Lol or I could of just clicked that link to the spreadsheet with every question I ever had answered before my eyes! GG thanks for all the work u do bro 🙏 🙌

[@Christoff070]

Take that spreadsheet with a grain of salt. Its his predictions of builds based on recent patch changes, and some basic testing. Doesn't cover everything or the subtleties of min-maxing certain builds

[@Gurgur94]

is this still good for s10?

[@Cyb3rHippy]

Is there an actual build guide anywhere for this?

[@Christoff070]

Not a recent one, there's one from 3 years ago though. U can always ask on pd2 discord. No such thing as wrong question, just a wrong build. But afaik it's pretty simple build skill wise. Gear wise various options u can go dual claw with firelizards talons faceted and plague rw (cleansing aura is really great qol). And then +skills gear bit of pdr. Also if dual claw put a few points into weapon block and dex go for high block chance. Need to hit trap laying breakpoint with gear if running fade, if not, stick with burst of speed pretty much, and look for res on Ur gear. Then the question is whether u do more dmg with 4fire skill lcs or trap skillers. I'm still trying that out atm. Then you want conv aura a2 defiance merc, if u can't make that yet use a1 vigor merc with pus spitter, very useful too and go for high ias on her e.g mavinas helm with ias socketed. If u are starting from scratch, start with lightning traps and farm arcane sanctuary hell for runes just the flat path (some vids by chaos sanctuary explain this), because there's too many fire immune areas in hell, then with more gear and +skills transition to cows, until u are able to afford to make infinity on merc then farm maps

@@Christoff070 firelizard doesn't really do anything for u. traps dont get -res. better off with like a +5 or 6 claw.

[@Christoff070]

@@BurtondaGreat ahh I wasn't sure about that, thanks. Are fire dmg lcs or trap skillrrs the way to go do you know?

[@BurtondaGreat]

@@Christoff070 u need to find the balance between skill level and % fire damage. it's prob somewhere around lvl 45 wof and rest LC. im sure that info is mentioned somewhere in the assassin channel. i'm not 100% on the exact balance. u want both tho.

[@Christoff070]

@@BurtondaGreat nice, tysm

[@Jethro_Bo_Dean]

Hi....is this build a viable season starter or does it require a ton of plus skills and infinity?

[@dnldttmr]

You can do this as a Starter. Played this already multiple times. Aim for a Treachery and Leaf this should be alright for the start. Me personally however like to go for Lightning Traps to farm early arcane. If you need an upgrade for your weapon: An easy way to find Magic +3 Assassin and +3 any Trap Claws is Anya in Act 5 aswell.

[@sigurdopheim3626]

Shopping claws does the trick, crafting armor with 1+ skill is also good. Crafting claws is not easy to get +7 trap.. but a 1+ is always there and maybe you can get a +4? it works anyways.

[@Christoff070]

Definitely more the latter if u wanna farm easily. Otherwise stick to light traps and farm arcane, too many fire immune areas in hell

[@Skizzy29]

What did they fix with WOF?

[@sigurdopheim3626]

Next hit delay!

[@makaze0163]

Trapsin is use? In S9

[@Christoff070]

There's probably better builds out there. Sorc for one, fly around nuking everything although well built sin can go dual traps, need good gear for that tho
