The Perfect Run Achievement (Assassin)

Someone please tell me how to play Assassin. I had so little idea I just turned it into a bootleg Acolyte. This run was my slowest, ranking 7 out of 7 for time, if anyone is curious. -- Watch live at / zaiyu

Assassin was actually my first class that reached the ending. The burst damage is high. I used phoenix blades, their mote crash down is insane. Roll and stab attacks are good. You need to spam your skills, blitz strike does a lot of damage and inflicts bleed if one other skill is on cooldown. Gouge is great since it immobilizes the target, except most bosses are immune to it and you start to wonder what was the dev team smoking when they made this game, because there are so many issues like this. First skill is great if you have a talent that makes an afterimage that repeats the attack.
Basically, the idea is stun with gouge, then use assassinate and its afterimage for damage and then use blitz strike for bleed and finish. With an upgrade your roll attacks prolong bleed by 3 sec, keep spamming roll attacks on a bleeding enemy
Then again, for some reason this is the hardest "soulsvania" i've played, so what do i know

The attack speed is what i like about this class, everything else feels too slow
