Noob checking in. I want a melee character, but I despise tanks. From what I think I understand, an archer would have higher damage potential than a warrior if you want a dps melee character. What I'm asking comes in two parts.
1. Is that true?
2. How do I build my character? I don't want it to fail.

Even if the former answer is no, I'd still like a build or at least some direction. I plan to play to level 10 applying the stats as I think I should. I want an assassasin if no one's figured it out yet. From what I understand, you get a respec in this game, so I'll check back for answers and use the feedback to do the respec. I figure this could start a guide for melee birds as well. Thanks in advance.
