I basically agree with you regarding kote/kans in PK, would add that they are amazing in PVE which should be taken into account in terms of being able to easily gather preps/gear that some other classes might struggle with.

One of my huge frustrations with throw/GC, especially with the appropriate edges, is that aside from maybe a poison dart then nerve to open things up it makes no sense for the assassin to type anything but throw. If they get lucky they permalag you and you die, if they get unlucky and miss they only get one round of lag and can re-engage fast. The class has a bunch of interesting skills that should never see the light of day in PK because throw/GC is a better option, always.

Edit - okay, maybe owaza to lead into throw spam in some situations, Wooooo.
