The at-will teleport is incredible though. I love it, but beyond that, well my assassin AP'd used 2 dailies and didn't outdamage my barbarian with one at-will... The fact that you almost have to be a revenant sucks, the fact that assassin wielding fullblades is stupid, and that your hp's are so low is just icing on the cake.  Most of their powers are about being hidden/concealed which is cool...except there's nothing to bump up their damage, which a striker is supposed to do. Fighters easily out-damage the assassin.They are certainly playable, nothing in 4e isn't, but they are generally regarded as the worst striker, as they don't have the control of the warlock or rogue, lack the "nova" spike damage of a ranger or avenger, or the staying power and brutal crits of the barbarian.There's also precious little in the way of feats/skills/powers/items for the poor assassin as there's 0 support for the shadow class and almost all of the feats focus on poison (easily resisted/immune) or are race-specific.Personally, I really, really want to like the assassin, I love Murphy, but man he was being out-hit by a level 2 rogue I was so upset (Jax was a level 2 rogue in my Simple Errand game), despite being level 6.<a href="http://l4w.wikia.com/wiki/PC:Siblyx%28renau1g%29" target="_blank">PC:Siblyx(renau1g) - L4W Wiki</a></blockquote>
