Even a 13th level Assassin is going to get a single attack for 16d6+5 damage. 61 points once as an opening shot.How does that compare to say the warlock with Eldritch Blast that does 3d10+3d6+15 for an average of 42 every time he fires the ability. Or a Sharpshooter archer. Or a smiting paladin. Along with tons of other utility abilities. An Arcane Trickster can choose hold person casting it from a hidden position giving the target disadvantage getting a crit nearly every round. Seems like a much weaker ability now. Not worth taking. Then again it is barely worth taking even running it as we were running it with a guaranteed critical to open the fight. Pales in comparison to Arcane Trickster versatility. The only rogue worth taking if you want maximum combat contribution is the Arcane Trickster.</blockquote>
