► Skills description
Scorpion Blade is our Main skill, we'll use this one until 120. The rework on the skill added a poison cloud that stacks with each other, which is A LOT of damage. The added knives from MKV synergy is insane (you can get 8 knives just by getting to 120, up to 15+ fully geared). It melts ANYTHING that isn't poison immune, even Ubers.
MKV will be used for any poison immune and for the synergy (adds +1 knives to Scorpion Blade per 3 levels invested). Invest points in triplets to get +1 knives, if you can't, don't invest more.
Way of the spider increases our Poison Damage from Scorpion Blade by miles. We will max this skill unless you have enough damage and lack survivability.
Perfect Being is a must as an Assassin, the insane avoid will make you enough tanky that you will be set for life. Avoid is the main damage mitigation that Assassin has. Doesn't matter what build you playing, Perfect Being is a must for any Assassin. Max gear/build you can get up to 70%+.
Blink is your defensive skill. The use of this skill and its knowledge is one of the most important ones, use this in case you need to stun a pack of monsters that is going to kill you (or to teleport away to safety). Points invested here should be spent until you get around 2.6s of cooldown.
Prismatic Cloak will reduce the damage you take from the enemies. Spend the rest of points you have here, unless you are not tanky enough, then, invest more here than Blink or Way of the Spider.
Starting out:As soon as you enter the world, get your passive skill and start killing stuff, 1pt into crucify and 5pts into energy and get into the den of evil. For your first levels 1pt crucify will carry you up to level 6. Go to town, buy any throwing knife and from now on spend all points into scorpion blade and way of the spider. Go to tristram, and farm boxes. At lvl 8 get a priestess or a ranger. Pick up all runes, jewels, amulets/rings, apples, resist gems and save experience pots. You'll need

, you should be lvl 24 after you clean A2 Sewers once, always use MK1/Wychwind for poison immunes. Now, rush to Mephisto and start farming AC's (get cold resist gems on your gear). Once you have your gear to tier 3-4, time to LC1 before 50. Now rush to Baal. After this, it's time to get some money and levels, open a couple of HCows and keep all the things previously mentioned. You can do Island of the Sunless Sea too for money. Once you are done with this you should be around 60-70, fully geared up, MO'ed and ready for Terror.
► LC1
Since MXL17 patch, LC1(LevelChallenge1) is now the first challenge (rip
Volrath). Our goal here get a charm that will boost our stats, in order to do so, we have to kill a Pirate (on the entrance) and 3 Amazon Priestess and cube their drops.
What do I need for this uber?- Level 50 or lower, don't surpass it or you won't be able to cube the charm.
- You can do TA at level 50.
- You need to know ''where'' [A2 → Dry hills → Halls of the dead → Twin seas → Tran Athulua]
- You need a MAP!
- It's useful to have Blink (or any teleport source) to jump over the walls. You can do this uber without blinks/teleports.
How does this uber work?- TA(Tran Athulua) is filled with Amazon archers (they deal decent damage) and some snakes.
- There is a ''boss'' on the entrance, a ''Pirate of the Twin seas''. He drops a charm called ''Elemental Prism'', you'll need it to complete the challenges. And as always, you don't need to identify to transmute stuff.
► Show Spoiler
drops →
- These 3 bosses are surrounded by armies of Amazon archers, so don't jump into big packs.
- Each boss drops an unique Sunstone and gives you an unique swirl(you cant use fire priestess swirl to cube the ice sunstone with the Elemental Prism and so on) cube it with the Elemental Prism. Be careful, you have 30 seconds to cube it or the swirl will go off. Dying will also turn it off, as always.
- Each boss (priestess) is immune to its named element. Priestess of fire(fire immune), priestess of ice(cold immune) and priestess of thunder(lightning immune). They use Phalanx skill(Avoid at all cost or R.I.P), tremor(lowering your hp by %) and ice, fire or thunder nova on death.
Notes:You don't get experience
in Tran Athulua, so, don't worry leveling up over 50 in here.
Now you are on Terror, around lvl 65~ and your reanimates will carry you a long way. Your first objective is getting to sewers to level up a bit (until 80ish) and then proceed to get your class charm (Ennead Challenge) and upgrade it with LC2. Once you got this done, now is time to get to Baal throne. You'll need wychwind for the immunes and your mk1. For baal fight, use wychwind in a spot, and then spam scorpion blade until you can stack another wychwind.
► Ennead Challenge
Last challenge on Hatred difficulty. This one its easy if you know how it works, so, let's go.
Where is this uber located?- This uber is located in the Torajan Jungles. A new map which contains the entrance to some of the ubers in game.
What do I need for this uber?- Maximum level 80.
- All map variations: MAP1, MAP2, MAP3, MAP4. Make sure to check it out to know where are the totems and the necromancers.
- Gear check, fhr, defenses etc.
How does this uber work?- There are totems across the map, they give full immunity to all enemies in a radius. Destroy them so you can kill the mobs.
- The map is full of skeletons archers, skeletons warriors.
- There are 3 Bosses(Ennead Necromancers), one necromancer per corner but the one you appear on. They use Miasma(poison skill that reduces movement speed)
- Each Boss will randomly drop one class charm, sometimes it's a bit frustrating. Just keep trying till you get yours. Once you have your ClassCharm, cube it with a jewel (maximum level 80). This time you dont need swirls or have a timer.
This is the Class Charm (once it has been identified)
► LC2
First challenge on Terror difficulty, worry not, you can do it!
What do I need for this uber?- Maximum level 90.
- Terror Act3 → Flayer Jungle → Swampy Pit Level 3 → The Proving Grounds
- Once you get there, you can use this MAP, I recommend opening a portal on the safe blue circle zone.
- Any perfect gem ready to cube with your class charm.
How does this uber work?- Death Projector shots a spinning Mind Flay (yes, the paladin skill) in a clockwise direction. It will kill the player or any summon.
- Lure most of the mechanics away from the Projector (keep one around to remove its immunities), after this, you can proceed to kill it without being bothered by untargetable mobs.
- If any of your minions are killed around it, death projector regens hp.
- Once you killed it you'll get a swirl, as always, you have a timer to upgrade the charm (30 seconds), and if you die you'll lose it. Cube the CC with the Perfect Gem and voilà! Now it's upgraded
Notes:You gain no experience on Terror difficulty from Death Projector itself. Keep trying until you succeed
Once you did Death projector, you are free to get to destruction (no more level limit challenges). Once you killed TBaal, get to TCows, max your gear with mystic orbs, gems etc and go to destruction.
Destruction
Once you get to destruction start doing the ubers that you find on your way to dbaal that are non-poison immune and dont require purify (you can check them in
this list, order them by act and test them out. Once you are in DBaal with 15-20 easy charms/from the non poison immune ubers, its time to farm your sacred shrines in Destruction K3K to get your limpet laser build:
