Hello All, long time no walk. I've been lurking a while and enjoying lots of your walks!

Anyway lets get this started.


"In this perfection I lament her beauty"

My most recent walks have been focused on completing the game whilst using odd skill combinations and runewords/gear/mercs. This will be no different.

This assassin will not be a trapper, although I will be using the corpse explosion benefits of Death Sentry. She will not be a pure martial artist either. So unless something drastic changes with my build, you won't see heavy points into any traps.

As my sorceress Echo presented, it is possible to use completely weird skills and gear, yet still move through the game rapidly without much farming or stalling.

That being said, I will be basing this assassin as more of a supporting role to a powerful shadow warrior/master and a mercenary. My original theorycraft for this build was to enlist the use of death sentry, mind blast, cloak of shadows, certain martial arts abilities, and possibly runewords/auras that will power up my team of allies. If I get lucky, maybe even extra minions I can summon :P

I believe this will be a longer road than my sorceress had, but it will be safer in my opinion. The assassin has so much potential to survive and thrive while the sorceress was so vulnerable, and one teleport could mean game over. Proof below... :cry: (BUT DID YOU DIE)



All of this being said, this is my 4th Assassin walk. My first two can be found below, and my third was never finished because of a hard drive death. ITT: I suck at assassins and really want to guardian one.



Jarpz(lvl86), The Assassin (Died A2 Hell)


Phantom(lvl83), The Assassin (Died Act 3 Hell)

As for rules/goals:

Never fun to see this aura





So, cloak of shadows and mind blast are doing well so far. Just need a tanky shadow!
