virgin sin - part 2
I've decided to build my first assassain. I posted last week and I had to leave town. So my topic kind of died.
I want to make a MA/trap hybrid. I have read 9 out of 11 guides and I think I have so much information I'm almost confused.
I feel like I have the Shadow disciplines down and will mostly get a point in each.
The traps. I plan on maxing LS. And getting DS between 10-20. That will be the way I kill with traps.
My biggest question is what to do on the MA tree. I originally thought I was going to go TS/DT. I was about sold then I saw a couple of potential issues.
----------------------
Questions
1) Which direction should I go with MA?
2) C/C or C/S. I'm currently level 20 with 10 skill points left to allocate. The only skill I have two points in is claw block. I really thought I should go for claw block as I was almost sure I was going to go dual claws. This was because a) it looks cooler b) I believe it is what an assassain should do c) the ability to block elemental attacks just seems awesome. After reading some of the guides though I'm convinced the optimium equip for a kicker is not dual claws.
3) Equipment options. Claws - got both Bartuc's and Jade. Which is one reason I tought dual claw. With the standard idea of getting a lot of CB I have on standby Guillames helm, Tiamat's shield, and Gorerides warming up in the bullpen. Not sure what armor to go for.
4) BOS or Fade. I'm not sure what direction to go for here either. I was originally favoring going with Fade. The DR on top of the resists was the best overall I thought. Now I'm not so sure. Depending on my MA weapon and killing skills that could change. I truly understand how important IAS is to a zon.
5) Tradeoffs - It seems like going for a high level in a couple of trap skills and a couple of MA skills means some things I'll have minimal or won't use.
Venom or the blade trap skills will likely be at zero. I also plan to ignore the left side of MA tree unless I decide to go for Phoenix and then I'd have minimum and max Phoenix.
Any options greatly appreciated. I think no matter what I do this character will be pretty bad ass. I just want to make sure. I'm at the point where I'm ready to start spending skill points, where I might be wasting them, depending on my final build.
