Assassins are so fun. I did one for launch. Lightning Sentry and those grenades just shreds everything solo, you don't even need any gear. BOS is the best skill for early grind. Uber all you have to pick up DT find a Fleshripper and some Dracs. Traps are even top 3 fastest solo cows, main an assassin and solo clear everything so much faster, get to see much more runes. Only issue is even whale builds suffer huge nerfs in players 8.
Nice hybrid idea, i feel like a hammerdin or fohdin with one point into smite and fanataticism would be a little cheaper. You would need exile and grief versus last wish
Yes it does. They are both going off and on unfortunately. I guess a better option would be a flashripper or a ber'd phase blade. Also, when fade gets proced that is not helpful either.
Hey great video though im not that far into the game yet, just bought it on sale for my switch. How would you recommend leveling just going through the regular campaign? I decided to make a barbarian, how is that in the late game? Can it solo stuff etc? Keep it up, i subbed to you :)
Nice! Thank you. Playing through the game on a melee character is rough and slow. Most people will play through on a caster char. Ive played through the game on Sorc and Assassin. There are a lot of good assassin play through guides and it’s probably the easiest play-through. Barb can be good late game, but you need to get there! It’s a hard game and a long journey.
Barbs are very hard to level and harder to gear, however, on late game they can dish serious damage. It depends on the build you want to use: Frenzy barb (dual wield), Berserk (2-hand) or singers (warcries). Most people relies on Find Item to gear their barbs. Good luck and enjoy the game. Even for modern standards, Diablo II: Resurrected is a good game.
You could. The idea of last wish was for the crushing blow. But the curse procs in the setup kinda conflict with each other here. You want amp dmg to proc, and then CB will be fully effective. But lower res was going off too often which slowed things down. Because of the 1 point invested in kick, the base dmg is super low which is why the end of each boss took forever. A better setup would be full kicksin with nearly 100% CB, gface and maybe death or kingslayer.
Nice video im sure most players probably were aware of K/T sins as its quite standard to have Dragon Talon(make sure its always in even numbers 6-12-18-24 to get better breakpoints) and a gear swap if you want to do Ubers. Also not sure if i heard it in the stat/skill section but you absolutely want to be lvl90 or around there because even with good AR youd miss shit ton on the uber bosses. You can also keep Crescent Moon in your cube for Diablo/Baal when youre in ur trapsin gear(this really depends on if you leave some kicksin gear mixed in with other stuff or u just go for higher dmg/mf) and kick them so u kill them faster aswell.
DT having no prereqs and no synergies make it really easy to pump the extra points into it. Makes for a nice hybrid character that can be a full trapsin on one run, and a full uber killer on another with gear swap. Thanks for the tip on even numbers. I Believe at the time, DT was level 36 and had the 7 kick breakpoint. Level 90 or 91 I think and I used the blessed aim merc for more attack rating. But yes, the kicks missed a lot! Heavy on the pots but no worries there. This was the first time doing it, but I could have used traps to supplement. I also forgot to prebuff with demon limb. Anyway, it's a nice char build because you don't have to respec when wanting to uber.
Yea especially on switch at 30fps and 1080p it’s not going to be the best. I hear it’s really nice on PS5. But I still like playing on console/switch better.
@@kristopherleslie8343 don't think I could either dude. I could probably get used from controller play, but don't want to if I don't have to. Portable play is admittedly very appealing, but I play on a laptop on the couch 99% of the time, and it's a pretty damn great experience. Is better at a desk, but then I can't hang out with bae unless I make her chill in the office.
Well done, but I think you need more dex than life, because you must reach 75 % of block, and may be 1 point in to fade, activate the fade before fight.
@@kristopherleslie8343 Fade did go off a few times from Last wish. I didn't redo Burst of speed. It was OK. Not trying to break any speed records here.
@@smalps-gaming enigma is expensive until it’s not lol if your playing single player maybe it isn’t that expensive other than your time in Lower Kurast. On Multiplayer after week 2 it’s not really expensive.
Or course also enigma wasn’t needed :) but I know your trying to buff the stats as much as you can so you can keep the vitality on high. Good job on everything
@@kristopherleslie8343 Yea not needed, but nice to have. My merc was also using infinity, and COH. few more bers there. But these are like "standard" equipment now.
@@smalps-gaming only requirement is having at least the Fire Sunder Charm. Haven’t done testing extensively. In theory it could be expensive because there are many ways to run it. Pretty much play it like dragons talon and speed is a key factor. It gives you “coned” stun and crowd control like a shockwave but not as far. Damage is 100k plus. In a burst mode I’ve gotten 700-800k damage. Theoretically a team could boost the damage over 1 million but it would take a lot of planning and coordination but it would be more meme.
Deserves more views!! Not enough alternatives to using a smiter

I agree! Character is very strong all around and can do it all. And the play-through is also fun and safe. It’s a great starter character to make.
Nice hybrid idea, i feel like a hammerdin or fohdin with one point into smite and fanataticism would be a little cheaper. You would need exile and grief versus last wish
For sure those are cheaper options. And better haha
Doesn't the life tap proc from Last Wish overwrite the amp dmg proc from Atma and vice versa?
Yes it does. They are both going off and on unfortunately. I guess a better option would be a flashripper or a ber'd phase blade. Also, when fade gets proced that is not helpful either.

Is there a budget version of this build? Really like the trapsin play style but kick looks dope. Been wanting to do Ubers soon
The budget version of this now is just the mosaic. Will be able to do p8 with a couple of mid runes.
Think you could do the kicksin gear with grief dracs and gface?
You could. The idea of last wish was for the crushing blow. But the curse procs in the setup kinda conflict with each other here. You want amp dmg to proc, and then CB will be fully effective.

@@wtbskilllololo PMH for Ubers? That doesn't apply.
@@smalps-gaming Oh?Well either way i didnt have Open wounds aswell so it was horrible either way haha.
@@wtbskilllololo Haha yea! Open Wounds is pretty key for ubers.
U need 3/20/20 scs too boost martial dmg, i got 9 paw gfx for 20k fg each if u need
I don’t use JSP but thank you. Only the attack rating matter right?
Can this do p8 in all areas?
It can now in the new update. Check updated videos for patch 2.6 updated build.
Good stuff man the games so clunky on console feels bad man.

can u do a video on trading or how u got ur stuff?
Yea sure! I use mostly discord for trades. And recently did some trades on traderie.
Well done, but I think you need more dex than life, because you must reach 75 % of block, and may be 1 point in to fade, activate the fade before fight.
Thanks! It didn’t seem like block was an issue.
Fade would slow down my kicks because you cannot do burst of speed.
You can do other things to get % chance to block
Fade is an option but you’d need to sacrifice to gain IAS so vs Ubers not with it unless your blade sin

❤ good video still
:D hey buddy
Still wanna play
Build isn’t really expensive the only expensive item was Last Wish. Good job on build and video
You could argue that Enigma is also "expensive" but pretty much everyone has it. I'd say this is an expensive build haha.

wouldn't grief be better then last wish
No because you want at least 95% crushing blow. And the benefit of lifetap and might aura.
@@smalps-gaming might aura from merc and life tap from dracs the bonus dmg from grief makes evey kick do much more damage
@@TimeBomb008 worth a shot!
@@TimeBomb008 you’d lose some kick breakpoints and attack rating that way too.
@@smalps-gaming I thought kick doesn't use attack rating
Dragon Tail can clear chaos p8
How fast? Seems like it would be slow still but interesting. I like that DT has no prereqs or synergies. So it makes it easy to get.
