or are kick/ds sinīs the most all round and flexible character there is? I read a guide (about kick/ds sin) on the forums a few days ago and when I think of it, I just love the way you can handle all situations in the game.

You got:

- Mindblast and CoS for excellent crowd control, very nice, especially in Hardcore.

- Kicks to quickly kill any boss in the game.

- Death sentry to kill mobs.

- Blade Fury to kill nasty enchanted bosses and OK (Iron Maiden).

- BoS and Fade to use were you need it.

All this makes you able to solo the game without all to expensive gear. If you donīt see a point in this thread, I just wanna let you know my love to the Assassin.

:heart: :heart: :heart:

Can you think of any build as flexible and all round? :scratch:

Please excuse my bad English, itīs not my native language.

Thatīs completley true, both pure summoners and the poison hybrids are very good. How ever iīve heard they fail to do the über tristram, not that I ever will come close to that but itīs possible to do with the Assassin, from what Iīve heard...

Cheers!

The skellymancer i'm pretty sure could solo them. With a merc with pride, and u with beast, and u cast lifetap and take one boss at a time a skellymancer should be able to kill uber tristram.. especially with revives with crushing blow. A pure kicker im posative can solo tristram ONE at a time. I think otherwise it becomes a little to much for them.. but i doubt a kick/ds sin could solo tristram. Your traps would do no dmg... you would just rely on ur kicks.

I havent seen "uber tristam" but Skellys dont do well vs UD the way I built mine. Now if I would of added to Summon resists more than just the 1 point maybe. Also, UD tends to eat up Revives just the same. However I have made a couple kickers that could solo UD at 80 it just takes a bit of time ans thier raw damage isnt good so the last sy 1/8 health or so is a lot of kicks.

I canīt see why a pure kicker could solo tristram and not a kick/ds? It takes 5 skill point to get Death Sentry....

but you have to max deathsentry.. and if u want good deathsentry dmg then ur most likely going to max one of it's synergys. That takes away form the shadow tree. I dono about u guys but all of my sins invest alot in shadow disciplins.. If im a trapper i just use shadow gc's. This is just me of course..

Not really.

DS dmg within the radius is the same whether you synergize it or not. The lightning part of it is just for show.

Basically the DS is just there for crowd control, you get one corpse with your kicks/shadow/merc/blade and then lay a few Death Sents and next area.

Any Hardcore build that involves melee requires massive twinkage. It is the only thing that makes melee builds unattractive personally.

On the other hand, if you are able to massively twink, any build can be unstoppable.
