Lack of gear and runewords for MA sin mid to late level hampering my progression almost all caster builds can just slap on two spirits and clear full game easily. Go into hell and it’s a different story level 80 assassin struggling to go through hell. She absolutely wrecks nightmare clears very easily. Also I play melee chars in other rpgs/mmos I’ve played.īeen playing single player offline on the ptr with the Phoenix strike assassin. Started ladder with sorc so many times over the years when i was younger i can no longer go them. Yeah I really want to start ladder with MA Sin. UNLIKE Plague in a runeword, you CAN Zod it, but it comes at the cost of not being able to add Crushing Blow, additional leech, more deadly strike, etc.

It doesn’t have your + to stats like one would prefer, it doesn’t have a ton of crushing blow or deadly strike, necessitating you get it from elsewhere, it’s got plenty of AR to button up the attack rating a bit, but no % AR so you’d have to get it from somewhere else, but the IAS it has makes it useful for any build until they get something else, while still retaining decent damage throughout.Īnd, just like Plague in a Runeword, you can’t use it ethereal and still get to use Blade Shield.

This would be a nice bladesin claw, while still technically worse than Death, Last Wish, Plague, etc.Īnd it would give us a new unique on an elite weapon without having to go to ilvl 85 to find one. +15-1485 Attack Rating(Varies Per Level) I feel that Claws for specific builds in endgame should actually be covered with UNIQUES instead. The problem is that that’s not a specific Assassin claw runeword and second the enhanced damage is to low for a claw. You can tell that most of these are already presented in runeword “Fury” and I will agree with that. Please not that the suggestion above not necesasry must be on that row/order and at once. Life / Mana stolen per hit (at least 8%).Attack rating per level (this can unlock a lot of stuff).Mighy/Concentartion aura, Fanatism is also applicable.Amplify damage (at least 10% chance to proc on attack), Decrepify also.Most important (Increase Attack speed).

What I and believe many of me will said is the fact we need NEW endgame runeword. Preferable on Runic Talons / Feral Claws because of their good speed. We don’t have so much options for Claws (3 sockets) When a mace is called for in a Runeword recipe, you can use a Mace, Morning Star, Flail and Exceptional/Elite versions only.Many of you who’s playing our favourite characters knows the fact that Assassin is the most injured class. Maces doesn’t mean all Mace class weapons. +3 to Bow and Crossbow Skills (Amazon only)
