Build advice for a Trapsassin

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.games.diablo2 (More info?)

Hey guys new here so forgive me if my acronyms aren't exactly right,

Just bought LOD and I'm dyig to try out the new chars. Specifically,
the assasin character intrigues me. I am thinking of starting with an
assasin slanted towards the traps skills. Just wondering what were some
effective synergies (and equip) for this build. Please remember my
knowledge of runes is rudimentary.

Cheers,

Hawklan

Runes? I don't think you mean runes, but what you do mean, no idea.

A very powerful trapassin (Assassin specialized in the trap tree) is a
lightning trapassin.

Max Lightning Sentry, max Fire Bomb (or whatever it's called, the
first skill there, where you toss a Fire Bomb), and also put quite a lot
of points in Death Sentry. Also put enough points in Shadow Master to get
a nice durable minion. Put 1 point in Mind Blast, 1 in Cloak of Shadows,
and start playing. Put extra points in the synergies of the Lightning
traps.

Merc: Act 2 NM Holy Freeze guy.

Shop Anya in NM for pairs +3 traps and +3 shadow claws, and hope better
ones drop later on.

Very fun character to play, just try it! If you have more specific
questions while playing, fire away...

Regards,

Patrick.

Max out Sentry I say, because you're gonna need it a lot in Hell for the
CE. LIs everywhere in Hell.

All I can say is that my Trap girl is lvl 80ish and still using her first
merc, and they play together well. The three of them- char, merc and SM-
don't have many worries. That merc has got some cool gear though- at first
she used some unique I can't remember, then got a Kuko, now has a
Windforce. And a Smoke. She's happy.

But you weren't talking about a Trapper, were you? ;-) It's worth pointing
out that A2 NM mercs aren't the only useful ones in the game.

Goto my clans website, click on "Web links", then "Diablo 2".
Top link should be "Character builds"... then you can browse some
cookie-cutter builds for idea's ;¬)
