[Overview] Psi-LightningTrap Assassin (CE 7.55)

<< < (3/3)

webwalker:
@TopHead: Yes Death Sentry (DS) shoots lightning AND does CE on corpses which is 50/50 fire/physical damage.
@Olfmo: Yes "Scintillating" is the prismatic (allres) prefix.
@Fenris: I don't care who writes the guide!  Let's all write and glue the pieces together!
    I believe the unique Quehab is "corpseflayer".  I'll start looking for Torturer's Trust per your recommend.
Edit: I have stopped looking for Torturer's Trust since (1) it requires level 83 (not your typical beginner or intermediate item) and (2) the +7 skill boost is across 30 possible choices.  This means that 1 in 30 of "Torturer's Trust" will be with +7 to Psychic Hammer, on top of the chance for the scissors base item being elite on top of the chance for the item to be unique, ergo I conclude that gambling 2 Torturer's Trust with +7 to Psychic Hammer to cost a huge amount of time.  Enough timt to build another two assassins!
Recommend instead: gamble a rare scissors item with +2 assassin or shadow disciplines skills (+Psychic Hammer in addition is good but I wouldn't hold my breath!) then put in 3 sockets and make Darkenss (Zod Amn Vex) for +3 skills and 20-40 allres.  You can build this at level 69, you can't gamble Torturer's Trust until about level 78. (After you've gambled a scissors weapon, you can re-roll it's mods with 1 rare charm until you get the +2 skills you want).
    My equipment comments were all aimed at getting the beginner started.  Yes a crafted flail might get better results in +skills, my recommending "monster flee" and Ignore Target's Defense" was to use this CtA weapon as the Blade Fury weapon also, AR is a serious concern there since CtA can't be in a claw.
    You ask about my skill level: 45 (roughly) with maxed Psychic Hammer, Cloak Of Shadows, and Mind Blast; add Mara's Kaleidoscope, a Siren's Call in a +1 assassin skill circlet; a +1 all +1 assassin ring, 2 CorpseFlayers, and the rest is in resists (80/80/80/80 in NM).
    I've heard from others that crafted items CAN be tempered... what's the truth here? NO! (unless changed by Chaos without letting us know.  Thanks, Olfmo.  (BTW we can now cube runes UP as well as DOWN.  7.58 allowed cubing down, but up only for thul and above creating higher runes.  As of last night 3 el -> eld and so on in 7.59 )

--- End quote ---

crafted items can NOT be tempered it's just one of the usual stupid rumors (as the one last ladder where people saod cubing 25 dolls creates a GubbelGubbel, or the one that you can only use oils of hardening for sockets (really old^^) and so on *g*)

unless chaos changed it in 7.58/59 but i don't think so^^

or try this:

Required Level: 78

+[75-125] Defense
+1 to All Skills
+[1-5] to Lower Resist
+10% Faster Cast Rate
[20-25]% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items
-The Hands of the Mummy(uber) would be the best

Boots
-Zeroeffect ( % absorb is very usefull)
-travincals(resistance ar good)
-Whirlign Dervish(maybe for dungeon rush whirlwind wood be good,if you hav no chaos claw)
-The Boots of God(uber)

i´ve found some in the itemlist

Required Strength: 25
Required Level: 67

+3 to All Skills
[200-300]% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items

but there are 2 road to perdition watch out that you have the right ones!

Belt
-Blood(+2all )
-Bul Kathos Belt
-Time (for teleport and life)
-Lachdonnans Wrap
-Wisdom Wrap
-Kashya´s Ward(absorb is good)
-The band of Chaos Empire(uber)

also try to find all soulstones and a +5 any and queens call(charm +1all)/life and death(charm +all)
skiller would be good too

uber are the best items but i´m not sure if you´ll find them
if you´ve got a skilllevel over 100 think about use items with less +skill but other use full effects

so on have fun
dmg would be around 90-100k with psyhammer^^
