thinking of building an assassin

Yulk - Heavens Tear

I would make a female assassin soon... b:surrender the male one I made look a bit weird IMO.

I don't want to be pure DEX assassin. But I think about building my asssassin with

1.5 STR, 3 DEX and 0.5 VIT every LVL, meaning 3 STR, 6 DEX and 1 VIT every 2 LVLs.

Reason: I want more survivability on my assassin, so I figure with VIT and HP helmet would help me get good amounts of HP.

Thoughts? b:cute

Vit points aren't worth it on sin imo. 1 vit point is an extra 10hp, think that number varies dependent on class but maybe i'm just thinking of hp you get when you lvl..

That's... quite possibly one of the worst assassin builds I've ever seen.

First, you're gimping your damage for HP. Ok, fair enough. People do it, though god knows why.

Then, you're gimping your HP for... strength? For a helmet? Do you know what the change is in helmets for each grade? 15 higher strength requirement, and 25 higher HP (for 3-stars). Do you know what 15 points of vit equals? 185 HP. 185 HP > 25 HP.

If you're going to add strength beyond the LA requirements, go whole hog and get the 2.5 points per level for Heavy Armor.

I'll go pure VIT then, but I still want to use HP helmet, since I am going melee. I am better off as a tank than a DD anyways =P

Stop trolling the assassin forums...








And if you're serious, stick with your BM and don't make a sin lol

For once, I actually agree with you. +MP is a useless stat in 99.9% of situations. It's just that you'll be using ones below your level.

Notice how even archers use HP helmets. We just use ones with -requirement, or lower level ones, in order to avoid having to increase our strength. The main exception is the Warsoul of Earth, because it's simply that awesome.

As for a tanking assassin... that's an idea on par with your LA BM in terms of uselessness, really. Unless you get to endgame, and start stacking interval and perma-sparking. And I mean true endgame, as in 95+, not your apparent endgame, which is ~60 or something.
