Factions' two new professions are the assassin and the ritualist, which join the original game's warrior, elementalist, monk, mesmer, necromancer, and ranger classes. Assassins specialize in wielding a dagger weapon in each hand and attacking swiftly, while using evasive skills to increase their running speed, improve their chances to dodge incoming attacks, and in some cases, to quickly and instantly retreat in battle. Assassins have several stepwise skills--there are additional attack powers that can trigger an attack from the assassin's off-hand, for instance, plus other attack skills that are keyed in succession from off-hand attacks.
