Haha nice! Epic Diablo kill. I never play sins, didn't know you had to use claws to do charge-up skills lol

Are you going to go for upgraded bartucs when you hit NM meph?

The Assassin Martial Arts skill tree is divided into three columns, as follows:

Left: Charge-up skills that require claw(s) or bare hand (no weapon)

• Fists of Fire
• Claws of Thunder
• Blades of Ice

Centre: Charge-up skills that require a melee weapon or bare hand

• Tiger Strike
• Cobra Strike
• Phoenix Strike

Right: Finishing Moves (charge-releasing skills other than a normal melee attack)

• Dragon Talon
• Dragon Claw
• Dragon Tail
• Dragon Flight

So, you do in fact have other options than just Phoenix Strike.

Patch 1.13 increased the duration of charge-up bonuses (the gap until they expire if not released) from 9 to 15 seconds, which should provide you ample time to combine multiple charge-ups and release all before any of them expire.
This could be used to great effect, given sufficiently high attack speed.

OMG EYWA QUOTED ME

Acknowledged by Eywa ☑

Now I just need to find a Zod rune straight up and my all time D2 goal list is completed.

Edit: I guess that means you can charge up pheonix + cobra strike and not be dependant on item mana leech

yeah but you actually have to do reasonable damage for rejuv strike to work lol

right now it just drains my orb stacking charges,
and then doesn't actually leech anything.

in the near future, when i have 2x tucs, i'll pick up dragon claw or w/e and it'll actually be useful







Tried an imbue. Went well, I think.






Grabbed this shortly after, I'll ort+ral it for my merc until he gets a Smoke.






I got this, too.

I missed the first SS, merc hit him really hard and he died, lol.






Korlic, who used shout and negated half of my AR.






10 mins later, as you can see by the amount of blood, Talic.
I couldn't actually hit him, so I just went afk and made a sandwich and let my merc kill him.

Maybe stacking tiger strike and cobra would increase dmg enough to leech lol. I dunno just throwing out ideas.

Got a decent map for baal. Aside from slow+decrep making me attack at a frame I didn't even know existed, it was easy.

Until Lister.

I dealt with him in a corner so he couldn't bash spam me.






Then Lister himself got in range, proceeding to make several close calls with me not being able to spawn a tp to escape.






Eventually it was down to him, and he bashed the fuck out of me. I tried the wall trick again but he just did way too much damage.
I'll skip him this time, don't really care enough to deal with this crap.

Switched to Malice sword + Phoenix main, made waves a LOT easier now that Phoenix outdamages FoF.





Ellie attempted to meteor baal 100 times, fucker kept teleporting halfway through the animation.






Took about 12-13 minutes, only 3 towns for merc rezzes.






The shit-tastic drops even with MF rings+amu.
