PostPosted: Sat Jul 31, 2004 12:17 am    Post subject:  GODZ_llds lvl 9 Assassin Guide  

I've been a foolish and selfish boy, please forgive me and I put it back up. (Sorry again dely and bel, can I still be a hero?)

I'll start with the most generic and probably, effective lvl 9,
The lvl 9 tiger strike assassin build.

The basics of a lvl 1 assassins statistics are
20 to strength
20 to dexterity
20 to vitality
25 to energy

They start out with:
50 to life
25 to mana

For every lvl the assassin attains they gain:
2 to life
1.5 to mana

For every statistic point the assassin attains they gain:
1 point of vitality = 3 to life
1 point of energy = 1.5 to mana

First off this char would not need a hell rush, but would most likely want one.
Why?:
becuase in norm, nm, and hell you will get 12 more combined skill quests
becuase in norm, nm, and hell you will get 60 more life from the first quest in act 3
becuase in norm, nm, and hell you will get 15 more stats from the fourth quest in act 3.

Now, even though people say rushing a lvl 1 past any difficulty can't be done, they are very ignorant to the sneaky ways people find. To get your character past a difficulty all you have to do is:
1. Be in act 5 and partied with someone who needs the baal quest and is willing to do the quest to proceed to the next difficulty.
2. Have the person in your team, or another, kill baal so they get the quest.
3. Check your quest log, exit game, and recieve your title of *slayer, champion, or Matriarch/Patriarch.

For the den of evil quest you will need to kill atleast one monster, so have a sorc enchant you, pick an appropriate character, have the sorc static and lower the life as much as they can, and have you attack the monster.
For act 2 to get the skill book from radament, all you simply have to do is be in the same area as the rusher(raddy area) and have them kill Radament.

so after you are rushed and have gotten all of your quests done your character at lvl 1 will have
12 skills to use
15 stats to use
110 life
25 mana

now. the assassin will be lvl 9 so that would give her 24 hit points and 12 to mana, also giving her 40 to statistics

so the assassin without any skills or statistics points used at lvl 9will have
20 skills
55 stats
137 life
37 mana

that covers up all the character screen stuff

this is a starter build so i will post basic stuff and some other options:
for this character you would probably want to start off with light/medium weight gear for most stat points saving, leaving you with more stat points to put into vitality.

for gear:
3 socket mask- socketed with 3x max dmg jewels
3 socket breast plate- socketed with 3x max dmg jewels
3 socket blade talon- socketed with 3x max dmg jewels, or with 1x hel rune, and 2x max dmg jewels
(blade talons have base requirements of 50 str, and 50 dex. to make that on stat points alone you would need 60 stats from the assassin base 20/20 str/dex., but with a hel rune the base requirement would be 40str, and 40 dx. making it only 40 stats req from the base str/dex.)
Blood fists
Hsarus boots
Nagel rings- 2 of them, 70+ ar preferably, or if you can find. life/mana/str or dex/ar rare rings, (these are hard to find)
Magical ammulet- 5 strength or dex., or some rare with nice str or dex, ar, mana, life, along those lines.
Deaths belt- cannot be frozen is probably a must on this char, unless there is no cold on your opponent, then you could use hsarus belt to pair up with hsarus boots and give you a boost of 90 ar and 20 life.
Shield- Pelta Lunata is a good starter shield with 1x max dmg jewel.


All of the rares that i will take a bit of time to find. they are all hard to find, being rare.

charms:
To hit the 5 faster hit recover frame(48% fhr)for a basic lvl 9 assassin the you will need atleast 48 fhr(duh), with bloodfists(30%) the best basic charm without waisting too much space would be 2x 12fhr gc. leaving you 34 spaces left in your inventory
you ill probably want to put a 1 to dex, or 1 to str sc above that.
the rest you would want to fill up with life large charms

so here's your charms
2x 12 fhr gc
2x str(i'll just say str for the heck of it) sc
16x life lc's.
(ranging in life on lcs, i'll say lowest is 6 to life, so 16x 6 life lc's would give you 96 life. the highest life you can get on a lvl 9 lc is 15. so 16x 15 life lc's would give you 240 life)

the equip:
this is your basic equip
27 max dmg mask-25 str req.
27 max dmg breast plate-30 str req
32 max dmg blade talon-40 str req, 40 dex req.
Bloodfists
Hsarus boots
Deaths belt.
2x nagel rings
1x 5 str ammy

that build gives you
7 str points.
stats before placing for gear
27str
20dex
20vita
25energy

so for that build, your finished stats would be

40 to str
45 to dexterity
20 to vita
25 to energy.

you used
13 points into str
20 points into dex

38 stats used leaving you 17 stat points to put into vitality.
17 stats x 3 hp point per vita stat=51 life

so your final stat placement would give you
40str
45dex
37vita
20energy

in the end you will have
75% chance to block vs. an opponent.
51 life from vita+range of 96-240 life from charms+137 from base health potion quests and lvl bonus=
range of 284 life to 428 life
37 mana

for skills placement:

burst of speed
9 Tiger Strike
9 Claw Mastery
2 Burst of Speed

I will not go into more detail on the more expensive and godly lvl 9 sins because some people may have that build or style and not want that exposed. I really hope this helps some people, otherise it's cool, cuase i like sharing knowledge and helping people out.

thank you's go the the sites that i have looked up to get information for this character:

for the fhr/fbr/fcr tables(to find this from main page, the site given, you click the first link under miscellanious, on the left. It's called fxr tables-
http://www.namelezz.planetsmilies.com/index.html

for the ias tables(special thanx to voodoocamel's link, also: if the site doesn't show up, just check voodoocamels links in the memberlist and click on diablo2 links, then the ias table one)-

This is only a basic guide to get people on their way, so therefore he can't really tell you. Actually I don't think he has a lvl 9 asn other than those test chars Confused

i could have sworn 10ias and bloddfists achieved 7 frames.. however


the german calc (as well as SP ingame testing) have shown that 10ias and BoS 7 is needed to hit 7 frame swips

u must have 20ias (bloodfists + 10ias claws) and BOS 4 to achieve a 7 frame tiger strike attack.

30ias with bos 2
40ias wit bos 1


sometimes i feel like this info keeps changing, but i just did a SP test and came to these conclusions

yes, blade talon. its what the majority of VLLD ts sins use, as it is the fastest of the low claws. for other weapon ias, check out this link.

yea, i saw it, and couldnt believe it myself, I've always thought 10 ias from bloodfist is enough with lvl 4 bos, but apparently not. I think the table at Diabloii.net is so wrong.

3 BoS is enough for a blade talon if you use bloodfists. and i beleive its 2 BoS if you use deaths.

so if you don't have 10ias on your claws, going 4bos is pointless?
if you have sigon's on switch for a prebuff and no ias on your claw, can you hit the 7 frame attack?
(this is all while using bloodfists, btw.)

if 48%fhr is the bp, and bloodfists give 30%, why use 2 x 12%fhr gc?

u need only 18% from gc

isnt it better to hav 1 x 12%fhr GC + 1 x 8% LC?

Wow, you bumped this right up.
The answer is that the lcs have a higher lvl req and cant be used.
