Hi folks! I'm new here, but don't let that stop you from reading this thread. :wink3:
I love the Assassin class. I'm not really sure why, but it seems to fit my play style better than any other. Anyway, I have a level 16 Assassin right now in single player, just about ready to travel to Lut Gholein, and I've got a couple of questions. I've sort of got a build in mind, but for those of you more experienced, I'd like some of your opinions on it.
So, here's the bare bones build I'm trying out. I'll further explain the situation after. And yeah, I'm not looking for an 'uber' build, or power build.
20 in Tiger Strike
05 in Dragon Claw
18 in Shadow Master
05 in Claw Mastery
01 in Burst of Speed
05 (or so) in Prereqs for SM
For a total of 54 skill points in Normal, assuming I get to level 50.
That's my game plan anyway. I figure I'll make it through Normal, but I doubt I'll go much farther than that. I don't really have the time or patience to keep playing the game in the higher levels.
So is this viable? I'm sticking to single player, and I'm not going on with magic finding runs or anything like that. Whatever gear I find, I find. I leave it up to the game. (If I find a good piece of equipment with magic find in it, I'll use it. But it's not a necessity.)
I'm not trying to challenge myself or anything. I'm not purposely making a 'bad' build or something. My main goal here is simplicity. I tire of switching skills over and over. I want one good Charge Up skill I can rely on, and one good Finisher to add to it. Besides casting on Speed, and having my merc and SM tag along, that's all I really want.
No traps if at all possible. I'll let the SM mess with those. I just want to walk (run, really) to a monster, beat the hell out of it, and continue on, while my Rogue merc provides range support with her cold arrow (and other enhancements on her bow). So am I totally off here, or am I on to something?
