Sorry for the double post, but just a quick question:

Should I promote Lon'qu to Swordmaster first, so he learns Astra and then Reclass him to Thief -> Assassin path, or should I just go full Assassin straight on?

Astra is pretty lame (five hits that do half the normal damage, unless you are lucky and a critical hit gets added) while an assassin's skill kills instantly. If I planned to get both, I would certainly take the assassin path first.

Lon'qu has a high critical chance naturally and I've got a couple of Killing Edges to spare too. Plus, doesn't Assassin have a higher stat cap than Swordmaster too? That would make it a better ending class no?

Assassin's do have a higher skill cap (4 more than swordmaster) but Lethality has a lower proc chance than Astra.

Astra % = Skill / 2

Lethality % = Skill / 4
