Ya I wish ladder would end so I could make a bow assassin. But bear in mind, as good as that build would be, all the barb has to do is throw on enigma, and you will still die. You won't have the time to kill him while run shooting, cause ww barbs with teleport are on your ass immediately. Its a good idea though, and would defintely work vs barbs with no enigma.

but cant u just use blade fury instead of the bow...except that it's not guided..lol

that wont work against good barbs..they'll just hit u with concentrate when ur teasin them

Aside from Trap assassins, no other assassin build can beat elite WW barbs. WW'ers can't, kickers can't, and I don't think a bow assassin could either.

Bottom line is, if you want to beat WW barbs with an assassin, use a trap sin and hope he doesn't use full absorb

should I buy chaos already made or make it myself?

depends if you have a good claw. If you have a good claw with useful +skills on it (venom, claw mastery, fade, dragon flight) then make it with that. Or one with ok skills and sup %ed (10+). It's cheaper to get already made ones though

Agreed. Your better off getting a claw with the best possible + skills and make chaos yourself.

When you really look at it, WW'ers have low physical damage anyway, so the difference in ED from a bad one to a good one won't really matter a whole lot. Your better off with a low ed claw with awesome skills, rather then a high ed claw with no skills.

Skills to look for on claws:

Dragon flight - If your keeping your DF at base of 1, then Definitely get DF on your claw. It saves 4 points.
Blade fury / Blade shield - If you can get a claw with both, then your set, cause there both 1 point wonders. Saves 3 more points
Shadow master - Can save you 2 points if your only planning to have a base level shadow which is likely
Mind blast - Saves 1 point, cause its definitely a 1 point wonder.

Venom - saves no points, but its an awesome skill to have cause it increased your damage a lot per lvl.
Weapon block - You can't have too much of this, cause you will be pumping WB to a high lvl. The more you have on claw, the less you have to invest for points
Fade - same as above. The more points you can save, the better

Other semi-useful skills:

Dragon claw
Death sentry - for pvm
Cloak of shadows

Mindblas tmaxed does huge damge ive killed many chars just using mindblast.

Another very nice guide. well worded and to the point good. Oh yah i might try and make one of these
