Couple suggestions to make your assassin play more fun. First get a insight polearm merc so your able to through down as many traps as you want. Secondly, throw them down all the time where ever you walk, ias helps here. It'll quicken your kills. Third Crescent moon now works on your traps, and is a must. Third, for big groups, don't forget to get one point into death sentry for that corpse explosion.
@wizrom30466 ай бұрын
Just go for death sentry! Sure its a bit less lightning damage than light sentry, but you get the massive increase to corpse explode range. I played death sentry assasin for years and it pwns lightnsentry sin formoverall clearing speed. And enough mind blast so you can keep most monsters stunned and stationary, increases your safety and easier for infinity pole merc and sentries to hit mobs when theyre stopped

FoH pally carried me through my early season recently and was really nice. Swapped to mosaic sin once I got some runes for double mos and enigma. Summoner necro holds a special place in my heart and I should probably revisit and do a better build of it. Lightning javazon is my alltime favorite build even if the tp speed is slow. Haven't really touched druid
@NiklasKMouritsenАй бұрын
You should try the Whirlwind Assassin! This build might not be as good as the TrapSin, but it is a lot of fun. If you have amazing gear and are level 95+, you can make it a combination of WhirlwindSin, TrapSin, and KickSin, and you get a lot more variance.

I was running a nova sorc and she was nice but I came across too many mobs and bosses I couldn't kill. I don't have Infinity or Griffon's or anything elite like that. I decided to do wind druid and I've been extremely happy with that character. HOTO, Spirit Monarch, Shako, Enigma, Chancies, Aldur's Boots, SoJ, Dwarfstar, and Nightsmoke belt. I'm killing everything in hell mode. I can kill Baal but he takes too long so I skip him and do everything else.

I agree with most of this list except the singer barb, I am not a fan at all. The mana consumption is painful without gear and even with GG gear it feels like playing a nova sorc that traded almost all its damage for a stun, sure its safe but the kill speed is so slow which feels terrible. I personally like the WW, pitzerker, and the throw barb better not only because it feels like playing a barbarian but it actually does something that dosen't feel like a gimped version of a different build.

Always wonder why ppl talking about budget in solo/offline game. You get what you find. In online if you buy Item you want, you just pay by items, currency you find(farm,grind ect.) so Item xxx cost XXX runs or simillar. But if you play ssf (like in Poe, ) word "budget" make no sense for me. You aquire items by finding/farming/grinding. No currency need. Just time to find items you need. The only budget you need is time and luck.

Title is a bit missleading because you mention best build for each character, and then you put down your preferences. Sorceress => Frozen Orb + either Fireball, Firewall, Nova Paladin => Hammerdin. FoH without gear is plain bad. Barbarian => Whirlwind. Nothing beats this, quick efficient and doesn't require gear other than big weapon damage and some mana leech. The plus part is, it doesn't spot you from investing into Find Item. Rest of the builds are exactly the best builds.

What you call ease I call boredom. I will never touch a summon necro, it's so boring. I really like builds where you can do something, use different skills, position your character, chose a monster to attack and so on. Thus, my favourite class is amazon. I really like different Bowazons but the Javazon is generally a lot stronger. Fof the Sorc, I would agree on nova for fun, but dual builds like FO/FB early on. The druid is pretty good on fire although wind will be your best playthrough. Since I'm still playing LOD I cannot use a throw barb which might be my favourite in D2R. The Paladin is weird. He has so many good builds, it's hard to chose. Hammerdin in LOD might be the easiest but you can literally play through the game with normal difficulty equipment on a holy freeze paladin. I like melee assassins as well as fire traps and blades. I could end up with any weird combination of skills, but I will just mention Riftsin and TS/DT kicksin with the decrepify sword.
