LVL 21 Assasin Dueler?

[Ethics_13]

Well i decided to make a low lvl assasin Dueler, i'll probably stop at lvl 21 or a little higher.

I was wondering what gear would suit me best and where the skill/stat points should go.

Is there a guide on this somewhere?

Thanks,
Mario

Anyone? Im sure i saw a guide on it a long time ago, but google turned up nothing.

From what I can tell, martial arts assns are best for llds, especially if they're LOW LOW LOW lvl (9~20).

Basically what you should do is get 3 soc decent dam / speed claws w/ lvl reqs like 18 from hell, and soc it w/ tal runes. Try to socket gems / crappy runes AS MUCH AS YOU CAN in your ENTIRE gear because they help immensely when used by a low lvl.

In lld it is essential to squeeze as much hp as your char and at the sane time the max damage. A good 3 soc blade talon coupled with some ed jewels will work wonders. For belt and gloves use the death set, the ias from the gloves and the cannot be frozen mod from the belt cannot be compromised by much else. for boots you can choose from a nice set of rares, hsarus, gorefoot or cow king. Since you plan on going above lvl 12 angelic ammy and duel angelic rings work wonders. fro a helm find a 3 soc helm, socket it with eiter rubies or more ed jewels. For armor you can either save attributes points by going with a 3 soc light or go for a 4 soc gothic plate. Again soc the armor with rubies or ed jewels, whichever you see fit.

Edit: also deaths gloves and belt prety much give you tons of posion res. dont forget about charms max ed, ar ,and life charms are ones you are looking for. places i go for lld chars is chaos sanctuary norm and even act2 sewers norm. Oh and your shield go for a pelta lunata, if you get sick of trying to trade for one you can always look for a bone shield of deflecting (30% more block, 20% faster block) at Drognan in Act2 Nightmare, just keep going in and out of town if it doesn't appear costs around 18k. and for and added punch you could socket the shield with the first quest reward in act5.

I agree w/ everything, except the jewls. Your base dam will be too low for +ed% stats to do their thing. Better w/ tal runes or pf emeralds.

trust me + max ed jewels are much better than tal or p emeralds since most eveyone in lld uses deaths combo which gives you 75% psn res and cuts the duration rate in half. Tals and p emeralds aren't too hard to trade for or even find so you can try either one and see which fits you bests, i just talk from expierience. if you have 3 15+ max ed jewels in a blade talon i can pretty much promise good results when coupled with Tiger strike.

Neither ED jewels OR Poison damage is the way to go.

+max is your best option, followed by ED jewels. dual mod jewels (ed/max) are better than plain max (though not so much that it is worth lowering the +max single mod jewel, in favor of an ed/max jewel with lower max) For example:
a 15 max jewel is better than an 11max//9% ed jewel. So, max>ed>psn damage, though if you dont sacrifice much/any max, might as well get ED on those jewels too.

ED/Max jewels are bugged in armors/helms so that the ed is not fully counted, I believe that max effects... max dmg, and ed effects only min dmg.

sorry by ed jewels i meant +max jewels. i think the max you can get for under lvl for max damage jewels is +15 max dmg, but i could be wrong. :scratch:

[Matt]

The max possible damage on a level 18 (all the way till level 27) is 15 for a single mod jewel (of carnage) and I believe its 22 for a double modded, both perfect +max mods (forget the prefix, again suffix is of carnage)

Also, the charms of choice are smalls of sustinence, and sharp grand charms.
