Are you sure you actually read the post, or just skimmed? This isn't simply about the Assassin being "stacked", but about the Assassins stacking destroying the point of the Fighter and Strider classes, and to a lesser extent the Warrior.

The point of having 9 Vocations, is the fun and flexibility of playing them. Once you make two of them nearly irrelevant because you wanted another to be uber, then the decision to have 9 becomes illogical.

As I suggested, removing some of those weapon skills and giving the extras to the Fighter and Strider, allows the Assassin to remain a powerful, flexible, and unique class, without ruining the other two.

The accessibility you speak of would still be there.
