this.
although yaf is kinda making a fool of himself with quite a bit of his posts, its fair imo to discuss build ideas and talk about their shortcomings. ideas spark ideas so even though I have my doubts with destruction for the reasons I mentioned in my prior post, maybe someone else will make a new variant of this class that they can have fun with. even if less effective than the tried and true.
really though with the vid yaf posted and how short a period of time he's been trying this class since his initial failure, makes me wonder.
btw yaf, you didn't answer my question: did you try out a riftsin or stormlash sin or did you just jump into trying something new with destruction/dragon k/t? because really k/t can look effective even at a fraction of the strength the class can be.
Yeah did stormlash, new improved setup, this is i think the best possible setup(for pure kicker, 99 dmg light scs)

Yeah wasnt sure about that.. still fire res good, helps avoid using res charms which would decrease damage

and of course a few charms is worth the loss of dracs.. :wacko:
not to mention pvm chars probably shouldn't be using a full inv setup like pvp chars..

your setup is flawed in so many ways, yet it still gets by on 8player chaos. even with your horribad gameplay. well.. kicksins are powerful in pvm. it does look like a powerful mob spawn might kill you though. have you tried going up against frenzy mobs or vipers or soul heavy areas? I know I could handle them, can you?
keep playing and you'll get better. don't be afraid to use more skills, you started mixing in ds, thats good, now start using cloak along with other skills more. you are doing good in that you are experimenting with things that other players wouldn't, but you also have to acknowledge that you are new to this class and haven't used a combination of assassin skills together since this past week. people here have been playing kicksins for years, so don't expect to hit that "best possible setup" from your own ideas until you've been at it for a while, the best is subjective anyway and depends on your gameplay style and what areas you pvm in. you have many flaws in your setup, calling a setup using loh the best only shows you are novice at this.

Seis was frenzy mob, and can use tgod against souls.. Regarding the setup, i think you are a bit misinformed, i believe it is the best possible setup for pure kickers, damage wise(yeah rends a bit better instead of laying, big deal) ;)

Fanaticism != Frenzy

He is referring to the frenzytaurs in Act V.

Yes.  Just got my merc to level 83 for andys+infinity today, and holy shit, it rapes. 

FUNNEST DIABLO CHARACTER EVER, HANDS DOWN.  MAKE THIS CHARACTER.
also, greatest eye candy possible.  Lightning going everywhere, bloody corpses exploding, frozen orb going everywhere, chain lightning from infinity, etc.  So much fun to just watch. 

Extremely powerful and fun.  Thank you so much for making this guide.


any chance you, or someone with this sin, could post a video of this in action, hellmode.
im very interested, but id like to see capabilities.

like maybe hell pit.
