Diablo II Resurrected is such an engaging experience thanks to the amazing freedom the game grants players, allowing them to tackle the many challenges found in it with different classes, builds, and gear. While some classes and builds are more difficult to use, and some clearly inferior to others, it’s very important to know everything there is to know about them to make an informed choice.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Assassin class and all skills it can learn.
Overview
Assassins in Diablo II Resurrected are powerful dual-wielding warriors that have a vast array of diverse skills at their disposal. The Martial Artes tree includes powerful elemental charge skills as well as powerful physical ones that make her incredibly versatile, while the Shadow Disciplines and the Trap trees further expand her possibility, granting her some additional tools that truly make her deadly such as the ability to summon allies and lay traps to catch enemies unaware.
While the variety of skills the Assassin can learn make her an excellent choice of class, not all her builds are meant for beginners. Focusing on Traps is a good way for beginners to play the Assassin, as she does not rely on gear and can deal damage safely from a distance. A Martial Artes tree focus build, on the other hand, requires good gear to be viable.
