Okay, here's the Sin part for my Earlier Topic..

Pets:

Tier 2.

Wolf It may be the best pet for reducing incoming damage for Assassins as its Belted stat. bonuses are +10% Agility (at lvl40) and +10% Evasion (at lvl90). With this Assassins can evade most of the attacks made by white mobs because their Agility is the highest compared to all other classes.
Skeleton Its' Belt-Card ability is Agility+10% (at lvl40) and Atk Speed+10% (at lvl90) allowing Assassins a higher dodge rate and faster attack speed. Dirks are the preferred weapon for the Sin to maximise attack speed. Skeletons are poor pets to use when farming (unless both the Sin and Skeleton are buffed) but are excellent and underrated DD's in a DP. It's highly advisable to use a dirk and hunter armour on the skeleton if it is the summoned pet; this equipment maximises it's attack speed and HP.
Orc Orcs are good all-round pets and are effective first pets for starting Assassins. Their unity gives p.atk and p.def to the pet and owner and they are good DD's also- their 1 hit debuff skill reduces the targets' p.def, allowing more damage to be done (great for using Bloody Blade).
Blue Pixie This might seem like an odd pairing at first, but the BP helps an Assassin's survivability when soloing. They have the best healing abilities of any pet and a unity that allows the Assassins' mana to be regenerated at a moderate rate so that they are able to continue using their skills. This makes a noticable difference even in dungeon parties when the healer can't get to you in time. However the BP doesn't offer much else apart form healing and if an Assassin uses one in a DP they will be expected to use it to heal themselves (and others if needed).
Octopus An odd pet, and somewhat unpopular because it's regarded as ugly by most players and it's quite different from all other tier 2 pets in terms of its' skills, equipment passives and unity. Most Assassins will use an octopus for its' life-leech buff which, combined with a fast attack speed and Sin Impact allows the Sin to recover large amounts of HP very quickly. It's unity is also effective on Sins as it allows attacks to do more damage and helps with mana recovery. However it is a squishy pet, much like a pixie.

Tier 3.

Hawkman The hawk is simply an upgraded Orc, with better stats, unity and looks. It does more damage, can take more damage and helps the assassin do the same.
Salamander A rarely-used pet on an assassin because of its' hybrid physical/magical DD abilities and unity. It does not help the Sin defensively at all and is best used in a DP where luna chips allow it to maximise its' DD.
Unicorn A somewhat unusual main pet for a Sin but surprisingly useful. Its unity (if the JP are spent on it) gives MP which are always welcome on a warrior-class, it has a good healing spell with a fast cooldown, an excellent Blind skill and a buff which allows the Sin to move faster. Its belted stat also gives 12% agility. For farming it's an effective pet (use it like a BP) and in DP's it's a helpful assistant healer and debuffer. Also, at Evo3 (preferably lvl115) you can ride it- it gives a movement speed similar to the Quilin.
Nightmare A tier 3 version of the Skeleton, it is a great DD. It's unity gives more HP to the Sin which can be the difference between surviving a hit or dying from it. Also, at Evo3 (preferably lvl115) you can ride it- it gives a movement speed similar to the Quilin. Its first attack skill gives the Bleed effect, where the target cannot regenerate HP and takes Damage over Time- this skill is particularly useful on Bosses in a DP (the prevention of HP regen is an overlooked form of DD) and on other Sins in PVP/Siege as it uncloaks them.
Harpy An uncommen used pet on an assasin. It's a great DD but it's ranged wich isn't very usefull when farming since it atks the mob from a distance while you have to run to the mob. But it's a great pet for a sin in a DP since it speeds the assasin up when already having a high atk. speed.

Tier 4.

Kentauros A summoned Kenta is a great DD in a dp and greatly increases the Sins' damage output in a DP. Its' unity plays to the strengths of the Sin Class and its' 1-hit debuff skill is effective at reducing incoming damage from a mob.

Angel Another odd-but-effective combo, it's unity adds p.def (more than orc, hawk or yeti) and it can heal. Its' 1-hit debuff reduces the targets' p.def and m.atk which allows more damage to be done but otherwise it does little to help the Sin DD. Possibly a good pet to use when farming (especially champ mobs) but you may get a few questions asked if you turn up to a DP with an angel!
