Assassin Questions

I followed most of his guide and I not have a decent lvl 75 Furysin
with Gimmershred and a newly found Tiamat's Rebuke and a Demon Limb
for Enchant

I also have 2 claws with +3 to Shadow Warrior and I am 3 lvls away
from my ShadowKiller which I think wont be as good as the Gimmer even
tho the physical dam is much higher on the SK.

Now my first question is that this guy suggests to max Fade????
I am now at lvl 16 in fade and very reluctant to add more points to it

I've got Venom and Shadow Master maxed and on my way of maxing Death
Sentry

My second question would be I guess where to put my next points?



Blade Shield? ( I got no point in it at all at the moment)


Synergies of Death Sentry? Which one?


or others?


Thanks

You can put points into Claw Mastery, this will increase the damage.
IMO I wouldn't have maxed SW, its better as a one point wonder.
"pecially since you have a +6 to SW, its easy to recast.
Fade is a must, but not worth maxing out. its good to have against those
pesky mages that cast Iron Maidan. All my sins only have 1 pont in Fade,
with the help of plus items...even in Hell, having lvl8 fade is enough.
Im pretty sure Blade Sheild will add to Blade Fury. Makes me wonder if
the two together will give you 4/4 (1/4 BS, 3/4 BF)
Max it out.
You'll love having Shadowkiller with BF, the Nova that is released
releases it the point of impact. sweet.

enjoy

Its a little dated, but it works.

Another thing to do, depending on AR needs, get a blessed aim merc, then
[if you are insanely rich in runes] make an Infinity polearm for him and
then you will have lvl 12 conviction being produced, which would make
gimmer even more efficient.

The idea here is the unlisted physical damage reduction bonus for every
pt put into fade, ie 20 pts into fade = 20% phys damage reduction while
fade is active...

put pts into fireblast, which increases the number of shots for DS, ie
more CE's ;O) every 3 pts put into fireblast add one more shot to DS.

I play insane hours on BNet (Mostly in single games I must say)
but I won't even dream of Getting ONE Ber let alone Two but I really
like my Insight Partizan anyway on my current Merc.

Thanks for all the helpful info

I did get a BA Merc with an Insight and I am kinda torn now between
the Gimmer and the Shadowkiller ..seems to be 6 or half a dozen to me
