Triple Tap VS Precision Strike Top

Triple Tap



Pros
Triple Tap is much stronger.
Every time you kill a hero the cooldown fall to zero if you take Fast Reload at tier 7.
It can be cast far far away from your target.

Cons
When casting you cant move.
Triple Tap is a single target talent.
Triple Tap can be block by the structures and by the others ennemies.

Precision Strike



Pros
Can be cast everywhere on the map.
You can move at same time of casting.
Precision Strike is an AOE (Area of Effect).
You can use it with a little cooldown if you take Precision Barrage at tier 7.

Cons
Not a great amount of damage.
Take three second for casting so enemies can flee easily.

Why I Prefer Triple Tap
It does a great amount of damage and can be cast from far far away of your target. As an assassin you want to concentrate on one target only and it does a great amount of damage so for me, Precision Strike is useless cause it do a less, less amount of damage cause is an aoe (Area of Effect).

Useless Talent (my opinion) Top

Anti-Armor Shells

Since you're playing the assassin of the group , you want to take out your enemy as soon as possible so an AA ( auto -attack ) that take 3 seconds put you in a disadvantage so that's why i don't recommend it.

Envenom
To use Envenom you need to be closer to the enemy and that's not what we are looking for. What you want is the ( Gathering ) power ! Gathering power is a passive so for those who easily forgot to use active skill it will come handy.
