See this post from Marco, kinda explains why most people say Assassin is a squishy starter.
For skills you'll want to max: Perfect Being, Shadow Refuge, Way of the Spider, Barrier Strike, and Laser Blade. Rest into probably Broadside. Once you get to 90, take all your Way of the Spider points and instead max Prismatic Cloak and max Broadside. Also put 1pt into Beacon. That should set you up for success.
Marco wrote:That said, there's a few things that can make leveling assassin drastically different in terms of execution. In one hand, the constant upkeep and scaling of shadow refuge is very important and is often overlooked in many specs for being in a melee tree. Another topic is increasing HP early on either via RWs or jewels which is fundamental. If you miss one or even both of these things (you can assume a good majority reading tier list will) you are going to get absolutely demolished. This happens because hit-recovery animation will interrupt you anytime a blow deals 1/12 of your hp - no physical mitigation combined with a low health pool will get you quickly hitlocked to death.

Yeah, other characters have various ways to mitigate phys damage (druid has acid fiends, barb has minions/passives, zon has passives, paladin has minions/blessed life). Assassin is pretty sad in that respect and her life growth is the worst in the game.
TU setup to not die horribly over and over again going into hell, because we need to prioritize not getting hitlocked:
Weapon: Any rare claw/naginata-type as you'll be using crucify from lvl 1 ->
Helm:
Armor:
Belt:
Gloves:
Boots:
Jewelry: Prioritize +skills/+life/resists/breakpoints. No specific recommendations on uniques here because you can't guarantee one will roll up.
Sockets: Jah Runes/perfect skulls in weapon, topaz/bloodstone/onyx/turquoise in armor for resistances to at least 75%, rest should probably be jewels as noted above for the armor. For both, life and resists are priorities early on.

Jewelry: Prioritize +skills/+life/resists/breakpoints. No specific recommendations on uniques here because you can't guarantee one will roll up.
Sockets: Jah Runes/perfect skulls in weapon, topaz/bloodstone/onyx/turquoise in armor for resistances to at least 75%, rest should probably be jewels as noted above for the armor. For both, life and resists are priorities early on.
In 1.4 nagisin has a huge bust of damage and this class has become playable again.
Several advices:
1) CRUCIFY - 1 point - this is the best dmg skill for a solo target
2) SHADOW REFUGE - enough for 50 resists. It the late game 1 point only needed.
3) LASERBLADE - max - defence boost and solid dmg up
4) HADES GATE - 4-5 points. You will need 3.8 seconds cooldown, so, when you under SHADOW REFUGE and BLOODBATH this will be zero cooldown.
This is our main farming skill
5) I prefer max WAY OF THE GRYPHON then BEACON - WAY OF THE GRYPHON gives you solid dmg boost in the current patch
6) BARRIER STRIKE - good skill for control enemies and for damage by targets who try to run away from you, but I do not see any reasons to spending more than 1 point in it.
Mainly I max these skills: LASERBLADE, WAY OF THE PHOENIX, PERFECT BEING, WAY OF THE GRYPHON, PRISMATIC CLOAK
Free points - WAY OF THE SPIDER
In the mid-game, your first goal will be to find a sacred naginata(any! you may make it rare with Charsi), then craft it by any available shrine for at least +8 for skills.
Then try to find another one and craft it with abandon/weird shrine for better stats. When you get a better result, swap it and continue craft on previous.
Then farm for nagiset
This needs proof!!! and I will be extremely grateful for one)))
Your breakpoints for AS = 240 and for HR = 200
So, for the start of the mid-game two
Gem crafting - all possible sockets( when you have enough resists) - Ber crafting - AS/FR for breakpoints - than any good what you are able to roll.
You will have poor HP pool, but a perfect lifestill and have no problem with mana too.
Mercs - I prefer act 5 - he is able to be a tank and provide us with a dmg boost, but feel free to test others.
Does someone understand how to use BACKSTAB now? It looks like absolutely useless in the current patch!

No less than light plate. I'd definetly say don't be afraid to even go for ancient armor because you get a lot of move speed already and you teleport around, the defense is helpful. One of my favorite things to do is make xis rebel with good rolled -req/hp/leech jewels - about 3xx req and it will allow you to use all the highest defense bases with 0 points invested in strength. Especially plated belt and greaves which give a lot of defense.

I've streamed solo self-found nagisin.
She is already lv134.
It may give you some idea about how to play nagisin.
It impressed me that nagisin can farm duncraig with t4 gears.
Of course, there are a lot of death.
But if you get used to the playing style, the situation becomes better and better.
