I’m just wondering if there is a hybrid Assassin build out there who utilities the Natalya’s complete set in it. I would like to use traps and martial arts, can anybody set me in the right direction on how to do this?

pvm or pvp?

assuming pvm.
generally pvm builds are trappers. you want to put full 60 points into LS + synergies if you want good damage out of it.
for pvm kicksins, they generally rely on cb% equipment with death sentry, but nats does not have any room for cb% with the helm/armor/boots taken up.

this is pure theorycraft, but with the buffs to MA skills in 2.4 it might be fun to play fof/cot/PS chargeups.
use 1 point dclaw to release charges.
and max DS for corpse explosion radius.

not sure if it will be "good" compared to top builds, don't think it'll be a speedy clearer, but should be viable to solo and fun if its your first time and you want to run nats set with a MA focus.
nats is not good for TS/dtail or pure dtalon if you wanna use MA with it.
nats ww/traps is the choice for pvp (that being my pvp nats set sin build), but lacks cb% to make use of whirl for pvm

Awesome thanks for your help! It’s for PVM. Can you please post what the abbreviations are? Like MA, fof, cot, ps etc.
