Trapper Assassin Playstyle 1.12bIntroduction:It was time for a change! No more mister "I bring my assassin and place 5 traps at town gate for epic lulz and dies". It is time for I to reveal the revolutionary art of handling your trap assassin. I then, it's now three months ago, gathered all my work I've done about this subject and gathered them all in one big
wall of text Bible. Reader discretion is advised, since this may COMPLETELY change your look at the assassin, and might ruin the PvP tournaments, since they'll be _flooded_ by assassins. No more mister "lol u eZ brb I geT my HaMMeR and rape you with my flying brown tools aka 16k damage" - Hammerdins is a WEAK race when you put them up 1v1 with a well handled assassin. No more mister "laL ezpk i hide 10 screens away with invis bone spirits afk stone on right click i go eat some blt sandwich". Necromancers will get MUTILATED and chopped to pieces (if they don't esc before).
Here we go!
Overview: - 1: The German Method
- 2: The Spanish Method
- 3: The Chameleon Method
Let’s start off:
The German Method
The German Method is perhaps the most simple, but may also be the most lethal! It makes you hit the enemies five times as much as normal, just by stacking the traps - Sounds simple? Then, why didn't anybody figure it out yet? I got taught this trick through my German Mentor (hence the name 'german' method)
GeekS. He has taught the ancient style of the German language, and after some years of studying the holy scrolls of this forgotten language he finally taught me this trick.
The method itself is quite easy to perform, you lay ~7-8 traps, at the same spot, then they will, all five, be stacked and look like 1. (As illustrated on the image) Then you have to walk ~.5 - 1yards down, so you don't stand on the traps - because nobody is stupid enough to jump traps, even though there is only one, lol. So the opponent thinks "Huehehehe, he walked away from his traps, I'll jump him now!", but as you can see on the image, you are not going to be standing still down under the traps. No, you are going to cast Mindblast on yourself untill somebody is reckless enough to jump me! They'll get tossed into SOME HELL of a stun from Mindblast and getting hit by 5 lightning sentries. Almost instant death ensured! Also, this will ensure ALOT of rage, because the opponent was tricked "LOLWUT, THERE WAS ONLY 1 TRAP?" and you are allowed to caps-spam "HAHAHAHAHAH HAMMER OWNED BY
1 TRAP LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL" untill the opponent leaves the game or sends you link to goatse hidden as a rapidshare upload filled with child porn. Rage!
I don't find it necessary to elaborate more on this method, since I believe most people will study on it independent, after reading this guide. Let's go on.
The Spanish Method
The Spanish Method is quite more difficult doing than the German Method, yet it isn't as complicated as the Sneaky Method though.
The Spanish Method is extremely lethal, aswell as all the other methods, but the difference between this, and the German Method is, that the Spanish Method doesn't require any Mana, when you are in the intense part of the duel - Where the opponent jumps you. If you are getting jumped by a Hammerdin, simply take one step down and watch him getting mutilated - At all other chars, just sit back and relax, they'll get stomped from EVERY angle, hence neglecting their absorb, that's one of the major parts of this trick, and the second is, that the Hydra, as you can see on the image, casted from torch, will hit them and cause BOTH Fire damage and ___alot___ of stun - If you are so ruthless to cast Mindblast on the opponent, the Hydra will stun them even more. There is not some upper class persons, such as Father
GeekS that have taught me this trick. I've taught it myself, by adapting learning from visuals - I will not elaborate on this part, I will NOT reveal from where I've got the information about The Spanish Method, but I tell you, once you find out from where I've studied the method, you'll be amazed yourself and dedicate your life to learning this skill. All I can say is, that it was invented by a Spane, hence the name, in a _very_ intense duel versus an elemental druid - The assassin felt he had difficulties beating the druid, and had to _do_his_best_ to beat him, he really had to get micro! In a desperate nanosecond of life and death, he, in panic and without thinking, casted Hydra, and stunned the shit out of the druid. He then evolved this method into both being offensive and defensive - Offensive in the means of, when you are at low life and getting stomped, you fight back with the Hydra and simply knock the shit out of them -- Defensive in the means of, you can create a "pentagram" of traps, as shown on picture, cast a Hydra for extra stun, and then go afk with loads of replenish life items on. (4rep jewels in claws and dol in your helmet, and nobody can kill you). I can't ensure that any rage will happen after you kill with this method. The opponent is too amazed of the stun from the Hydra, that they are unable of talking. And if they DO talk, just squelch them, you are superior since you handle this method.
The Chameleon Method
At last, but not the least - The Chameleon method. This may be the MOST frightening of ALL the methods. The rate of 0wnage and rage is far from the same as the Spanish nor the German Method, but this is more,, alot more stratetically correct. I want you to understand - This method isn't fully evolved yet, so I can't elaborate it down to digits, since it's still under development.
As you can see on the image, you must have your opponent at the top, casted a WoF at yourself and 4 traps at the bottom. Now the trick is, if you cast Cloak Of Shadows then the 4 traps in the bottom becomes 100 % invisible, as clearly shown on the image, so the opponent thinks "HEY WUT, NO TRAPS? I JUMP HIM NOW LOLS". But, as he jumps you (And I apologize for NOT having Fade on the picture, sorry sorry) the WoF starts casting flames at him, at the same time he reached the reach of the traps, so he'll get stunned by WoF and attack by the 4 traps, he is probably like "LOL WTF DESYNCH TRAPS LOLLLLL", so don't be surprised if they start calling you a hacker. But, what I was saying in brackets about the Fade, is that Fade is VERY important. If you go test yourself; Hostile an oppoent, cast fade and WoF on the opponent - When standing, faded, in the flames, you become 100 % invisible, I repeat myself - 100 % INVISBLE. It's just so imba - The opponents gets all confused and then hit by an assload of traps. It's just so brutal in a way.
The cons of this is that it's quite difficult to set up. Having The German Method as the easiest one, The German Method just takes few seconds to set up, while The Chameleon Method might take around 15-20 seconds - (My personal best is 6.2 seconds, while duelling an opponent, but don't compare with me, I'm experienced). That would be the only cons about the insane method.
Now, if you feel that I haven't explained/elaborated enough - I bet some of you got problems with The Chameleon Method - feel free to post the questions here. As a superior it's my duty to help you through your struggle with these duelling types.
