I'm learning :) The hard way I'd say. That Paladin was my first real effort to play through the harder difficulties, so I really didn't have a clue as to what I was doing. I also suspect he died with astonishing frequency, but it's been so long, I barely remember. My Assassin is doing a bit better, but now at 65, I've got 8 skill points sitting around, and I'm not sure where to put them. She was my first, so I put points into a lot of stuff I don't use now, though no traps, since I knew I wanted to do martial arts. One sec, lemme pull her up...
Looks like 1 point into each skill in the MA tree, 20 Phoenix Strike. 1 point into each SD skill except Mind Blast, 20 Claw Mastery, 5 Weapon Block, 5 Burst of Speed. Dunno where to dump the others.
She can do players 8 Nightmare Act 5 with pretty impressive speed (to me anyway ;)), but Hell is rough (without players anything for that matter). Many bosses and their packs, I simply avoid - is that normal for most? I couldn't kill the Countess come to think of it, I just skipped that quest. Right now I'm just pushing as far as she can go, though I doubt she'll do any better in act 4 than my ill fated Paladin did.
