View Full Version : Untwinked Melee Assassins

Hokay, so after a long hiatus, a friend and I decided to give untwinked HC a run.
I figured that since I never really played any assassins other than a pure trapper, this would be a perfect chance to do something new.

Well I've checked a whole bunch of sin guides and I've come down to a couple builds and their variants. I needs you guyz to help me pick since I have very little experience with any melee characters in HC in general.

I guess I'll sort this from IMO most viable, even though I'll probably get that wrong:

Dtalon (couple of variants since it core takes so little points, I guess one could pair it with traps, or even more unique with blade fury/venom)

ts/dt (I've seen mixed reviews of this since there are so many fire immunes in hell.. will this work? I'm guessing traps again after core build, but reading the guide says phoenix strike + synergy works?)

Dclaw (seems very weak. don't think I'm going to use this at all unless someone here suggests something great)

Basically every one of these has to be supported but I'm not sure what would work best; one point in DS and then pumping fade/SM or basically full out DS/LS. I'm also interested in blade fury if that's an option.

Any input would be appreciated and new ideas altogether will be taken into consideration.
Thanks in advance!

I dont know how effective it can be Un-Twinkled but a Blade Fury / Death Sentry / Kicker hybrid is fun and very effective in hell . Even if you can find some minor uniques it can work . Like some Goblin toes (upped) once ya get the roons and a black flail , or any veryfast Ethereal weapon with some elemental damage on it can work .

If I was making one Id max the skills
Death Sentry
Venom
Shadow Master
Dragon Talon - multiple of 6 so 18 or 24 ..
1 point Blade Fury - the best one point wonder for Sins ...
maybe Fade with the rest of the points

What he said.:crazyeyes:

Add a point in CoS and a couple in MB and you are done.
