How does this Assasin Build stack up?

[Paul_G]

I'm just wondering how this build stacks up. Anyone specializing in this build type have an oppinion? I can provide details on gear if that is usefull. In warfare I am max in Weapon Training, Dual Weild, Hew and Crosscut and nothing else. In Rogue I am max in Blade Honing, Calculated Strike, Lucky Hit and Flash Powder I'm at 6 / 12 in Lethal Strike. My most often used tactic is to rush in to a group and Flash Powder then take out the meanest mob with Lethal Strike and finish up the rest hopefully before they recover from the flash powder. I play exclusively Solo so I don't have any idea how I do compared with other ideas on builds. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

drop calculated strike and lucky hit, work on the onslaught tree. much much better. also, put at least 1 point into warwind to see if you like it, ww into a group, drop your flash, mop up the rest.

I have a level 32 rogue, just got through normal. Alot of rogue builds I have read make it seem like Nightshade and mandrake are a must with Flurry of Knives maxed. Essentially, instead of running into the mobs, you throw ur knives to apply the poisons then go in and slay away. From what I have read, since your not going to have a shield, it will be deadly to go up to a group of mobs and THEN use flash to effect them. It is much wiser/safer to effect them from far away then move in for the kill while most are fumbling around.

Also, most ppl agree that onslaught is superior to CS. There is a very long winded post about figuring up the dmg difference and such but I prefer onslaught for the synergies, ignore pain and Ardor. But I suspect that towards endgame I will spec out of ardor only because my equip will add the attack speed and run speed I need/want.

Again, I have only been through normal and in Epic Greece so most of my info comes from trolling the forums not first hand experience =o\

Ok, I've made most of the changes suggested, dorpped calculated strike and lucky hit, went with onslaught. Problem now is; with the previous build I didn't have to contend with the power consumption that onslaught needs, so for now my extremly low intellegence is a henderance. I'll be fixing that as soon as I can.

I had/have the same problem. I got a small energy leech stat on a weapon and I never had another problem. But now that I am back in Greece and no one has mana, I have the problem again. I don't know how to contend with this but I do know that putting points into INT is prolly not a good idea at all.

better put a few points into energy or buy low level energy potions

use an epic spirit charm on one of your amus/rings and problem is solved

any advices about assasin skills? building one right now, but I could use some help

Dual wield line,onslaught,poison line(mostly mandrake,nightshade) and maybe knives are good starters.Also battle standard and warwind,war cry if ur going full mellee.If u prefer traps maybe relying more on rogue skills like poison(again) and flashbomb for defense.
