Martial Arts skills add normal and elemental damage to the Assassin's physical attacks. Many people, for player-versus-everyone (PvE) mode, will focus on Traps and Shadow Discipline, while players with PvP in mind will substitute Traps for Martial Arts. The skill tree is split into Martial Arts, Shadow Discipline, and Traps, generally offering up a mix of two trees for strong builds. The Assassin excels at PvP combat but can also be a potent late-game PvE class. Thanks to Diablo 2: Resurrected runewords, there's even a build that allows the Assassin to use the Barbarian's Whirlwind attack. Added in the Lord of Destruction expansion for original Diablo 2, she can either kick butt with spinning heels and fists or can lay deadly traps for unsuspecting victims. The Assassin is a truly interesting class that might not get enough love. Want to be sure each attack hits true, especially in PvP? Try Guided Arrow. Want to see hundreds of arrows pass through your enemies? Choose Strafe. The Javazon is a master of the secret cow level.īow and Crossbow takes you down a different route, focusing on cold, fire, and magic damage. Poison damage will be your go-to until you reach a point where lightning damage takes over. As the name implies, you focus on dealing out massive damage with javelins. The Javelin and Spear tree is immensely popular due to the Javazon builds. It mixes well with either Javelin and Spear or Bow and Crossbow. Passive and Magic is a must due to its ability to grant you better survivability, more damage, and a Valkyrie companion. Unlike some other characters, you're generally going to choose just two branches. They are Javelin and Spear, Passive and Magic, and Bow and Crossbow. The Amazon's skill tree involves (like every other class) three separate branches.
