This is a guide to how I made my melee assassin. It turned out great, although I got a weapon 99.99999% of you do not have. You will still do some massive ammounts of damage though. Lets Get started. You can technicly finish this build at level 91.

Skills

Max The Following :
Claw Mastery (Helps Claw damage)
Tiger Strike (Main Attack)
Dragon Tail (Finishing Attack)
Burst Of Speed (Makes faster attack)
Venom (More Damage)


Stats

Str : 100 (Base str required)
Dex : Rest (Needed for more AR and damage)
Vit : 200 (Life?)
Energy : Base (You dont need energy :S)

Items

Weapons

Ethereal Zod Bugged Bartucs (Gul Rune)(Main Weapon) :

This is the weapon everyone wants, but nobody has. Just use some regular tucs ,or try to find some rare claw with awsome stats on it. It doesnt matter at what class the claw is, because you can upgrade it, ladder or not. You want the Gul rune for the extra Attack Rating.

1 Fal Rune + 1 Um Rune + 1 Perfect Sapphire + Exceptional Rare Weapon = Elite Rare Weapon
1 Ko Rune + 1 Pul Rune + 1 Perfect Amethyst + Exceptional Rare Armor = Elite Rare Armor
Call To Arms (Secondary Weapon):

Battle Orders and Battle Command.

Shilds

StormShild (Um)(Main Shild):

Lots of damage reduce, resistance, and it adds some strenght, great shild.

Lidless (Secondary Shild) :

One more skill level for Battle Command and Battle Orders.

Armors

Enigma (Main Armor) :

Enigma adds alot of strenght, skill levels (accually required for this build),tele,life, damage reduce, everything nice except it doesnt have resistance, which is why we got the next armor.

Chains of Honor (Secondary Armor) :

You need this armor for when you need resistance, that is all.

Helmet

Shako (15 Res All jewel with 2nd Mod or UM) :

2 Skill levels, life, mana, damage reduce, and a few stats, pretty good helmet for every class.

Belt

Thunder Gods :

This belt has alot of strenght and vitality, very good for a melee build. It also has some other great stats that i wont talk about.

Gloves

Dracules :

For the moment, i got dracules gloves. My "dream" gloves is some rare gloves with +2 skills to martial arts, some dex, then some critical strike or open wounds or something.

Boots

Sandstorm Trek :

Hit recovery, strenght, vit, and some high kick damage.

Rings

Raven Frost :

Cannot be frozen, dex, attack rating, all round great ring, i would use two of them if i didnt need resistance.

Corruption Grip :

This is a rare duped ring on useast with attack rating, resistance, and some other stats. Try to get one like it, or just throw on another raven.

Amulent

Atma's :

Most people would think because of amp damage, although that is good, the attack rating is my only reason for using it. Maybe if i could find a really nice +2skiller ammy with alot of dex and strenght, and some resistance, i would switch.

Charms

10*Martial Art Skillers (Each one of these charms bring up your damage by 1000)
Anni
9*3/20/20

What does this bring you to? Well my assassin, that is only level 78 and doesnt have all of its skiller charms (missing 3) does 35k damage with over 2k life. Ill be adding in all the pictures after, probally friday because im going to my grandma's soon , and for a few days. Ill edit this out after.

What a great way to say hey, I'm a huge newbie, read my guide. 10 extra points for putting it up top.

I can't wait to see if your boys lay into you like they did me, and what you have to say about it when they do.

On a serious note, thanks for posting when you did, it really makes it easy to stick it to the dumbasses around here.

Shadow Dancer are already elite boots, you can't upgrade them. ;)

And the choice between upg Gore and SD is a pure "taste of the player"; if you like the mods on gore (crushing blow, deadly strike and open wounds), use them; if you love having more dexterity, fhr and +2 skills (and the same kick damage of upg gore - Myrmidon greaves give to a kickerSin the max kick damage possible), use shadow dancer. :)

Laz, just cool it. You are in a bad spot already, so just STFU and stop tying to flame and criticize EVERYONE.

On another note, where's the "how to play" or alternate gear section?

Well, how do you think your gonna play? there are no real stratigies to a melee asn, hit them 3 times to get charges, then use finishing move. If your against a person who tele's, tele towards them :S Ill post a alt gear section after.

OT: yes, he is Ebay. God.

And it'll probably raise the fire damage of DT, but it won't be much, if anything.

yes venom does stack, fade does not. For a merc i guess you would use a Might merc from nm act 2 offencive (i think). Your wost wanted would be eth ghost spear botd for a weapon, but any spike will really do....merc gear doesnt really matter, just try to get some +skills. There is a pike with +4 skills no?

Yes, it's Ariocs needle, but it does shit damage. Also, in 1.10 (or the new ladder), I noticed that might mercs don't add as much damage as they did before.

Before, 20 levels on your merc would add at LEAST 800+ damage.

With my zon (~300 dex + WF @ lvl 73), he only adds 300 damage, and I leveled him about 23 times. Come on, 300 ****ing damage?!

I love how every kiddie that gets called a newbie yells "DUEL!".

Its pretty simple man, you um'd a shield. That by definition makes you dense.
