I didn't think you still played romanN1! You may not remember me from the old forum haha. Anyhow, thanks a ton for the advice. I've got a lot to consider, using a shield or dual wield. I have a Shamanka with 4x Nih runes for pre-combat buffing. Throwing knife on switch at the moment, for broadside. Batstrike sounds really good. I will check out Stoya's guide to batgirl soon. In the mean time I'm farming up shrines and more rares to craft for my Assassin.

Thanks again everyone, so far this character has gone from "zero" to... well kind of a hero in some regards lol.

Is "Nero" runeword better than Black Void belt on this hero?

Trying out this build, but not noticing any block % appearing in the defense column when I bloodbath or wear two claws. Does anyone know if that has been changed from what Stolya and Roman have said?

At the end of this guide are several mini guides for all kinds of sins.

The witchhunter set sucks by the way. If you manage to get points in vampiric icon and actually use it, and have max block you are basically immortal. If you followed the standard way for laz (abbadon crafted gear with much def, MO with %ed) and use Natashas Legacy you can reach like 150k def and get hit even less.

Thanks for the great guide Nitz.

What I was looking for was a dual wield assassin, that's why the dual wield bloodbath block on Stolya and Roman's guide above attracted me. Bummer it was removed. Basically I want to dual wield but not be squishy. If I use a 2nd claw like you mention as a possibility in your claw Batstrike guide, won't I be blockless and therefore pretty squishy? Or is there a way to build it with tons of leech or slow or something?

Thanks
