Any suggestions on how to develop an Assassin? I've now played through the 
first act, to level 15; and I'd prefer to know in which direction to 
develop her before I end up wasting points on skills that turn out to be 
useless later on.

So far I've been using Martial Arts mainly, which works great against 
single monsters or small groups (3 charges each of Tiger and Cobra strike 
unloaded at once is quite impressive...) but I noticed later on (in the 
Monatery) that large groups (4 or 5 up) give me quite some trouble (I ended 
up more than once running in panic for my life while hunting for potions in 
my backpack cause the belt had run out)

I've ignored traps for now. Was that a mistake? They seem to be the only 
thing that allows the assassin to deal with crowds...

Any recommendations?
