Couple questions about...

[shaftstop]

Assasins - back in 09 was the last time I tried one and it wasn't bad at all spent a lot of time experimenting with them, I've come full circle now and considering making something alittle more restricted.

Im looking to build a reasonable cheap MFer, for cows and whatever else Ican MF im usually more toward barbs but i hate the possible threat of dropping cow king or something like that, also the fact that its harder to MF alot of places as a barb not impossible just requires abit of wealth.

So Im trying to decide what is cheaper or what I can start with little to no funds, a Light Sent. Trapsin or a Lightning Sorc or lastly a Javazon w/ Lightning.
Im mostly ruling out Javazon because you need atleast a Titans to really get anywhere, and Lightning Sorc seems very fragile.

Opinions would be appreciated :)

Honestly, I'd go with lit fury javazon...eventually you will find a Titan's. Honestly, if you're on USEast ladder, if I have any non eth ones, I'll give free. Low ed% non-eth Titan's have no value... pgems.

The rest of the gear is similar in value. A Shako, Thundergods vigor, +2 jav/20ias gloves which you can easily shop. Going to need some mana leech and then that's about it... a cheap runeword armor that gives resists, a cheap runeword shield that gives resists, etc.

I have experience with both chars and I think a lit fury javazon would work better as a Cow runner.

Also... all it takes is max Lit fury, so you have a TON of options to go with your char. You don't need to synergize Lit fury as all it gives is 1%. So you're gonna have tons of extra skill points.

Take a look at this post here for a sweet Freezing arrow/Lit fury hybrid zon that murders everything in the game which you can make for cheap...

Even the cheaper items I listed there seem like they might be out of your range but you can get even lower end stuff that would be viable in hell. Honestly, by the time you get to Hell, you should have some of that lower end stuff I listed.

A cold/lit hybrid would also allow you to mf wherever you want instead of being relegated to Cows and whatnot. Trust me on this... it's such an awesome PvM build and a lot of fun. In my opinion, the only faster pvm killer is a Hammerdin (which should've been nerfed years ago).
