When I made my Nightblade in beta, Archery was weapon skill I went with. It's great for dealing damage, and a lot of the Night Blade abilities scale well with it. The first Night Blade ability you get from assassination is Assassin's Blade, which is basically a powerful melee finisher ability that deals bonus damage against enemies with low health. At first I thought the fact that it was melee kinda sucked, but then the morph option let me make the ability a ranged one. I'd say the Nightblade class would be the best one to go with Archery in since most of the abilities are geared toward high damage, escape mechanics, and abilities that sustain your own health while crippling enemies.
