the easiest way of making a succesful trappasin

hello everyone!

i thought id share my easy build, since i have been using it since 1.09, and never had regrets.

the assasin can do arcane runs in hell easy,and ancient tunnels are also no problem. in fact, most of hell can be done solo,if you are a bit fast and have some decent gear. and with decent gear i mean decent, not expensive.a trappasin can be really cheap, and yet very good!

skills:

the skills are really easy to subsribe, since they are all in the same tree,and all have synergy with eachother.

lvl 1-12: just get points even between firebomb and shockweb. no problem ey?;)

lvl12-24 charged bolt sentry and shock web. split skillpoints between them un till you can do lightning sentry.

24-30 all in lightning sentry.

30-60 max lightning sentry,and split rest between death sentry and shockweb.

60+ ok, the main reason why trappasins fail in lightning immume areas is because firebomb is to weak. so from lvl 60, remember to max out firebomb.
firebomb gives synergy to lightning sentry, so no worries, ur lighting dmg will be fine.
after that, max out death sentry. then its just simply the rest in charged bolt sentry, and shock web.
easy huh?

stats:
as far for the stats, here they are
strength: should be at least 156, for a monarch.
dex: nn to lvl.
mana:should have like 130 points, so you have enough mana base.without mana, ur trappasin is very weak.
vitality:rest. unless you want some specific gear,(put the remaing you need in strength then) the rest should be in life.as a trappasin, your life is important,when running solo certainly.you should be able to survive a good hit.

gear:

now we have come to the equipment part. easy and cheap!

weapons:2 3 to trap claws. should go around pul.
when youre not to fast, go for 1 3 to trap claw and a spirit shield.

armour:i suggest something with big defence,since assasins arent known for there great natural defence. gladiatorsbane would be a nice option for example. for a certain mana base,socket a perf skull in it.

helm: death horn cirlet it is a 2 to assa skills circlet with 13 to all res. not very expensive, but very important.

belt:now we have come to the only real expensive thing....thats right, arach.
a assasin can use the fcr,and the 1 to all skills is a very nice bonus for a belt.
if you cant get one,try find a decent defense belt. but i strongly recommend a arach.

amu: a 3 to trap amu. shouldnt be to hard to get.

rings: something with a nice fcr, or mana regeneration.
if your really low on runes, a manald isnt to bad.

gloves: not really a specific pair needed for assa, i suggest bloodfist for a good life base :)

other:

charms: mostly resistance charms, and 1 or 2 fhr.(faster hit recovery)
fhr is very important,so you can get away quickly. because the last thing you need with a trappasin, is a melee combat.


afterword:

i know this isnt a perfected guide, or the ultimate assasin.
though this build is easy to follow, and a great beginners char.
there are more expensive(better?) stuff to get for a trappasin, but i tried to keep it cheap and easy:) and with the stuff i recommended, you are quite fine.

no copycats please.
tips and suggestions on this guide are always welcome ofcourse.

thank you for reading, and enjoy playing with this build, as i did:)
