Why my assasin dies all the time?

[masochista]

Hi. I've been playing for MXL for about a year, made couple of succesfull characters like pouncezon, caster pal etc. and i wanted to try assasin. Everything was good until early destruction. 1-2 hits and everything wrecks me, PB does not help a lot. I'm playing throwsin mainly
wychwind/maelstrom + broadside.

My gear:
Double MO Sacred Balanced Knife Lem RW
T6 Splint Mail socketed 6x perf amethyst
Jah RW in Tiara
Honorific Gloves with res
T6 Heavy Belt
T6 chain boots socketed 4x ll+hp jewels
Ath rw in Sacred Aspis
Random Rare jewelry

I've made most basic ubers like butcher, tal rasha, creature of flame. But every else one are just instagib for me.
Can you help me/give me some advice?

Its been a while since I played. But I remember thinking the same thing. Until I hit 75% block and had a high dodge chance. Then I started cheesing through things. You'll still die at times though.

I have only 13% are there any fast ways to increase it, or i just have to eat 500 sigs?

Hi, how are you?

First of all, Assassin is a really mechanical/gear dependent, you need to know really well what are you doing or you'll be dying 24 7. In fact, even if u do know you'll still die. And yes, Ubers will almost surely 1H.K.O
From hatred to terror its simple cause you simply go with nagi and wreck everything, but at dest enemies are much stronger. Just make sure you are not running and that you have a good block%, all resist maxed out, enough %LL, etc.
In any case, I recommend you to read the Kickstarter Assassin's or simply change to Wyrd for crowd areas/farming and Broadside/WW for ubers.

I have both rings socketed to +15 to wyrd, so i have 0.5 sec spell timer. Still kinda hard. From skills i have maxed PB, way of gryphon, way of phoenix, broadside and wychwind to reduce duration of vulnerability

There are many ways to boost your block rate, will list them:

• Points into dexterity.
• A good/crafted shield with %block in it.
• Stats you get from charms.
• Signets. There are many ways to get signets, eating unique jewels, quivers, rings/amulets, opening special boxes from terror, T/Dnihlathak drops uniques for arcane crystals and Signets of learning.
• Etcetera LOLOL

You need 0.2 spell timer to Wyrd for max dmg output.

Ya, I know that. I just thought that there could be something else to increase it XD

I've just socketed some more, I will try now.

If you're gonna use Wyrd, you should have a swap claw runeword (JudgeRW) + a good shield for %Dex/%block and ATMG(optional) just for using Wyrd and in the swap side the Throwing knife.
Dont forget to change to Albretch TU Chain mail for proc and MO your rings with Hammer on kill for max proc/dmg output.
