Hi there guys!
I have seen through most of the assassin walkthroughs in the PVM forum (https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=71588404&f=161) and as far as I can see most of these Martial Arts Assassins are based off of their kicking ability.
I was wondering if anyone have completed P8 with a martial arts build that is centered around the pure damage from the claws (tiger strike for example) or elemental dmg (Fist of Fire?)? Is the kicksin just too superior to alternatives in the MA tree?
Has anyone seen any exciting builds? I am thinking along these lines to make an interesting build.

Hope you got some insight!

I have seen a PS Assassin finish on bnet but stay away from Dragon Claw. Its terrible unless your on 1.09

I would recommend equipping a rift and PS for fun. I think these are called Riftsins. They are very viable and I have seen one on stream and looked really fun.

You could go with a elemental though. It'll be challenging but if you go dual elemental + max PS. Then you kill.most immunes in Hell but keep in mind its a single target attack but so is Dragon Claw. Blizzard didn't give justice to a MA Sin. Dragon Claw should be like Zeal IMO.

In all honesty, you're better off going Trap/MA. It will be a much better experience overall and it is not boring like a trapper. My last sin was kick and trap. SP is always better and supports more non cookie builds.

Blizzard really screwed the pooch with MA Sins and Summoning Druids IMO. It would be extremely awesome if you could make a gfg wolf summon druid. Luckily, they got most of the org 5 characters right besides maybe the Golems.
