For a while there were misleading comments that a magic based assassin build is good, primarily this came from the misunderstanding of how weapon enchantments worked with Heaven's Key and running the Ur-Dragon many years ago.

The assassin in fact has very little use for magic in their skillset and benefits primarily from attack gains. Especially in DA.

Other than that, I can't see much loss in picking warrior for half of your pre-hundred levels because you're only sacrificing at most 90 Attack points for a pretty substantial health bonus. And you really don't need maxed attack to beat anything.

The wisdom of picking maxed attack builds was also mostly used to farm Ur-Dragon before the expansion release, since it was easier to hit the damage you needed on him with a maxed assassin build.

tl;dr you would have to try pretty hard to mess your build up as almost anything works.
