Here's a look at my stats entering Act 2 Hell. I will try to make a collage of my current gear soon. Still a bit confused on my skill placement in the martial arts tree. So many possibilities and things to test damage for. Right now I am trying tiger strike/phoenix strike(blades of ice maxed for cold damage/freezing synergy) and Dragon talon finishing move. Fade maxed for damage reduction and resists. Shadow master is my current skill dump. If anyone has any suggestions as for what martial arts skills work best for decent damage feel free to post :)

So after about two levels worth of pit runs... heres my best findings..



Found this eth Sharktooth and got a lucky eth bug roll! Woot! Merc lives much better now.



Amazing base for Chaos in the future? This will save me a few skill points for sure! Ohm isn't too far away I hope :)

Thought about upping the bartucs for more dmg? (might have to re-distribute stats then though)

I thought about upp'ing the Tucs, but unfortunately I cannot even use them right now because I am forced to use my "Black" Runeword Flail for the 40% crushing blow. I have yet to find any other gear with crushing blow, so until then I have to stash the Tucs :(

Okay guys, I have gotten to that point where its reallly hard to continue making progress. I have tried multiple times to get through act two as martial arts + death sentry. It's not working out very well! My damage is pretty weak, and my merc is basically the only thing killing stuff. Not really sure how to continue this walkthrough without MF'ing more and more gear, but I do not really want to do that...cuz you know...yeah. Anyone have any suggestions on how I can progress successfully? Otherwise its back to magic finding :wallbash:

blades of ice and thunder + max their synergies. Those two works pretty good but - e.g with nat set... but not sure if its enought with such craps:/
few points in death sentry obviously

Well guys, I figured this would happen sometime in act two. I literally was at full hp, killing this champion death beetle with no problem. I instantaneously died from something he did. Possibly got cursed from a monster around the corner and he connected on me or something. Sad day. I worked really hard on this damn assassin and tried to stay true to Martial arts for all my progression. In total I lost 3 Um runes, bartucs, vamp gaze, nat boots, all kinds of stashed exceptional/elite unique and sets/runewords including 2x treachery/eth cv insight. I think it just was not in the cards for a pure martial arts sin to make it through like I had intended. As you can see I had full rejuvs on my belt when I died, that shows you how quickly I died because I didn't even have the reaction time to spam the rejuvs :cry: I also lost a 19-17-8 Annihilus Charm :(
