Assassins in speedclears always take the role of tank or terra using Shadow Form.
Armor
Standard Armor
Assassin standard armor uses 5x Blessed insignas, a shadow arts headpiece with superior shadow arts rune (+1+3), a superior vigor and 3x runes of vitae (30 hp) or attunement (6 energy). Health is better for general tanking, especially in DoA, while energy is preferred on FoW terras.
You always want an extra "high hp" headpiece with a minor shadow arts rune (+1+1) for a 75 hp boost.
You may want to have an extra piece of armor (not headpiece) with a superior dagger mastery rune to swap to meet the req on your daggers on terra roles.
Armor vs Type
Assassins have access to the profession specific insignas which provide +10 armor vs physical and an additional +10 vs each physical damage (Piercing, Slashing, Blunt). It may be worth having an extra set of armor with one of those if you decide to focus on some specific role. Those armors will have the same runes as the standard one, and all Insignas replaced:
- Infiltrator's (+10 vs physical, +10 vs piercing) for Gloom (DoA) as Trench Tank and Cave (FoW) as T2 (FoW) or T4 (FoW)
- Saboteur's (+10 vs physical, +10 vs slashing) for tanking Wolves in Urgoz
- Vanguard's (+10vs physical, +10 vs blunt) for tanking abyssals in FoW as MT

1. ^ In T2way, Blessed is good anywhere but forge.

12. ^ In T2way, lightning shield is effective against Skeletal Icehands and Spirit Shepherds.
Pcons
Assassins don't typically need many pcons to be effective, however every little bit helps. Cupcakes are mandatory in Terra roles, and you should always have Powerstones in your inventory in case you get interrupted.
Summoning Stones
- Ghastly stones for damage
- Legionnaire Crystal for damage
- Throwaway stones for breaking aggro
PvE Skills and Titles
- Norn is extremely important for IaU, which is really common on assassins
- Deldrimor for Dwarven Stability on T4 (FoW)
- Ebon Vanguard is extremely important for Honor, which is taken on terras and Main Tank (FoW)
- Asuran rank 4 is required for T2 (FoW)

13. ^ As FoW MT, you can either bring Technobabble to help finish off Shadow Monks, or if you are confident in your V1, you can bring Dash instead.
14. ^ FoW MT can bring either DStab or IaU for anti-KD.
15. ^ Only one sin in sinway Urgoz (often the A/N) brings Honor.
