The thing between shadow master and shadow warrior is that shadow master casts mind blast which can be pretty annoying sometimes but also sometimes it can actually be pretty nice. Shadow warrior mimics your actions which is pretty useful
I played the ww assassin a lot. I found out extremely late that the best build is poison ww. You got the build almost complete. Use the bramble, trang ouls. The offhand is either a magical claw with attack rating and max damage based on character level. Gives you huge atr. Or what I used was an eth jade talon with zod. It give 50 all res so it helps to max your res after fade. Then the most important part... All poison small charms. It makes the build truely shine, trust me. Then in second weapon slot use a lower resist wand for -poison resist.
Shadow Dancer's with +2 Shadow Discipline roll are actually really nice. They are mainly used for kicksin builds though. For PvM, Bramble > Duress. You can always put a Fortitude on if you want physical damage. Venom + Bramble + Trang gloves = lots of poison damage. Fury runeword is also better than the Bartucs.
Nice Bartuc's you have there I only got a 193% damage, but socketed it and named it with Anya, if you have resist problem you could throw in an allres jewel, if you need more damage than Ber (I found once a Ber with an assassin only had to play the game for 16years to find one) or a poison facet, I think Venom is a huge damage bonus. I play a dual claw hybrid trapsin and use trangs gloves .+25% posion damage is awesome, it pumps up your venom when you cast it and also gives the +25% when you hit the monster. Crushing blow is great against bosses but for mobs venom+WW is better, I actually try to have both. I also like to use mind blast it can shut down Ball wave 5 and all the deathlord champion packs.
man, it is not the thing that laying of traps is interuptable or so. but you have weapon block. it blocks everything, like almost every attack. so when there are some mages, souls, maybe li ench etc. you will be bloking a lot. thats why ww assa pvm is annoying for me. you can be interupted even during ww. kicker is imho definitely more fun and stronger. i would recommend you to implement mb into your combo, which is great skill from many reasons. nice video as always!
Venom is better than you are giving it credit for. If you stacked poison charms you would be doing significantly better. I like making blade shield the same duration as BO so it feels more natural. Idk though I just use blade shield with rift so idk if it is worth it without rift in a pvm setting.
Oooh yeh new vid HYPE! Love the fact that ur using corpse explode trap for this build, first time I see a WW sin take advantage of that, very clever! Im 99% sure u get like a big breakpoint in ur trap laying speed if u put a shael in the bartuc's and use wsm bug (re:equip ur slow claw(glove side) u need to do this re:equiping thing every time u use BO or wep switch in general, Im using this "bug" on my trapper to reach max trap speed with a Scissors Quhab+Greater Talons wich are same attack speed bases as Suwayyah & Runic Talons. Great vid btw, really hope u do more ^^
well, long story short is that ur tricking the game to not understand how to calculate ur avrage weapon speed. How to do it? u use 1 fast claw (-30) Runic Talons/Greater Talons and 1 slow wep (0)Scissors Quhab/Suwayyah/Scissors Suwayyah for example. U get 19 or more ias on ur FAST wep (Runic talons or Greater Talons) put the fast claw on boot side, and ur slow claw on glove side, click on the slow claw so ur "lifting" it up and hold it on ur mouse, then equip it again and u will get WSM bugged and reach max trap laying speed. if u really wanna read up on it and try to understand how/why this works im sure theres some guides out there that can explain it much better then I can ^^ should be easy to find on google :)
Maybe the hybrid would work with treachery? LVL15 venom and fade is not that bad with maxed traps. I'm playing this right now, but "wasted" my first Ohm in CTA and just rocking dual upped Bartucs with Dragon Claw. Traps kill everything not lightning immune and I Dragon Flight focus down the LI monsters one by one while the sentries kill the rest, very effective and safe as shadow master+merc also teleports with you and monsters tend to hit them not you. But I think I will rebuild it when I have my second Ohm I hope I will find a "shwuuuahajjyya" with 1 to Dragon Flight on the way. Some noob build like: Shako+Maras+Chaos+Treachery+Bartucs+Trangs+RavenFrost+ManastealRing+Verdungo+Goreridder, as you see I want to keep tons of +all skill for the traps the WW will be more of a support against LIs.
