lightning trapsin questions

[riderchick]

okay so i am making a new assassin since my old one wasn't going in the direction i wanted and i was wondering if this is a good build to follow...i think it is, but i'm not always amazing at evaluating things...so any changes that would be necessary..ect.
i'm going to max shadow master over fire blast since i almost never use fire blast...is that a good choice ?

i was also wondering if this build would make me do well throughout hell and even be good enough for ubers since my old assassin was good in norm and nm, but sucked in hell so i what would be a good approach for hell and ubers?

Unless you are rich and have infinity, you better have fire blast. You will see lots of lightning immunes in hell.

thanx alot for your imput :smiley:

[riderchick]

how much should i put into my master or should i max fire blast then put some into master

[AnimeCraze]

Master's recastable, so I wouldn't really suggest more than 1 point. Others may disagree with me though.

thanks
would it be better to go claw/claw or claw/shield ?

[whichever]

The build you listed goes all out lightning. I'd suggest maxing fireblast instead of shockweb if you don't have infinity.

Sink points into Shadow Master depending on how much of a tank your merc is. However, more than 1 point is usually not needed.

I'd suggest maxing fire blast before you enter hell.

Most people go for C/C because of the +skills. Jade Talons on switch should be good enough for the few instances where you can't avoid being hit by elemental attacks.

Another important fact about c/c is the ability to null any attack.

thanks yeah i'll max fireblast and then put points into shock web after that
i have jade talon just waiting to be the level needed
