Right way to build Throw Assassin?

On very high end with this much dex craft will beat rebel chest. All charms/trophies also solve str req issues.
Rebel is for more standard playthrough without absolute minmaxing.

1.2.0 change:
THROWING
MAELSTROM MKV:
Bonus magic damage at level 1 reduced to 10% of dexterity, down from 30%
Each nova is now 13 projectiles, down from 16

Full Dex assassin is still playable? ;D skill Maelstorm

Projectile count change is a nerf, but doesn't seem to be huge. Hard to quantify it, how many hits per target it really means on average.
Magic damage bonus nerf is very minor, it only changes one thing, at level 1 you get 10% magic bonus, instead of 30%, all the scaling per level stays same(that starts from 4% iirc and goes down to 1% per slvl at higher levels). Basically it means vs 1.1 version you lose 20 precentage points (so you will have for example 200% bonus instead of 220% previously).
tldr: it should still be very strong

Yes, loxis throwing knife, hexward, and all other abandoned craft, maybe elxis armor if you unlucky with crafts, but carft will be BIS since rebel nerf to flat dex i think.
Its really just that simple, your defence is avoid and block, your damage is dex, win.

What kind of throwing knife do you need to craft?

I'm up to 128 on your 2H Barb build (first character ever) and the first set I've farmed fully is the Assassin Throwing Set (Tracker's Creed)

Looking to mix up the playstyle and get an Assassin rolling this weekend, any advice?