@@kruggers1329 I did not let go the plan to make a crazy good ww/trapper sin, but I had to move the char to my plugy D2, I played only vanilla for the last 5-6 years. So I did around 1000 LK runs and was very lucky: got my Infinity, got my second Ohm for Chaos and another Ber for my upped Bartucs. I'm still missing a Ravenfrost and the Gorerider, life of a selffound charcter, could also use a cham in my Shako :-) Once I grinded out my Torch and the missing items, I will give you another feadback how it went. My goal usually is to be able to do very fast and safe /players3 baalruns (as Baal caps out in XP on players3 and I'm to lazy to set the playercount between Baal/Baalwaves), if the build turns out to be strong and fun to play maybe this assassin will be my first lvl99 character :-)
@@kruggers1329 Hi, an update for my ww/trap hybrid: shako, mara, chaos(+3LS), enigma, bartucs(+Ber), bloodgloves, ravenfrost, arachnid, bul-kahtos, goblins(upped) on switch cta/spirit. Might merc with vampgaze+treachery+infinity. Just got my first torch 1min ago :-) Lesser übers are a pushover with lowerresist and WWs, well Lilith needs lifetap, was very quick. Über meph,diablo,baal was impossible at the moment to do with WW, I wish I farmed for a combatshrine to boost my AR. I had a token of absolution so I reseted to a kicker and had Fleshripper in my stash which is the best (imho) überkiller for a kicksin and so they died very fast. Had to chug like 10 fullrejuvs also feeded the merc. And I got a Necro torch, woooohoooo XD I lacked AR for the übers, but I think too much AR is overrated if you are using infinity merc and your character is above lvl90 I also use cloack of shadows or Battle cry from CTA on act end bosses this overrides lifetap which would be the best for über I think BattleCry+Lifetap WW would not be a problem. I will farm up keysets until I get an assa torch and will do some WW test with combatshrine. This is the best character I ever had in singleplayer, the traps are overpowered and with chaos you just have some fun on the side :-) The budget version with double bartucs+Treachery+bloodglove+gorerider using dragon claw was also much better then a trap only. WW sin also has some crazy properties: you do not need cannot be frozen, you do not need IAS (well you still need it for laying traps, my bloodgloves have 20IAS), you do not need FRW (use burstofspeed in town, then just teleport). WW hits the most if you move slow and you are chilled (=not slowed like from holy freeze), you will still attack 2 frames speed, but with the reduced movement you will stay more inrange of your target, also a slow moving WW is much better to control, I sometimes have trouble to execute the triangle of death around a boss, some slowdown helps.
Venom/ Shadow Master/ Fade are pretty good ya. Death Sentry kinda "cheating" but its sooo good. I'm actually using blessed aim merc atm. Also currently using blade fury (i dont have chaos yet) for a ranged attack and so i maxed that out. I also use Cloak of Shadows, only place one point in it so its not too long but ya i love that skill.
Well,you did it pretty good.I mean for this char to be best possible U would need a whole sets,full stash of very expensive pre buffing gear so I'm not gonna talk about that.But what you could do,with what you have is to use that bramble and trangs for prebuffing venom,mb leave trangs even though your crafted gloves are good,swap mara's for highlords(use mara's for prebuffs) and that circlet is good but gul face might be better,if you have a dual leech ring...And yeah,traps are shit even with maxed ls and ds and perfect claws(+3ls,ds),that's why if U want a true ghost-trap hybrid U need an infinity,and trust me after a lot of wasted time and life with ww sin,I can say that is the best...About Barctuc's you could put a 15/40 and use a wsm glitch and that should be a max trap speed(9 frames),-62 is req for that,U would have -65 if I'm correct...
lmao @ pronouncing suwayyah hahaha I tried too xD for pvm melee chars should socket weapons Ber for CB. But I Think you should use fury runeword on your other hand for sure. As for armor Forty or enigma.

Glorious day when kruggers uploads
you could use a shadow killer on the off hand it has +2 freeze target wouldn't need a Lo
the long awaited kruggers13 upload

Hey man, been a long time!
I really wanna make one of these so I'll probably follow your guide, if I ever build up enough wealth.
Question: when do you finish a char?
til you get bored?
anyways good bid
Kenet?

Why not stack rainbow facets for the added elemental damage, or run a jewels over runes?
Don't work with traps, only with fire blast.
Looks cool, nice Durress & RavenFrost

haha dang dude. Sounds like a pretty sick build. Love the dedication haha you should put a vid up
Love these vids man.

Nice video. Beings be back to when I had a ww assasin. I would throw a eth rune in that bartucs.
Nice video man. I have problems with my assassin on hell. I can't find good items. Can you review my clip and throw some advice?

Good pvp advice for sure and some good pvm but I wouldn't spend 3 minutes prebuffing for a 5 minute run time.
