I can vouch this some barbs even bother to str bug so they can desync like mad also some of the good anti barb smiters use clegs + hf and slow from bb and tele smite which is tough vs barbs although barbs would use doom vs this setup and lifetap is the norm as well.

I never used ias bugs, and neither did all good assassin players on EU.
Guess there's huge difference between other realm players then.

We like it original without taking advantage on lacks of game.

haha times have changed lau many sins bug their claws nowadays

there are all sorts of bugs that people use, like desynch, wsg, strbug etc, nothing odd about using wsm bug imo

Huh.. So quality of D2 players IS rly THAT bad :S

What will ppl recommend us to use in "next generation" guides ? TMC and AA ? Sigh.


/e And sorry about spam. Just didn't know that assas are ignoring such main stat as IAS nowadays.



Duped runes are fairly different thing than taking advantage of bugs like wsm tho ^^

Yes, because I'm sure you never used Enigma, or any other item using duped runes whatesoever.

Go play single-player.

Get out of here with that scrubby attitude then.

wsm bugging just like other in game tactics - wsging, legit fcing, charge desyncing, ww desyncing, puddle desyncing, etc etc, are all part of the game.
Are you saying eu players don't take advantage of those tactics? Are you saying eu players don't use bb or try to gain whatever advantage the realm gives them? It's gm to use wsm bug, nothing wrong with it and its not gamebreaking to the point of any league banning it, just another feature of how characters function in d2.


EU didn't have eth glitch chaos whereas east/west both had glitch suwayyah or scissor suwayyah which is very attractive for a chaos claw in wsm bugging, so of course that tactic got picked up in those realms first. But really there is no reason for a wwsin on eu or ladder with a non-eth chaos to not look for the same staffmods in a suwayyah instead of a gt/rt/feral claw, because they will have easier ias bps and more ias stack, and a better base damage chaos.

Scrubby attitude ? I just said that using bug chaos is, in my opinion, just stupid.
And for what ppl post guides in D2jsp else than helping others and get feedback for it ?
If you can't stand the feedback, don't post. Simple as that.

And yes, EU had some eth bug Chaos claws, which were extremely expensive tho.

Correct me if Im wrong, but if you change your weapons off from claws, you lose the bug right ?
So you never ever use c/c+storm (or another shield) combo in tvts for quick switch from 60%~ to 75% block trap-lay-only ?
Duh...

ya scrubby attitude. look up sirlin's definition of what a scrub is. refusing to use something just cause its a bug?

obviously builds and setups meant to tvt and switch don't use wsm bug. but any wwsin or hybrid that doesn't can benefit from using the bug. There are reasons to use it, and reasons not to use it for different setups. In the case of hybrids or wwsins, it doesn't come up. If you want to use a w/s switch for teams, feel free to have stashed claws for non-wsm bug setups. Otherwise why not gear yourself better and take advantage of higher damage claws? makes no sense.

It doesn't mean that you have to use everything you can or could use.
Anyway, I don't want to spam Bui's guide anymore, I can hear brand new assassins setting their wsm bugs already.
Can't wait for the day when (and if) blizzard fixes that bug lmao. Will be humiliating.. ><
