I GIVE UP (unless you can help me...) Random advice and ARMOR help too...
Ok so I'm practically rich now that I've been MFing for days on end, but I still lack for a good PK kicker. I've read the guides, blah blah blah, but my build sucks. Here's what's what:
20 DTalon
20 TS (I rarely have time to charge but its there if I need it)
20 SM
20 Venom
prereqs
a few into MB
1 into WoI
I could get practically any gear (ladder) that I needed within reason, but here's what I use:
Leviathan
Thundergods
Storm (PDiamond)
Fleshripper (Shael)
Shako (open)
Draculs
Upped Gores
2x Ravens
Metalgrid
Most of my charms are geared towards resists and then I have a few MA charms to boost DTalon so I get 5 kicks out of it. Of course there's an anni in there too. When I'm dueling a sorc or trapper or elemental druid in Hell I switch to a 70% Kiras and GA (both are open socketed) and that covers me for 90/90/95/90 with 40% cold absorb and +20 lightning absorb. Ideally I'd use wisps for FoHers and trappers, and dwarfs + rising sun for fire druids or fire sorcs, but I can only hold so much equipment (and I have no wisps yet).
Enter the problem: I CAN'T KILL ANYONE.
My typical drill is the mind blast to dragon flight to dragon talon. During true 1v1's I'll use CoS and WoI but I duel only in public games so sometimes there's no time to use WoI and CoS (taking too much time in a 1v1 means you get jumped by someone else in addition to the one you already were facing) - if they help at all. And here's the specifics on the problems:
Sorcs - I usually don't have a problem with them. BUT the occassional Blizzard sorc is a real ***** and frankly, if Dragon Flight doesn't finish her off, I rarely get to finish those 5 DT kicks cause Blizz kills me immediately (with the Kiras and Ravens and GA).
Barbs - Right... Without Chaos I guess I stand no chance, but shouldn't I be able to do at least a *little* damage to these guys?? Most of them just decapitate me, but the WWers are rough too. I usually land a few kicks and can stand through 4-5 WWs unless they've got Doom, but I rarely do much damage.
Paladins - Hammerdins are impossible, let's get that outta the way. Widowmaker doesn't help, I don't care what anyone says. FOHadins are alright, no problem there. Chargers and zealots and smiters, oh my, I can't even land a kick. This is the biggest problem because most pub games are chock full of melee pallys that I believe I should be able to kill. But I can't.
Necros - No problem here. I run into the occassional enigma/bone spirit necro that's too fast for me but that's very rare.
Druids - Wind druids are rough. I have time enough to get off two or three rounds of DTalon but then I'm flat on my *** dead. Elemental druids and shapeshifters, with the exception of the very rare powerful werewolf, I can manage.
Fellow Assassins - Trappers I can handle sometimes - it depends on if they've got those 10 trap charms. If they haven't maxed everything I can take them. WW sins I can barely damage because I hardly ever land that DFlight. Other kickers usually maul me.
So what's the problem? Can you suggest better armor or weapons for me? Please help! If you have any of the stuff I need let me know and I'll meet you over in the trade forum...
