The MA offers a lot of player versatility so if you're a little uncertain of how you'd like to handle yourself with enemies, this voc enables you to use the advantage of distance to gauge your best options as well as giving you decent offensive tactic should you need a closer advantage. The major downfalls are of course precision against larger enemies where targeting one area at a time is advised. MAs are fantastic supports for those looking to test the water of the combat system in general without being utterly overwhelmed with changes in tactical situation.

Assassins are the more volatile of the vocs available to the game offering you greater precision as well as the short/long range advantage (minus elemental fury automatically allocated to MAs. Their invisibility option grants you a quick escape tactic in situations beyond your skill or comfort and unlike the MA, assassin skills in general are less taxing on your stamina keeping your charged tactics a little more diverse when the going gets tough.

Take your time and don't forget that you can always switch up your options at the capital's inn if you decide the choice you made wasn't quite what you desired in the end.
