Spoiler: Tank Assassin Set (THEORIZED AT THE MOMENT

WIP

 

reserved :3

 

please, I really need a good assassin build, mine is not really working :/

 

Look at my mana steal build :3

 

Abyssal Amulet? Wasn't it 2/2 mana steal??

 

Looks nice, but what skill build are you using for it? Atm I have 67% ag 50% dex and the rest on int.
I need sp many potions to survive :/

 

ayy

 

Random roll.

 

Just some recommendations;
AGI is pretty useless now..not gonna lie. DEF is much better as a defensive option.

And you are going to be dumping a lot of emeralds into potions; especially for assassin.

 

I'll post my build soon
[Inset reserved build here]

 

AGI is quite useful for assassin tho. Air weapons usually have fast Attack speeds. It's quite effective together with high walk speed air armor.

 

Cancer gives percentage reductions. Also, Cinderchain reduces attack speed tier, plus it's a Hive Fire reward as with Dupliblaze. You can't get both Dupliblaze and Cinderchain.
