While this build is geared more toward the poor players of the Realms, it can also be a blast for rich, seasoned veterans.

This also makes the seemingly-omnipresent poison damage in Hell quite a problem-but one that Blizzard conveniently fixed for us with some equipment. As a result, this Assassin has a really bad red potion habit, and there’s nothing to be done about it. The biggest limitation of this build is it’s almost negligible life leech. Modifying the build to include extensive use of Shadow Master is a good idea, but is totally dependent upon playstyle-I just can’t stand AI minions, so I don’t use it much. This Assassin slivers monsters using rapid attacks with at least 60% chance of Crushing Blow and delivers the final punch using poison damage from Venom and select-an-element attacks from Phoenix Strike.ĭeath is kept at bay with 50% chance of weapon block and good resistances courtesy of a high level of Fade. There are stronger builds out there, but so many guides talk about characters that wear nothing but godly items. This guide describes an Assassin build that is designed to be at least minimally playable in 8-player (or /players 8 solo games) Hell games, using only equipment that you can be sure of finding along the way, or can easily beg from your friends.
