Borderlands 2: Best Assassin Skill Build
Assassin
So is Zero the Assassin a character class that should remain hidden and fight from far away? It certainly can be!
You can spec your character so that you're a high rate, damage per second (DPS) sniping build that can destroy enemies by blasting their critical areas fast and efficiently using the Sniping Skill Tree.
You can also say "eff that" and take up arms in the Bloodshed Skill Tree for the best Assassin Melee Build -- and when bundled with Cunning Skill Tree abilities, it becomes even stronger.
We aren't looking at a melee build though. We're looking at what's possibly the best Assassin solo build, which makes use of Zero's sniper rifle skills for massive damage. It also bundles in some health and shield skills for defensive purposes, making it like an Assassin Tank Build, but in general, they do not actually tank as well as other classes can (go to Salvador the Gunzerker for that).
This class build uses the Sniping Skill Tree up to tier 6 and then the Bloodshed Skill Tree up to tier 3. This build does not use the Cunning Skill Tree at all.

Assassin Strongest Class
The Assassin may very well be the strongest class out there. Play him well and you'll win every time. You can actually use a shotgun build for him too if you wish or a build more designed for close range combat, but that's entirely up to you.
With this build you'll want to get a nice rare, epic, or legendary sniper rifle with elemental damage to be at your best. You can also search for E-Tech Sniper Rifles or a Seraph Sniper Rifle too.
Be sure to get a nice class mod too, as you'll want it to help you further improve your skill set.
