A new assasin build.

[Demond]

Ok guys, I have decided to create an assasin, that can tank hell easilly, magic and key find, as well as be an ok dueler. After searching threw the guides, and being influinced greatly by the warrior monk build, here is what I have come up with. Now keep in mind I'm not the richest guy out there, but can afford a few decent items.

Skills.

Traps.

20 in death sentry, and 1 in all other preq's.
Or would light sentury be better for this build?

Shadow discipline.

20 in fade,
20 in venom to boost my kick dmg?
5-10 in shadow master, my skill boosters will bring this up, and extra skills will go here.
10-15 in cloak of shadows, to make things a bit easier.
1 in mind blast, ust to keep those big crowds back, my gear will bring this up as well.

Martial arts.

20 in dragon flight,
Do you think I should put any in dragon talon? With dragon flight and traps is it neccissary?


Gear.

This is gear I curently have, and plan on using.

Helm, Shako.
Armor, Enigma - for teleporting on mf runs and key rins, as well as rushing I think this is a neccesity.
Weapon, PB Death.
Boots, Upped gores
Gloves, Dracs.
Sheild, Spirit Monarch.
Rings, Raven, carrion wind.
Ammy, A rare with +1 to assain skills, life leach and a few other good mods.
Belt, Dungos.


With this assasin, I would like to be able to teleport in, cast my shadow, cast cloak and fade with a few hotkeys, set traps, and if there are any light immunes, I would like to be able to easily take them out with Dragon flight. Do you think this will work with the skills and gear chosen, and be able to easily tank in hell? Do you think any changes need to be made in order to make thi build effective? Will my traps do enough damage to kill all non-light immunes in hell, or should I be focusing more on the tras preq's than my kicking skills?

Thanks.

Okay, first, props for trying something different. :thumbsup:
As for the build, Dflight is not a viable main combat skill. It is interuptable in combat, only attacks ever second or so, and is slow firing. To kick monsters, points in talon are necessary.

Second, if you are looking for a tank, why the Spirit? Tanking heavily in hell is mainly because of 3 things:
1. Life Tap
2. Correct stat distrubution, i.e. very high Vita
3. Dr/Block. Your build has one of these, but only 50% block. You will lose quite a bit of life getting max block (via dex) for spirit.

You haven't spent all your skills yet, the rest should go in synergies for LS. It will be very low and slow if you dont have these. Finally, 1 point only in CoS.

Hey, thanks alot!

As for my skills, I havnt started actually building the char yet, she is lvl 1, I am gathering gear and info before I start to build her. So if not dragon flight, then what? And what sheild do you perpose? And with traps and mind blast, is it still neccessary to have max block?

Thanks.

hey just a suggestion, but i don't think you'll really need 20 points in fade. You should probably only level it up enough to max your resistances while wearing your equipment in my opinion...

[Demond]

Yeah thanks. I think that will probably do. That way I can put more in trap and martial preqs. Also do you think dragon talon, or maybe dragon tail for the knockback? Or which move kicks extremely fast? Sorry I'm new to sins.

Thanks.

A freind of mine told me a few things today. First, he said don't max venom, for it will not be a big help in most kicking skills. Secondly, he told me to max BoS, instaed of fade, since I will already have max resistance, and could use the speed from BoS in my attacks. He also told me to max light sentury, instead of death, and I will need dragon talon, as well as dragon flight to be effective. These skills, combined with the gear above, do you think it will be an effective char?

[Demond]

A freind of mine with a godly sin, told me a few things about this build yesterday. First, he said since I will have max resistance, not to max fade, but BoS because it will help my attack speed, secondly, not to max venom, because it doesn't add alot to the dmg of kicks. Thirdly he said to max light sentury, instead of death, and that I will need dragon talon, and gragon flight to be effective.

So that would be:

20 light sentury
20 in BoS
1 in mind blast
20 in dragon flight
20 in dragon talon
10 in cloak
rest in shadow master.

That would make my shadow master around lvl 10 or 11 at lvl 99, which I will never get to, so I will have to do a bit of skill adjusting to get him a higher lvl, like, in BoS, it probably doesnt need to be maxed, lvl 10 or 11 with my gear should do the trick. Which would put shadow at lvl 10, plus gear at around lvl 80.

This combined with the gear listed above, max resist, do you think this would be an effective build in hell?
