You could always make a cookie cutter build.

Notes
  • This build requires that you rush the character into Hell mode and complete all the skill quests along the way. Quests such as the Golden Bird and Lam Esen's Tome are not necessary, but are highly recommended.
  • The easiest places to look for the items necessary for this build are the Normal Act 2 Canyon and Tombs, Normal Act 2 Sewers, and Nightmare Cows.
  • Leave a small amount of stat points free in case if you need leeway to place more points in.

Equipment:
Helm: 3 socket Mask with +max damage jewels
Armor: 3 socket armor with +max damage jewels
Weapon: IMBUED ethereal Blade Talons with decent %ed
Shield: Pelta Lunata socketed with a +max jewel
Gloves: Death's Hands
Boots: Hsaru's Boots
Belt: Death's Sash
Ring: Rare ring with AR
Ring: Rare ring with AR
Amulet: Rare amulet with +stats and AR

There is nothing wrong with a few +AR grand charms, but I would suggest trying to collect as many +life large charms as possible.

Skill Placement:
9 Tiger Strike
4 Burst of Speed
7 Claw Mastery

Stat Placement:
Enough Strength to equip Blade Talons.
Enough Dexterity to equip Blade Talons.
Rest in Vitality.
None in Energy.

Strategy is quite simple, charge up and hit them.

For maximum damage jewels, +7-+9 will suffice; max is +14 and very rare. For your Blade Talons, get the repair mod if it's ethereal... And lastly, 45 dexterity is needed for max block with Pelta Lunata.

Also stock up on +12 or more to life Large Charms.

When you are ready to upgrade from Pelta try buying a Vulpine Bone shield of Deflection. Use the socket quest for two sockets and pop in two max damage jewels. Looks good on an assassin and adds some punch as well as damage to mana. Superior Light Plate is a nice armor for assassin with 41 strength req and 123-126 Defense. If you want to upgrade later you can go for 4 max damage jewels with -15 req and put them into Superior Ancient Armor. I have four sets of these currently with damage ranging from 40-31 max, 264-266 Defense and various other useful mods such as life, dex, ar, ed and resistances. Expect to pay dearly to make these though.

Pump str to 60 and use sigons gloves, belt and shoes. Put a Hel rune in the shield and put it on switch to boost your BoS with +1 before you fight.

Here's a good guide: http://users.pandora.be/solartje/site/

My build goes like this for different reasons!

2 BoS is all you need with blade tallons
1 claw mastery
rest in TS if it maxes then go to points in claw mastery

Helm: 3 socket superior crown, still need jewels
armor: 4 socket superior gothic plate, still need the jewels to finish, 1X+9 now
belt: ONLY OPTION HERE is death sash
sigons gloves and boots
rings: +2 strength with AR both
amulet +5 strength, This need improvement
weapon: 3socket superior blade tallons 3X+7 damage till i get better
shield: This in not the norm but I love this rare shield I found:

Tower Shield
20% block
30% faster block
17% FHR
11% Damage to mana
19% Enhanced Defence
With a sweet rare jewel I found:
-15% Requirements
11% Rire resistance
+2-7 Damage

Over all i do OK but im lacking on the Jewels, which is the key to all low level dueling!!

PS: I dont run up through hell I think it is kind of cheesy but to each their own.

OH, all charms are large lifers if I can but I need +strength and dex to wear some of my gear. I am always trying to improve my charm situations!!

Good luck!!

:howdy:

45 Dexterity is all you need for max block on a Pelta Lunata, which has the highest block rate you can find for a lv9... Stick with this...

And I strongly don't recommend Sigon's boots and gloves; continue with it if you'd like though.

i use sigons bc of the Mana/ar and def,, i find this helps gothic def builds greatly.

u dont have to use deaths sash.
with 75% cold res (sigons boots help that alot) and half freeze duration on one of your rings or ammy u will be able to take 2 seconds of cold length and turn it into 6 frames.. not even the length of a single attack.

anyone here with a good lvl 9 that stocks way over 2 seconds of cold?

if the character has 5+ seconds,,,,then well yeah ull need deaths, and i do carry one incase.. its never come up though
