Assassin Skills

[Shadow Assassin]

Before I begin Id like to first state that I know there are guides for this sort of thing. However, Id like some input from other players who have tried different approaches to this character or have some good advice to offer.

So what is your advice? Some say traps suck. Some like them for cows and large groups. If so, which ones do you favor? Any of them ever save your butt in hell against a boss? Are they any that work well against the higher level monsters in hell? If so which?

Also what 2 martial arts should I invest in for hell play? Why did you choose the skills you chose? One person told me Tiger Strike, but I know that magic or elemental damage are more effective in hell.

traps do suck; very little damage in hell/hell cows, i use Lightning Sentry, it helps a little but is still quite sh|t. I dont use Death Sentry cos i heard LS is better.
Tiger Strike should be maxed, cos it's where most of ur damage will come from; the charge ups at least. how u unleash the damage will vary in which skill u use: theres Dragon Claw, Dragon Tail, Dragon Flight, i think thats it.
Im not too sure but i heard Kicking does more damage.
In hell monsters have more life, can regenerate life too, more damage u dish out, quicker u kill, less life u lose.
Personally i wouldnt specialise in magic/elemental skills for assassin. Thats just my opinion, i haven't tried an elemental assn.

death sentry is best for cows it has corpse explosion 1 point in this skill is fine... its like a necro corpse exploding it owns
just follow ppl arround and cast it.. or kill a cow cast it and let it do the work

Thats good advice TwistedRat. What do you recomend for a sass built for hell boss runs? You know like Mephisto, Diablo, Baal...

This may not sound like a very good tactic but works for me. If it still allows u to use 2 charges (which it should i havent used my assas in a while) then put a couple into cobra strike and a lot into tiger strike. Charge up and hack away. U may need a few light sentrys for added dmg. Also use a shadow.
