Hello stranger.

So as the title says, new to Median. Started playing a friend recently and enjoying the game thoroughly. Running through the story, hitting and we just finished act 3. Currently running a trap sin build. The damage is okay, but I'm completely squishy. I'm coming to the reality that I just don't like the build, and wasted my respec early on so I'm kind of stuck.

So this brings me to my question. Basically, looking for suggestions for a character / build. Something on the tanky side, that isn't too gear dependent, and must be beginner friendly. Don't really know how to gear my character quite yet either. So it would be nice to get by with just the basic runewords and whatever other drops I may find. Any suggestions, discussion, or criticism is welcome. Thanks!

Imo the easiest early game build for a sin is to run around using backstab with the TU nagi. The other gear is up to you.

Again, new to the game, so I'm not quite sure what TU nagi means?

Tiered Unique Naginata

It is a unique for 2 handed weapon of assassin (kinda long pole arm) which you can create by using cube recipe.
Read and refer to documentation (top of this website: Game -> Documentation -> Items -> Cube Recipes

You will find this :

Reroll any Item to Unique

This powerful recipe uses the reagents obtained by disenchanting other uniques to turn any tiered item of your choosing into a unique. But choose wisely, because the crystals are precious and costly to replace.

Any non-sacred item + Oil of Enhancement + Arcane Crystal x2 → reroll item as unique

Ah, thank you, and thanks for posting the recipe. Finding specific information / recipes can be difficult at times.
Someone suggested a bowazon as well. So I'm gonna try that also.

Nagasin becomes really squishy later. At lvl 70 specifically for me.. the iframes on backstab drops. Paladin and barb are generally the two tanky chars imo.

Im not pro in this mod but i can tell that bowzow is even more squishy due to Estatic Frenzy. Dmg is fine but you have literally 0 def.

That's kind of the point. It's a build based on kiting your enemies. Float like a butterfly, and sting like a bee. Stick and move! Stick and move!

sadly there is no "tanky" build for any char in median, every single char is open to the cheesey 1-2 hits deaths from some mobs/boss's, no matter your rese and life and deffences, just the way the game is, sadly
