    Guardian #2 The naked assasin: Nuts

    Morathi started the We love to be naked Tournament at 15 april and I joined this tournament at 16 april.

    I did full clear, use of charms and varying psettings. roughly this was p setting:
    normal:8
    nightmare: mostly 7 or 8 I think
    hell 1&2: mostly 5 I think
    hel3: 3
    hell4,5: 1

    The whole story of Nuts how she went through the anxious world of diablo can be read in that thread, I entered hell difficulty at page23.
    Playing this char made me especially realise how strong a skill as Mind Blast is.

    I ended up with these skills
    Shadow master: 20
    Mind Blast: 20
    Death Sentry: 20
    Fade: 20
    Cloak of Shadows: 3
    Fire Blast: 3 (synergy for Death Sentry)
    Lightning Sentry: 2 (Synergy for Death Sentry)
    Burst of Speed: 1
    Psychic Hammer: 1

    And prerequisites

    Other important stats with Fade (64%):
    -1649 life
    -47 fire resist
    -25 cold resist
    -15 lightning resist
    -55 poison resist
    -20% DR

    Here is the list of charms I used:

    Here is a screenie of his stats, while Venom and Fade are Might are on:
    screenie

    The succes of this naked assassin is the following:

    Defensive:
    -2 meat shields (merc and shadow)
    -Fade
    -Mind Blast
    -CoS
    -Psychic Hammer

    Offensive:
    -Physical: Might Merc, Might Shadow, Mind Blast, Death Sentries, converted monsters with might aura
    -Lightning: Death Sentries
    -Fire: Death Sentries
    -Poison: Venom from merc, Venom from Shadow
    -Various: All kind of attacks from shadow
    -Various: Open wounds from Bone Flesh at merc.
    -Various: Converted monsters by Mind Blast

    I would like to thank Morathi (if he is still around) for organising this tournament.
    And I would like to thank Insane Wayne for the great inspiration I got from reading his posts, I would also like to wish him best luck with his Druid, Especially versus Baal, who's cold attack will really hurt and the Oak will die very often.

    edit: bleh, you cannot edit typo's in thread title, it should be assassin.

    edit2: Oops forgot about future plans for her.
    -Well, I don't think she will make the best pvp'er: she does have a nice life pool, but damage seems a bit too low for pvp and especially at HC this might not be the best plan with her
    -I could also try to go for lvl 99, but seeing that it took me like the whole afternoon to reach baal and kill him at p1, killing him at p8 might just take a little bit too long to seriously attempt lvl 99.
    -MFing, you can't get yourself very much MF when you're naked, so, not a good idea.
    -Bragging: ah I'll use her for this

    I already congratulated you with this achievement in the tourney thread, but I think it deserves another gratz here. And another post++ won't hurt either...

    Also good job on the merc equip, especially since the rules said 'single pass'.

    Great congrats on Guardian .

    I’d like to finish this tourney as well, but with my pally I’m afraid it is quite impossible for me, killing act bosses really hurt. For example when I was killing normal Diablo, I realized how much I lack the belt. What was the most uncomfortable in your case?

    *speachless*:shocked:

    I have been planning to do this kind of challenge myself, also with a sin. But now I realize that I have been too much offensive orientated, and she would die most probably die too easily. Thanks a lot for this thread and GRATS!!!rop:

    Congrats Easy! I'm hoping I can make it through Hell, but not sure I will with all my resists around -50. Good work!

    Good luck with your pally. With a paladin will be very very difficult I guess. The biggst problems I had was mana in nightmare difficulty. Mindblast and Death sentry really use a lot of mana. Especially with extra fast groups this was problematic. This problem was solved by leveling, from somewhere around 100 mana started to feel comfortable.
    Problems in hell were champion packs, since they cannot be converted or blinded with CoS and OK's in WSK, since they cannot be converted or blinded aswel. Normal OK's can be stunned with Mind blast luckily.

    Good luck with your challenge! You can go more offensively maxing out lightning sentry and maybe some of the synergies and put Fade at lvl 10 or something and mind Blast somewhere at lvl 5 and leave CoS and fire blast at 1 and maybe shadow at 17. The problem with this is that the duration of CoS and Mindblast will be short and your sentries will also be very mana intensive.
    With other words, you'll be really low on mana all the time, especially since you don't have a belt. A solution is to put points in energy, but this will mean you'll be low on your life pool.
    I had a situation in the great marsh, where I only had 79 life left and very often around 200-300 points left, so those points in vitality can be just those important points to survive.
