Assassin Leveling: the best AION 2 build

You level by alternating Quick Slice (left click, restores MP) and Savage Roar (right click, engraves Insignia), then Heart Gore whenever a crit lands. Lifesteal on Heart Gore, Ambush and Storm Rampage replaces potions; Illusive Clone and Throw Shadowblade arrive with stigmas.
