Its a waste to invest in other skills. Since you get 100 gold for assasiantion kills (1.03), wealth is a needless skill.

All you need to invest in is dexterity (30 points = 2 attacks per second, at this point you can change flametongue or iceblade unless you get the vorpal blade or sword of sir aranok, but in the campaign you can get 2x+50% attack speed bonus too)then later in strength.

Because of your high dex. you'll have pretty high armor and resistance by deafult(and of course great movement speed), which you furtherly boost by the right equipment.

My choice is the Minotaur, since its a neutral race have assasin units too, and their skill to eat animals to heal/cure can save healing potions for you

Head= Blood Helm (later Helm of might)

Weapon = Swiftblade, Flametongue/Iceblade then Vorpal Sword/Sword of Sir Aranok

Armor = Royal Runemail

Left hand: Obsidian Shield

Accessory: Horns of the K'varr x2

Boots: Elven Boots

By only investing in Assasination, I already have 40% chance at level 32. WIth high attack speed, 50, max 51% is enough so you can later pump up other skills
