Hello!
I playing D2 since 1.07, and I love to play Assassin!
But there always be a lack of good weapons for her, she must to use claws but I’ve almost never used it. Especially dual. It was swords, clubs, daggers but never claws. And ofc shield that looks weird - assassin with a huge tower shield!
My suggestion is to change Assa skills by add daggers weapon class to it. Fist of fire, Claws of Thunder, Blades of Ice, Dragon Claw, Weapon Block and ofc Claw (and dagger) mastery - all of it will be nice with daggers without balance and lore breaking.
Yes this I agree with 100% assassin fantasy is dual claw since I saw this I always wanted to use her in attacking enemies, but guess what no viable melee builds for that.
I love dragon talon assassin and I end up using flail on her. Why there is not good claw with ias crushing blow and such other effect that increases kick efficiency?
You could always get a 3 socket claw and add BER,Shael & other rune on your on-hand slot this would give you 20% CB 20% ias and with Gull face and goreriders you have alot of CB.
or better watch this streamer do ubers with crushing blow
Topic is not about late game or CB. I’m talking about available weapons in general. No other class get such limits in skills, even Amazon. And daggers looks good for assassin.
Assassin is able to do all aspects of the game, just like the other types, you just need to see what works for what type of action you require, yes some toons are better at certain goals, but this is how the game is made, so you can experiment with builds, i made a uber druid just for the fun, he struggles but finding the gear and leveling a druid up is what this game is for
Really now? Socking a figging BER to get half ass weapon with CB when I can craft black, or get fleshripper for pgems? I can just sock Bartuc with Ber and get way better weapon than your suggestion!
Are you trolling?
They need to give us good claw for melee specs. One that kicksin can use. Preferably as good as stormlash.
No im not trolling, just suggesting what you can do with a 3 socket claw
watch the video i posted, best slot in game is a grief for any melee toon
Strength runeword is a good 2 sock claw item, stick Chaos in the other and you got a whirlwining assasin but i would go grief phase myself for the other attributes
That’s exactly what I want to say! If your goal is to be the best at 99 lvl - good for you. I’m talking about other (I think 90%) players like me, that’s never archived even 90 lvl, never held a ber rune etc. It’s not about survival improvement, it’s about “the game”.
Lvl 90 is easy to get to within a few days doing baal/diablo runs, but you don’t need to be a high level toon to play the game, I did my first ubers at around 70 or somewhere like that. This is a loot based game where if you put in the grind the items will drop for you
