non ww melee assassin build

So adding *2000% ED is useless?

Please post your build, since you're anxious to knock mine.

So adding *2000% ED is useless? Please post your build, since you're anxious to knock mine.

with pleasure, first off let me point out flaws with in ur build then mine

Stats
STR: 82
DEX: Keep 75% block
VIT: Rest of points here
ENE: Leave at base.

1st thing - str = KEY factor in the kick damg forumla as fllows and self explanatory:
MinDmg = (str+dex-20)/4)*(100+skill_bonus)/100 + BootMinDam*(100+str*StrBonus/100+skill_bonus)/100

MaxDmg = (str+dex-20)/3)*(100+skill_bonus)/100 + BootMaxDam*(100+str*StrBonus/100+skill_bonus)/100

dex-another issue, where as BASE dex could be used and keep str/vit at higher numbers and thru the viablilty of weapon block(wb) where as dex is not required.
vit- no beef with that.

NOW
Equipment - All assumed to be perfect or near perfect.
Helm: Andariel's Visage (40%ED/+20Life Jewel)
Armor: Ethereal Arkaine's Valor (Zod)
Weapon: Eth Upgraded 'Tucs (Zod)
Shield: Stormshield (40%ED/+20Life Jewel)
Gloves: Dracul's Grasp
Belt: Verdungo's Hearty Cord
Boots: Shadow Dancer
Ring1: Raven Frost
Ring2: Bul Kathos' Wedding Band
Amulet: Highlord's Wrath

who the hell wants to use the pos andy helm... shako still is > it by dr and mass life bonus makes up for the +2X str by FAR, next valor... by first the worst armor ever made for its steep str req with that kind of str isnt worth the vit given even at lvl 99, 08 valor would be well worth using but dont exist anymore, ammy, belt gloves boots, rings are fine

charms are ok, as u seem to think that damg > longevity/verstility as ur build seems to lack resists

SKILLS~!
Tiger Strike [20] - big no no ur a Kicker
Dragon Talon [20] - np here
Burst of Speed [1] - more points could be optional
Claw Mastery [20] - big no no ur a Kicker
Venom [20] - np here
Shadow Master [20] - np here

basically its pointless to charge up, as a kicker all u do is kick got it?, charging up is like a slow suicide for pvp now. yah u go ahead and try to get that extra 2000%ed while someone kills u ^ ^ and teleports etc now my build i post in another post since im running a lil low on space or so i think

I wasn't posting a pure Kicker guide. The Dragon Talon was mainly aimed for the High Attack Rating bonus, and the Tiger Strike was aimed to enhance the damage of the kick. Like I said, I haven't made an Assassin for a while, so I wasn't fully informed when I made this.

The STR was the minimum for all the +STR gear that is included with the Equipment. With all the bonuses, the STR would be fairly respectable to enhance the Kick damage. I chose Eth Valor mainly for the Defense it would provide, but then, I forgot about Chains of Honor.

As far as skills go, the 1 point in BoS was enough to get the maximum 7FPA Tiger Strike, so I saw no real need in wasting further points.

The charms are more for damage yes, but the 3/20/20's were more for the Attack Rating bonus and life. I suppose Steel Small Charms of Vita would work also.

To be honest, I don't think I turned out a bad build, it just may not be 100% in-line with the times. I never really played Assassins.

You'd need a significant amount of IAS if you're aiming for a 8FPA or 7FPA Dragon Tail.

i guess i was typing too slow and doing some clan stuff so yah read my first post as to y charging up is a very very very bad idea and extremely difficult to pull off in a pub game or priv league(yah rite.... LMAO)

btw: ive been playing asns for about 2 1/2 yrs or so and pallies since classic
