If a recall correctly, poison dmg from venom doesn't show up here, not to mention you're delivering 90+% cb incredibly fast; I wouldn't be too worried there.

"However for PvP and for the purpose of uber-hunting it can be incredibly handy – you cast it once and minions ignore you; plus, they are easier to hit and you are harder to hit! A maxed CoS for a uber-only Assassin would be a wise investment."

Dumping points into Cloak is a good thing for ubering (from the Warrior-Monk guide). He also recommended points into mindblast, the more in, the more the shadow will spam mb - never a bad thing for keeping minions away from you. Though I think blade fury was meant as a one point wonder (again taken from the guide) as the itd won't work on the bosses - but it will on the minions, and trigger lifetap before you even get into dtalon range. Good luck hunting the triplets with the 'sin. :grin:

1. "Last wish" while lacking ias has 60-70% cb, giving Apophis 96% with all gear. It also has lifetap, which frees up the glove slot from Dracul's allowing for much better options for warrior-monks (read on).

2. "Grief" + damage doesn't add to kicks. The stickied "Kicking Basics" has this plus a bunch of other useful info for kickers: http://forums.diabloii.net/showthread.php?t=127905.

3. Heaven's Light has a base speed of [0] with 20 ias and a possibility of 2 sockets. Now with two shaels (20 ias each) that's a max [-60] weapon speed. Double check here: http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/elite/uscepters.shtml. And here for rune info: http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/items/runes.shtml.

Apophis, I know you didn't list in your gear, but Laying of Hands gloves are a good way to make up the ias, Heaven's Light notwithstanding. Plus the 350% damage to demons on top of the 200% from "Chains of Honor" will make those kicks really do a bit more damage than is listed to the triplets. Sorry, forgot to mention that a few posts ago.

p.s. stick with the "Last wish," it'll work fine for you. :wink3:

[Apophis]

thanks,i do still have a problem,everything works fine but i am lacking this: at the 1 life uber,heals TOOO FAST,when i am about to kill him he heals too fast,and my assa misses the hit,its not the lag,i am sad

%Damage to demons doesn't carry over to kicks IIRC. Also if looking for raw damage to lay some smack on the ubers, try Fortitude vs CoH.

[Apophis]

well,i thought about that,i must buy one forti :D

[HCKull]

You need the resists from COH to deal with Meph's -125% to resists.

You could add a poison charm or some form of open wounds to stop the bad guys from healing.

[brokensvt]

As stated above, Meph is my girlfriend in Ubers using Fortitude. I have maxed(stacked) resists with Conviction hitting me. Fast kicks = no regen from any of the three. Open wounds doesn't work on Ubers. I think you'll find that a nice set of upped Gores are a nice piece as well. I prefer them over my 'dancers for PvM. Metalgrid is a nice item for any kicker, and a nice source of further resists.

as stated above, dont bother with forti.. its not helpful, id recommend coh for this task, also poison dmg i recommended for stopping the regen, go go Upped gores over shadow dancers

[Shadan]

%Dmg to Demons on Laying of Hands doesn't work on Ubers? Open Wounds doesn't work on Ubers?

You guys have me all confused again =/

Laying of hand (or any other source of %ed to demons or undeads) don't work with kicks, not Übers.

I never saw anywhere that open wounds doesn't work on them (Übers), in fact, as soon as i putted some OW on my kicksin (by swapping shadow dancers with upped gores) i saw an immediate difference. So in my opinion, OW do work with them.
