I smiled all over it aswell. Finally after 20 years it is now viable. I tried it in D2 LoD and eventually swapped to kicksin instead because it is too much of a dmg loss charging all over again, and have a burst dmg like every 5 to 8 seconds. A Procsin was or is already better than LoD MA Assa. Also a minus of charging over and over again is the squishiness of assa herself. Before you have all your charges up, you probably were 80% or even more just fresh meat.

I really wanted to make a Hell-viable Dual Claw Assassin some day so this is good news. When I read about the runewords I didn't suspect they'd let those 50% chances on Mosaics stack additively, but here we are. I was sure they'd make it 2 x 50% check.

[@Ozzull]

Originally in D2, every item with the same aura/effect will stack up. I'm glad they didn't change that.

[@BananaTwazzler]

After all these years, I’ve never seen any of those finishing moves before lol

[@Pharisaeus]

Interesting thing is that you don't really need high end gear like Enigma. You can use Dragon Flight to teleport around for the most part, and it keeps refreshing your charges as well. For bosses/ubers I suspect Tiger Strike will be instant kill (8 kicks with 3rd charge of tiger strike lvl 40+ along with some crushing blow are hundreds of thousands of dmg). I suspect the charge management, especially for phoenix strike, will be a pain, especially if you overcharge.

[@Sunnygoesbrr]

i just used 2x mosaic on a cheated level 99 char and cleared p5 baalrun yes its difficult bc u are onehit but from a damage perspective its absolut crazy, means if u have 2x mosaic u can do EVERYTHING

[@Norththeninja]

its millions depending on your set up. was hitting that before this patch

[@twang5446]

Overcharge is fine, just switch your weapons and kick once with that CTA😂

[@TraxisOnTheLines]

I was thinking about dragon tail during this - it double dips damage, multipliers, giving all the bonus ED to the phys, then converting it to the increased fire, then buffing the fire. Having high level permanent 3 charge tiger strike on a dragon tail with 1000% bonus fire damage - that would be some damage.

[@williamwhitcher7496]

i hope when they nerf this they dont destroy it completely. always wanted this skill tree to actually work well

[@yarlehnowz]

Yeah definitely when not if. This is way too OP lol

[@FzNd]

This build doesn't make the skill tree work well, though. It essentially compromises the entire idea of the ebb and flow between charging and discharging, and replaces it with a unique mechanic that is entirely tied to dual wielding one specific item. Not a great way to make the tree work. I do, however, agree that it looks quite fun and it is most likely what I will be trying this ladder.

[@Stompy1984]

Maybe there should be a chance to not consume any charges on the Claw Mastery Skill level with an added % not to consume charges on certain/all Claw Weapons or maybe just on the Unique Claw Weapons. Same like the Ress all on a Paladin Shield, a Claw would either have some +skills or a %chance to not consume charges.

[@StrikerDeluxe]

@@viciouscrossbow real talk tho ... this build is worse than any sorc build when it comes to clear speed and worse than a regular kicksin when it comes to bossing. I kinda understand that it can do both to a degree but it straight up is not even close to Sorc in it's current state so it will not change the meta. Some people will play it this season because it is new for sure, but it really is not that good

[@asharedo]

@@yarlehnowz This build isn't as strong as a fully geared javazon though, so if it's 'way too OP' and needs to be nerfed, then I hope they nerf all the other 'way too OP' builds, or it's pretty dumb to just nerf this imo.

[@djagentorange]

Ginger mentor did some pretty extensive testing - NHD really messed with claws of thunder, especially if you use it with PS chain lightning. Ideal seems to be 3 Blades of Ice, 2PS, 3Cobra/Tiger charges. FoF messes with leech converts phys to fire), so likely want to avoid charges on that too.

why would this get nerfed? It's worse than Cold or Lightning Sorc in terms of clearspeed/speed in general and worse than a regular kicksin when it comes to bossing. This build is literally average idk why they would nerf it especially with it beeing a melee build aka it's bad to begin with

[@BigMac8000]

They might not nerf it at all. I suspect this may have something to do with D4 and them pumping assassin's. They're spending a lot of time honing this game, when d4 comes out if they release an assassin DLC, they may be incentivized to make Assassin a fan favorite in this game just to plug it in that game. That and they may be looking to buff just plain every class in some way over time, from the scale of it lately it feels like a lot of classes are just getting reworks and buff's in general, especially mid-level items. Mal / Gul is not too expensive for this build, they likely are trying to make the mid-game more satisfying. But we'll see of course. It's definitely the vampire survivors build though, nailed it.

