I would suggest reading some of the guides in the Assassin builds/guides sticky, and see what sticks out as interesting to you. I myself would recommend a furysin or a pure martial arts assassin. To me they are more entertaining than trappers, but that's just my opinion. Good Luck.

Go with an All Shadow skills Assasain.

It realy makes you use some strategy as opposed to laying traps while tanks do there thing.

How the hell do you play that in PvP? PvM I can see... I think...

Furysin/Ninja is fun, but it's PURE PvM. MArts is hard to play in PvP and MvP due to charge ups (just charge on a fallen one that keeps ressing in Blood Moor)

I'm pretty sure he did not specify whether it was PvP or PvM so I recommended some good PvM builds.

I still like the teacher build, you are the teacher and your shadow warrior is the student. You can teach your shadow to hit, up to what was it 10K fireblasts, and 15000 lightning sentries etc.

There are 2 real teacher builds the shadow trapper and the shadow martial artist.

I forget which thread I put the calculations on how to make a teacher but they are a really tough and challenging build if you have the equipment for it. thats 20 skill charms and a full swap of equipment to get the massive damages.

Now I'm interested. Where can I read more about this build?

Here is my break down for the trapper variant. The martial arts variant hasn't been worked out AFAIK

Howdy! :D

I'm kind of a noob here at the Assassin forum, but I DO have a suggestion you might try. It's definitely PvM (me not having great skill or inclination with PvP), so if that's not your thing, just skip this post:

Mentalist (Haven't come up with a better name, sorry.)

Main attacks: Psychic Hammer and Mind Blast
Enablers: Cloak of Shadows, Venom
Backup Enabler: Fade

No twinking, live off the land (no buying weapons/armor in town), no shadows.

I am currently working with this build in Hardcore. Granted, I'm testing her SP, and if you decide to test your character in HC mode as well, I would recommend that route rather highly--lest lag take her before her time. Tenatively, I have not allowed my girl any traps, though I might, at some point--it's doubtful, though.

Whatever you decide to do, good luck.

Has it been tested yet? The only problem I can see is the A.I. of the slow and dumb Shadow and if it decides to get itself killed, that is alot a pre-buff to go back through. And my experience with the shadow is it never really casts or attacks, just runs around, but it could be different with spamming skills like FB and SW. Nice number crunching though. :thumbsup:

No real experience with Warriors, but Masters are dumb as anything until you get them to high levels (i.e. 17+). You don't have the control on them, but they definitely increase attack frequency as you level them up.

Having worked with Shadow Warriors a lot, I'd be flabbergasted if the numbers weren't 100x more impressive than the performance...for the same reasons you give: they're stupid and they're slow. The Warrior always has normal attack as an option too, and just about the only way to get it to spam a ranged skill constantly is to lead it in such a way that a barrier is between it and its targets.

Hmm, that makes me think Marrowwalks might be an interesting idea. But in any case, there's no way it's any kind of uber build.
