I've experimented with the different vocations and the skills/augments they impart (starting from scratch quite a few times) and finally decided to go with a daggers/bow assassin for my first committed playthrough. After much deliberation, I've settled on four definite augments: Fortitude, Bastion, Awareness and Bloodlust. I'm still undecided as to what my final two augments should be. I considered learning Vehemence and Clout, but I'm hesitant to spend all the time it would require as a Fighter and Warrior. Perhaps the difference between having those augments as opposed to the strength boosts from consistent leveling as an assassin instead would be negligible in the long run. Since I usually snipe enemies from a distance to thin their numbers before finishing them off in close combat, I'm leaning towards Preemption as my fifth augment. My sixth augment is still in question. Autonomy is not necessary at this point. I didn't spend all the time it took to create my main pawn and plan his future skills/augments just for him to stagnate in The Rift. Any suggestions from some DD veterans would be much appreciated.