[@Rencol666]

This is the most expensive build in game, because you need to dual wield RTX 4090 for it to work

[@amazingcalvin]

Inspired by Llama's Hell guided playthrough on a MA assassin, I attempted to finish Hell myself with the same Phoenix strike build. Took me about 3 weeks to finish it with budget items. Because I don't have D2 Resurrected, I did it all in my old 1.13 version where I have none of the new runewords or the charges consume buff to phoenix strike. Just the fact that I finished hell with budget gear and MA assassin in the old version of the game was enough to make me feel proud, since I am not a veteran Diablo 2 player. My items were Smoke Armor, Chromatic circlet with socketed PDiamond, Rhyme shield, a magic 28 fire rest plated belt, a magic 20 frw and poison resist boots, rare gloves with 10 IAS and cold and poison res, angelics amulet and ring. My weapon was malice claw for mobs and strength claw for bosses. My merc was holy freeze with tal's mask, lionheart armor and honor thresher for mobs and strength thresher for bosses. My inventory was full with life or resist charms. It's insane how much of a glass cannon she is. She dies very easily even on level 83 with 1360 health but also deals so much elemental damage that baal went down in 2 minutes. Most of my time in the baal fight was going back to town for potions, despawning his clone or death from festering appendages rather than the actual fight.

[@snaxximan5737]

you can also stack tigerstrike to get just another silly 2000% phys dmg. It may not be much since your boots are probably not made for kicking but will probably still be 1-2k phys dmg on each kick

[@infantiltinferno]

I guess nothing stopping anyone from doing dedicated kickers. Didn't sound like the boots where critical to the build at all. Not that you'd _need_ it considering the screen is already exploding.

[@Voicelet]

Honestly I'm glad we get more S tier, and every class should have at least one build at this level.

MA assassin was able to do P8 without this insanity. Now is just so broken, and this is not even the strongest MA build, dragon Talon + tiger strike will melt ubers even faster, also Cobra Strike, in the other hand tiger strike + dragon tail for 90k splash sustained dmg at 7 frames is ridiculous

[@miguelviau3163]

OMG that is AWESOME! Love it! Thanks Lama for the build.

[@a3ytc]

The probability should just stack differently (should be two independent trials, so 75% total) - even having a total of 80-90% would work ok, you'd have your fun for a while then after 5-10 insane hits you'd have to recharge... I think that's fair

[@Njutube]

Solution: Mosaic is only preventing to consume 1 Stack per Attack. Therefore you would still be able to keep up 1 skill (Phoenix as an example) and the other stacks would work without Mosaic and be gone after 3 attacks. What do you think?

[@7DragonEyes7]

Without Mosaic it's already like that each finisher hit remove 1 charge. I play MA all the time and the issue is the build up. You build up skills should charge up and use the ability at the same time so the game is about building all charge and rotating to refresh the charges then unleash on bosses. I still love the new Mosaic but it might be too good now I like MA because you cover all immunities and go at a good pace without teleport. Now it might be too fast but I'll enjoy this ladder!

[@Njutube]

@@7DragonEyes7 Sorry, i think i've expressed myself really bad :D As an example: When you are stacking up 2 different skills (3 stacks/globes of each skill) you need to use 3 Kicks in total to unload both colors, right? And my solution would be: If you are wearing 2x Mosaic the very first stack is gonna decide which skill is going to be "saved" by the new mechanic. When u are beginning to stack Phoenix Strike, this skill should always be unloaded without consuming the stacks until the stacks are running out of time. You could still stack up more than just one skill, but only the very first color is going to be saved by Mosaic and the other colors/spells gonna disappear after using 3 Kicks. Hope this is easier to understand, sorry not a native speaker

[@Natas327548]

Everything u build to 3 charges except phoenix strike. It all works for claws of fire, claws, of thunder, and claws of ice. Phoenix strike releases the charge it is at so charge 2 is better than charge 3. Hope this makes sense. Basically only phoenix strike you stop early and all other ma charge skills you can charge to 3 no worries.

[@robertaksland1471]

100% percent chance to not use charges is kind of a glitch. It is like 100% resistances or 100% crushing blow. Everything that adds up like this is capped to 75% or 95% so there is no reason for this one to allow 100% chance. But enjoy it as long as it lasts.

