Assassin Guide (Traps) in Diablo 2: Resurrected - Best Builds (Build)

Want to know about the best Assassin build in Diablo 2 Resurrected? The Assassin first appeared in the Lord of Destruction RPG along with the Druid. While the Assassin has some great builds to offer to those who choose this class, we chose the iconic Trap build.

The Trap Assassin build specializes in creating deadly traps for demons in Sanctuary. With the right equipment and skills, an Assassin can become a true jack-of-all-trades.

Compared to the other classes in Diablo 2 Resurrected, the Stalker Assassin excels in almost every key area - she can tank hits, deal with hordes of enemies with ease, and she's fairly easy to play once you've mastered her abilities. Place lightning traps around the battlefield and set enemies on fire using fire to clear any screen filled with enemies.

Like all of our Diablo 2 builds, an Assassin build can go from normal to hell pretty quickly. Whether you're going solo in RPG or you're going to fight demons with a group of friends, Assassin is perfect as she can really do it all. Here's everything you need to create the ultimate Diablo 2 Resurrected Assassin build.

Traps features:

• You will not be able to place more than 5 traps (along with the shadow (Shadow Master\Shadow Warrior) you will also not be able to place more than 5 traps).
• Traps are extremely effective on normal and nightmare difficulties, but on Hell difficulty they lose their effectiveness due to the abundance of monsters that are immune to fire / lightning. However, Death sentry comes to the rescue, exploding corpses - it is indispensable when playing on Hell difficulty.
• Some items have the ability to reduce enemy's lower resist and / or increase damage from a certain element, but this property will not work with most traps. This is due to the fact that traps are actually conscripts (like golems) and the damage is not done by the character, but by them.
• Blade Sentinel, Blade Fury, Blade Shield: All 3 skills receive an additional 50% penalty when using two-handed weapons. For example, if you take a thunder maul (a kind of hammer with high damage), then Blade Fury will deal only 3/8 of normal damage (when wearing a “normal” weapon for an assassin, 3/4 damage will be dealt), Blade Sentinel will deal 3 \16 damage instead of 3/8, and Blade Shield - 1/8 damage instead of 1/4 damage.
• Traps work like golems or conscripts. This means that they will not receive bonuses from items with +% lightning/fire damage or -% lightning/fire damage.
