I agree with Apoq that life isn't everything, but you definately want to keep str and dex to a minimum, str to use your weap and dex for maxblock. If you do decide to use the ethereal bartucs and for gloves use IK (highly recommended) you will be able to pump a lot more into vita, which gives assassins 3 hp per stat point. For your bow assassin maybe use wizspike/ss for casting traps, as that is where you will be getting hit mst of the time and wizspike is great for casting. Keep us informed on your assns progress
