Having never played an assn before, I decided to throw one together the other day. I looed over her skills and decided I would build an assasin built for doing massive physical damage using the skills claw mastery, Dragon Claw, and Tiger Strike, as well as Burst of Speed.
Now I hope I'm not making a big mistake by using these skills, but it seems to me that these are some awfully powerful attack skills. Think about it.....
By level 6, you could have this setup. (Den of Evil completed)
Claw Mastery @ slvl 2 AR + 50%
DMG + 43%
Dragon Claw @ slvl 1 DMG and AR+ 50%
Tiger Strike @ slvl 1 DMG + 300%
AR + 50
(also 1 point in Burst of speed and 1 in Dragon Talon as a prereq)
This gives a total of 393% enhanced damage and 150% attack rating @ clvl 6!!!!
Add to this 21% IAS and 23% FRW from BoS and you've got a massive damage dealing, hyper fast god, who almost never misses a swing and can kill almost any boss in act one in just a couple hits(using a plain katar and a magic one with +1 to max damage)
Also, she has other skills for crowd control, as I've seen assins using many different trap skills and mopping up mobs of monsters, not to mention while they are safely 3 screens away.
Add to this the fact that they get 3 HP per VITA point.
They also have a skill for resistance, so this can't be their weakness.
What are we missing? Oh yeah, summons. What's that? You say she has summons? And they can use her skills!!!!!!!!
She can also convert monsters sorta like a pally, or at least stun them.
Her more useful version of teleinesis does damage to boot!
You have an auto targeting skill for PvP that adds Massively massive damage.
What do you get?
You get the crowd control of a sorceress, the speed of a werewolf, the speed and hitpoints of a zealot, and the damage porential of a barbarian. You get a summon that, as far as I can tell, is as good as valkyrie or any golem.
Where are her weaknesses?
Why do so few people play this class? (by my observtion)
Or am I just missing something?
