Hey,
How do i play Witchhunter assasin`s set?
What attack do i choose? Obvious choice is twin-fang, right? Does is use only one, main, weapon slot?
Second option, i guess, is batstrike. Anything else?
Sacrfices-proc - why is it there? For Hades gate?

Barrier Strike FTW. Sacrifice proc - I tried it with obliteration but it didn't really do much damage. But it creates tons of reanimates.

Always have shadow refugee buff active. Gather a bat army of 10. Wreck shit with barrier strike and twin fang.

Typical skill plan - way of the phoenix/gryphon + perfect being maxed. Rest into shadow refugee/twin fang/barrier.

Does mercs benefit from single +skill (for example, will Necrolyte merc benefit from +X to Hailstorm ammy)?

What is the "magic critical hit chance" on assasin's barrier strike?? Doubles the skill's magic damage?? Are the blades also carry this damage??

I tried fire/poison damage dealing assasin and i wasn't satisfied at all. Im thinking to try fire/lighting, but before i change to this, id like to know if there is a way to make poison damage kill things faster??

1. AFAIK ye. It's critical hit by magic dmg. And ONLY blades carry all the damage. Technically you perform only 1 hit to 1 enemy. But these blades also repel enemies that means you won't get surrounded suddenly as it sometimes happen.

2. What u mean about fire/poison? Skillplan pls. And about Fire/lightning too.
Faster? For assassin "more than one target" skills it's only -%enemy poison resists. And you can increase duration of passive poison (Way of the Spider) by equiping any item with high poison duration (for example -

I was playing this kind of sin (dual claw melee). I realized that all skills sux instead of keep Bloodbath/Shadow refuge buff on you and use Noctule to kill hordes. It's the best way to survive. But anyway bats from Batstrike helps alot. Anyway assassin is the most squishy char inthe whole mod. Even bowzon have more survivabiity.

http://docs.median-xl.com/ - Concepts - Poison damage explained

Fire/poison, i mean i maxed Way of the Phoenix/Spider and -enemy resists on these elements. I was using wormtongue for main belt also.. My idea on this setup was to spread poison with spike nova from

The Gauntlet

and some orbs on weapon but anyway i wasnt satisfied at all of how it went... so now i'll try with maxing Way of the Gryphon/Phoenix and use some spell procs on my equipment..

By killing faster i meant "draining" the life of a monster that got poisoned faster (faster than "per second")

Thnx for replies!!

Youcan increase poison damage per second only with equip another poison damage items for WDM or +poison spell damage for Twin fang. Also Shadow refuge increases your overal poison damage (AFAIK- both, wdm and spell) under synergy from Twin fang hard points (?).
Anyway if u plan to make poison as main damage- uneed at least -75-100 enemy poison resist (best is -175-200).
PS: Spike nova have 1/2 or 3/4 WDM (i think 1/2) so poison damage from weapons will multiple by this modifier. Not much worth imo. Better is even Shower of Rocks on kill (3/2 damage)

My friend and I have reached 120 on our first two chars in Median. We can farm terror cows efficiently, and have amassed a decent amount of level 100 runes. Our question is, where do we go from here? I'm playing a totemancer, and he has created his own lorenado/cold sorc build that actually is performing fairly well. We've tried the black road challenge, but faust is pretty rough still. What are some of the easier charms we could try to get out of the way early on that would help us out?
