Return of Reckoning

If anything, it gets easier the bigger the fight gets, especially when Pug Warbands are involved. You just prowl around the fight picking off stragglers.

You are right.
But you actually nned to know where are loners can be catched.
Otherwise, short after you are jumped on the "loner" you would be surrounded by group or more, focusing you alone

Choose WL if you want big dmg and fast burst, combined with awesome mobility.
WE/WH really dont work in big fights.

Probably, you didn't know what is assassin means...

light armour, ranged weapon, something to stab with, fantastic mobility, distraction techniques, hit hard and fast playstyle isn't an assassin?

SH is the best damn assassin in the game and SW isn't far off

Not really.
Assassin - the silent killer, come from shadows, get the job done, gone to shadows.
You are described something closer to Sniper or marksman

you have WE and WH, which are miserable in large scale and don't feel like assassins at all, but because they have flashy knives and a stealth button they are assassins?

then you have SH and SW, absolute kings of surfing the zerg, picking off key targets, stragglers, lone travelers, respawners, ect. but having bows makes them snipers? (a way in which barely anybody plays them)

when recommending classes to newcomers do we appraise them by their game play or their promotional images?
SH and SW absolutely do have stealth, it's called having a small profile and using cover

WE/WH are the assassins: stealth tactics, huge burst damage, weave in and out of battle, melee.
