Hello, since I'm an assassin "main", Id like to keep track of the specific class rules ; especially regarding BoS/Martial arts in specific matchups.

I never played a pure trap and mostly play pure kick/ghost(never LS synergies maxed OR no more than 1 points in trap) and heard here and there DClaw and bos is banned vs necro (which was a key skill back in the days), etc etc

So has it been discuss already for ghost? W/S Kicksin?

Tests and experience are welcome, discuss !

Unfortunately the sin martial arts finishers are guaranteed hit, ignoring defense, block and dodge. It's stupid overpowered for anyone that can mind blast+stomp, and even a trap sin with level 1 dragon talon+venom is strong enough to beat smiters.

This only becomes more significant of a problem for kick sins and ghosts. Hopefully blizzard patches the issue soon.


As for burst of speed, using it to achieve 6 frame trap laying speed is also insanely broken. There are some builds such as 174 FCR w/ hoto, in which your speed would be same as legacy with burst of speed.

I can see 11k trap 3FPA laying being an issue, but the "anyone that can mind blast+stomp" is not far different from smite + foh + tele hammer ; maybe less mechanically demanding I agree but same result.

You wont ever win a smiter with a kicksin without trap damage, smite beats kick in every aspect intrinsically

What is causing finishers to ignore block and def and dodge?

Uncapped fpa. You can kick faster than intended to stunlock and get a tight little boner coz they removed counterplay by removing wsg.
You don't need to run extralaps to make this a "kicksin" thing. 1pt dtalon is nuff.

Bad coding is causing all of that.

Still funny how everyone is rabid about assassin while pog champs are 4pa smiting.
