Hi, so I'm new here as well as in Diablo 2 and I was checking out this guide but I don't understand some of the terms here...
Code
Weapons; Primary:
-30 wsm claws (runics, greater talons) with 2 assassin and 3 ls. Additional skills to look for are; mind blast, weapon block, shadow master, fade. Get one with 2 sockets. Base ias would be ideal.
Of course, if you make a fire assassin, choose according skills (wof, woi, fire blast)
What to socket? If you don't have base ias, you should socket it with 2 shaels for 40 ias. If you have base ias, stick in 15 ias 15 all res jewels
Weapons; Secondary:
second pair of -30 wsm claws. same 2 assassin 3 ls and same additional skills. Of course, if you make a fire assassin, choose according skills (wof, woi, fire blast). Only difference here is that you _won't_need_ any base ias. Socket it with say, 7 fhr 15 all res jewel. Best would be: 7 fhr 10 all res 8 life and then maybe additional 30 to single resis
Amulet: I'd go with 2 assassin 15+ fcr life/mana/all res amulet. str/dex is nice but I wouldn't bother unless I land on some _godly_
Armor: Enigma, not another word. dusk is nice because when faded, your assa looks like she wears a bikini ^_______^
Belt: Arachnid
Rings: Raven and fcr ring. Stats to look for in fcr ring are str/dex/life/mana/all res. of course, not all stats are possible ^___^
Helm:
2 Assassin skills 20 fcr 2 socket helm would be ideal. kewl adds would be: frw, life, mana, all resis.
What to socket? I'd go with 2 jahs, or 2 prubies, depending if you tvt alot (with your own bo, 2 jahs give more life but with barb giving bo, 2 prubies give more life)
Gloves: Bloodfists. Ias, fhr, life. What could go wrong?
Boots: Well now, you obviously have many choices. Marrowwalks are nice for pure stats. They also have mana regen and frw but being the highest str req piece of gear, I wouldn't consider these. Waterwalks are great choice. 15 dex, which will be definitely put to use along with 65 life. These boots also sport 20 frw and +5 max fire resis. My number one choice. Then there are sandstorm treks. Overall great boots with 15 vitality and 15 strength. But also, them being the highest str requiring piece of gear that's one stat wasted. If you somehow aren't willing to get 7 fhr jewels for claw, then these boots are the option to go with. 20 frw and 20 fhr being the awesome-maker here. The last but not the least of all boots are rare boots. There are certainly dupes that will blow any boot off but primary stats to look for are frw, fhr and triple resists.
Inventory
9 Trap skillers (duh) with maximum life possible (duh)
anni
torch (duh duh)
9 scs 20 life 5 all res (or single resis (cold/light))
1 sc 5 fhr 5 all (unless you use sandstorm treks, or rare boots with fhr
Like, first :
What does "30 wms" means ?
"shael" ?
"fhr" ?
"fcr" ?
"frw" ?
And by the way, is there something I should change as I'm building a Hardcore character and I don't plan to pvp ?