On the flipside: Allowing builds like this to be viable is what set PoE on the course of becoming "run around and blow up the entire screen".

You can make a build viable without allowing it to blow up the entire screen.

[@secondleasegamer8312]

@@Squatch_11 The issue with Seasons are that you constantly have to add more to change the meta, so the further on seasons go, without actually new zones and content, the more you are either stuck with a game that is boring and always feels the same with no evolving meta, or you end up in a problem like PoE, where seasons upon seasons of new items and/or systems have resulted in absurd amounts of Power Creep. D2 had ladder, but seasons were never even thought of as a way to keep interest in Diablo 2 when it was originally designed. I like to think of D2R as its own "Re-imagining" of D2 in modern era. Thus it feels necessary to me that the game evolves, rather than annoying me.

all my charges always dissapear in chaos between killing the last elite and when diablo spawns. just an instant before he shows up, as if the game knows exactly how long the charges will last and purposely set it up this way. not sure if i can prolong the charges without kicking anything? it makes chaos runs a bit lame at the end.

Patch 2.6 does not work for me on single player (no terror zones). How to fix it???

[@typewhothere]

do you think you can run this build for magic find??

[@ESP4thaWin]

You can use this build for goddamn anything you wan't. 2x Mosaic and you can run any other gear you want.

[@typewhothere]

@@ESP4thaWin ohh thank you

[@IzakeiL]

Hey Llama. What is the numbers in brackets after loot name (Battle Axe(68))? Is it Ilvl or what? And how to enable it?

[@reltsnie]

what does the number in brackets after all of the item names mean? that's not enabled on my game

[@sagitter140]

does Cobra Strikes adds up after you stacked all the other charges ? I can see my assasin stealing mana and live if I use only Cobra strikes but as soon as I stack all the other charges wont steal anymore ,,, even if I cast Cobra as last ... (It's my first time using the assisn so I must do something wrong ;) )

[@Kegaran]

Is it possible to level as martial arts assassin all the way to the rune words orwould you guys recommoned not to do that?

[@Ивелин-й6н]

Does that mean if you use cobra strike charges with mosaics you will infinity life steal without losing the charges

[@michu6019]

hi why then I change my boots from Natalya's soul mesh boots to shadow dancer my cobra strike not always gives me life and mana leach? Is it duo to FHR, or kick speed, or I kill too fast? Can you explain? My FHR without Shadow dancer is 0%.

[@chadcabral309]

Would sunders enhance this? Like swapping 1 in as you're using fire or lightning?

[@squeegie]

I remember way back in the day when Assassin was first introduced to the original game. I was so excited to make a martial arts assassin. Sounded great, but in practice it kind of sucked. Now.... my dream from 20 years ago... can finally come true. O.o

[@Sodacacik]

whats the difference with dragon tail and dragon talon?

[@wheskeraustere5642]

Looks fun still Ber less though so can't make the enigma. I'd imagine they could weaken the skill just a little bit how fast can most get to that level? I like to look at things from the solo perspective. Also how does it do in Uber?

[@m4rk59]

What about using Dragon Claw for procing two different charge levels of each charge type?

[@GoatedGang]

i dont get where the meteors are coming from.... you arent wearing anything with chance to cast anything

[@MatchesMalone91939]

i think its from phoenix strike?

[@deviantan021]

Never played a MA assa? Too bad

[@nahuelpeon5101]

should we start as a trapsin untill we have the claws?

[@sebastian-FX357Z1]

The charges animation looks awesome but will it cause lag in the game?

[@thomasgrabowski2202]

Cool, cuse I have a lot of this gear on NL :P is mosiac ladder only? or no.

[@alexgoldbar]

How would you level this build? Start with traps and transition to martial when you got the runewards ?

[@ryancooper3629]

yes. Think of it like WW Sin or Tesladin, its end game only. Level as something else then respec.

[@Ireland609]

I heard the Claws of thunder over rides some Phoenix strikes because of Next hit delay, is it not true?

[@Lonoty]

Definitely need a nerf. Another proof that the devs dont test their changes enough. I think they should remove the charge duration refresh, but increase the charge duration. I also think the number of different kind of charge should be limited. Something like 2 kind of charge at the same time. It would enable more strategic play when dealing with immunes.
