Class Skill Lines

Subclassing

Using subclassing,replace the Dark Magic skill line of the Sorcerer class with Assassinationfrom the Nightblade’s toolkit. Dropping Dark Magic means losing the valuable Crystal Shard burst skill and Dark Exchange sustain skill. However, Assassination will replace it with the higher burst damage ofMerciless Resolve, combined with better passive abilities.
