works great at 1 point if you want a MA focused build, does better maxed as well (explosion radius increases per level)Ĭloak of shadows - shuts down almost all monsters, prevents monsters from using spells and ranged abilities, works great at 1 point, has a recast timer after you cast, keep this skill at 1 point base, use it all the time.

Skills you should know for pvm if you've never played an assassin before:ĭeath sentry - owns pvm, does massive damage, creates a chain reaction of explosions once bodies start dropping.

If you want something more melee, elemental chargeup strikes do work in pvm but it'll take some work, not the easiest char to use and a lot of hotkeys required, but fun pvming.įirst thing: go to options, set your hotkeys on qwert/asdfg/zxcvbn or something similar instead of fkeys, you will need this as an assassin. Kick/trappers are the most powerful pvm assassins, they are a bit more leaning towards the trapper side but have a melee attack they use.

I play TCP/IP games and can get any runes I need for items to make runewords. No hybrid or anything complicated like that. I'm looking for a PvM Martial Arts assasin. These guides does me no good until I've played lots with assasin.Ĭould some kind member of this forum just post his skill tree (points without + from items) for me and the items he use. I've never played an assassin before and I don't know if I want to invest in other skills. Hi I'm new here on the forum and I've searched for assassin guides for hours on google and all I get is these really massive guides which allows alot of options for the user.Įither Max if you want to take full advantage of the synergy bonus,ġ0 points if you'd like to invest in other skills, or only 1 as aĪnd it's like this for almost every skill in almost every guide I read.
