Epic as an Assassin

[Hanock]

Hi there ,

i have completed TQ a lot of times but only on normal difficulty, which is "user friendly". A few weeks ago i bought IT and i decided to start the game again as an assassin (which is said it is one of the best class as for dmg output).

Today i have finished the game on normal and i would like to have some pieces of advice about the characteristics of my assassin i have to put more attention on epic difficulty. My present stats are:

Assassin, lvl 41;
Health 3536, Energy 326, Str 489, Int 65, Dex 291;
Offence: Avg dmg 373, Atk speed 144%, Dps 536;
Defence: Armor 452 (should i increase it?);
Resist.: Fire 4%, Frost -34% ( ) Bolt -25% ( ), Poison 4%, Piercing 14%
2nd Resist.: 25% Stun;
Health regen 2.52, Mana regen 2.80, Offence 384, Defence 341, Speed 111%;
Total deaths: 11 (damned IT demon archers).

This is my build:
TitanCalc by stonedonkey - A Titan Quest Calculator - Assassin

Ok thank you for your help and sorry for my bad english. Bye!

When I looked at your stats, my first thoughts where:
What kind of equipment should this char wear?
Also when I took a look at your build I saw that you hadn't maxed out your rogue masterie (it's till 16 of the 32 points).
That could be a mistake but my first recommandation towards you should be max out your rogue masterie. In my opinion the best skills come when you max out this mastery.
I saw you used 'blade honing' and 'envenom weapon', but you didn't used 'calculated strike'. If I were you I should use 'calculated strike' to cause first of all it gives you more damage and second it has an upgrade. Those suggestions are for the rogue mastery.

Now towards warfare. I was literally shoked when I saw you didn't used 'battle rage'. That is (in my opinion) one of the most usefull skills of the hole warfare masterie. Same goes for 'warwind' and for 'hamstring' (in the 'onslaught' tree). And I should use ancestral horn to. It is very usefull against a bunch of enemies or against a boss.
And that's all for warfare.

Now if I were you I should get way more defence. When I was at lvl 41 with my paladin, I had a combined armor of nearly 800. It is also very usefull to get more strenght.

Well I wish you good luck with creating your char.
