I am only just looking into 55 builds so I may give this a try?

Call me a noob if you like, since others have no problem calling you one! ;p But I notice in your set up you have balthazars spirit (smiting prayers) but you don't have any smiting prayer attributes? Also you say "so it is usefull to get a customized max damage smiting rod" would you not need smiting prayers attributes to use one? Please don't take those as smart arse comments!

I also see in the skill descriptions things like, when target ally.... does it also mean you cast it on your self? I assume that because others say target other ally.... but it is an assumption.

My costs would probably be greater, unless I just start a new sin for this? I may try just rolling out a new sin and giving it a go, need to sort out a grim cesta so it could be a while before I can try it ;(

Interesting idea, I thought about farming using assassins... although my idea was to put max points into shadow arts and go A/Me so you could use arcane echo on shadow form and keep it up for much longer. For the uw, I don't think that it would be that much more effecient, but for somewhere like the ToPK, where enemies will shatter whatever enchants you use and remove them with normal attacks, I'd be curious to see if it worked.

your shadow form lasts 13 seconds... this is quite a long shot from spellbreaker...
LOL! The creatures in teh underworld do plenty enough damage to trigger spirit bond. Bladed Aatxes can hit for 400 in one hit, garunteed spirit bond trigger, smites do 100s to my ranger, and darknesses do 50s, which means they will always triger on 15 AL caster armor.

Spirit Bond triggers before Prot Spirit meaning it'll always trigger in UW. Also, frenzy has NO BEARING AT ALL on Spirit Bond, i've proven this personally, along with many of my friends, and many other people.

first, blath spirit doesnt need ranks. Read the description, the rank in smiting prayers determines the amount of ADRENALINE gained, you could have 4 million smiting prayers youd still get 1 energy. It an energy management not adrenaline.

The smiting rod can be used regardless of your rank in smiting, you use the wand to deal damage, youll still deal enough to kill a nightmare easy. With 0 in smiting, ive killed a 3 nightmare spawn.

and yes target ally means cast on yourself, because i hope youre your own ally or youre gonna have a major problem.

And i love people postin, unless you say noob out of no where.



and mera, SB doesnt always trigger, against darkness's i take from 55-70 damage so it is often that it doesnt activate. Thats why i say take quest right away, the aatxes will keep you healed easy.

and koopa, you couldnt get it to last long enough, i have been thinkin around a continuos shadow form build and no luck so far.

Vote 'Yes' for Bunnies© as Pets!
I would say Obsidian Flesh[E] is a better option than Mist Form.
Anyway nice build! Like it!

as for nightmare...turn up ur speaker/headset volume, you won't miss nightmare with that! ^.^
don't risk the SS to wand them.

this seems like a useful build, as in useful, i mean gaining skill points on assassin, and exp, i think thats main challenge of having assassin now a days, since they are so hated in pve, and really dont have much of a use or way to farm in pve, good work, lets find more ways to get assassin SKILL POINTS!
