique abilities, like Lightbending Reflexes, where if the Assassin manages to dodge five attacks in quick succession while under the effect of Swift Evasion, he or she will become stealthed, and that stealth will not be removed by attacking. Interesting.

As well, Assassins will also feature some neat "don't hit me" abilities that rely more on reflecting damage and negative effects, like Snakeskin, where if the Assassin is slowed, she will slow her opponent for the same amount (and have a chance to remove the movement impairment on herself). While it certainly does sound like your everyday Rogue, the Forsaken World team does seem to have a few tricks up their sleeve!
