Medicine Man's Kicker

[Silent]

Gores I beleave give a good ar bonus if I remember reading that. Thats why they are used over Shadow Dancers. Besides Up'd they have decent kick dam

don't any of u go there any more!?

I tink i would have used a "Fury" claw if i where you.

Fury 3 Socket Melee Weapons Jah + Gul + Eth +209% Enhanced Damage
40% Increased Attack Speed
Prevent Monster Heal
66% Chance Of Open Wounds
33% Deadly Strike
Ignore Target's Defense
-25% Target Defense
20% Bonus To Attack Rating
6% Life Stolen Per Hit
+5 To Frenzy (Barbarian Only)


66% Chance Of Open Wounds

Since venom works, i think also the 66% open wounds will work there too.

If fury works with kick, open wounds% would be:
Fury 66% + Draculas 25% + Gore 10% = 101% = Open wounds everytime you make a sucsessfull hit.
That means you can get a better body armor, cause you wont need more open wounds. But duress would be fine if my theory is wrong.

My personal opinion of MA Assassins is that they all use kiras with Um.
That means that i can use angelic amulet and 2 rings wich allows me to have amazing ATR. As for elemental characters, you keep in stash:
Lightning:
2 Wisp Projecy rings, Tundergods belt.
Cold:
2 Raven Frost rings, Snowclash belt.
Fire:
2 Dwarf Star rings, Rising Sun amulet.

Boots matter a lot in kick damage. Your damage won't be spectacular White, but you'll get the job done I'm sure. Archon Duress works. Upped Gores (Myrmidon Greaves) deliver the best damage possible. Grief WOULD NOTwork, +damage modifiers DO NOT work with kicks. Silence works well too, especially VS. elemental casters. The reason I didn't mention Fury is that Deadly Strike doesn't work with kicks, and we already have plenty of Open Wounds, it will trigger with the first Dragon Talon. Keep the questions coming! Thanks for posting my guide in the Assasin Builds thread Jedi.

well i WANT my dmg to be spectacular so i guess ill try to get the gores.

Ok, thnx for the information, if you tested it out. :book2:
But why wont you use kiras? You know what a kira is, right?

[medicine_man]

Yeah I know what Kira's is, but Guillame's is THE BEST for this build. The high Crushing Blow and FHR are great. I have tested all the things I mentioned in the post you quoted, except the thing about Grief. It was, though, taken from diabloii.net. I trust that site. Kira's can be used if you're having resistances trouble.

If you want to keep your Crushing Blow on your Guillame's (me), you can use a Silence Phase Blade along with Sanctuary or the shield of your choice.

wat kind of armor shuld i make durress in cuz i got all the runes now

[medicine_man]

Yes, make Duress. It is THE BEST choice for this build, period. Do not ever exchange it or your helm out to absorb or anything like that.

[nujabes]

well my question was wat kind of armor to make duress in? archon, dusk,...?

Please read my whole post before asking a question.

EDIT: Sorry if I came off a little rude there. Any Duress works, just make it an elite armor that isn't too heavy, like Dusk Shroud, Archon Plate, Scarab Husk, etc.

[nujabes]

oh sry i guess i skipped that post
i have a 3 soc wire fleece with i think 111 str req. is that too much str or is it fine?

[medicine_man]

That's perfectly fine. With 2 Bartuc's on, you end up with about 170-180 strength anyways. Go for it.

[Aemaeth]

Nice guide dude. im using it now to make a kicker, Ive been looking for a good kicker guide for ages. *donates points*

[medicine_man]

Hey, thanks a lot man. I appriciate it. Hope you have fun, and I hope most of all you are satisfied.

[nujabes]

well some guy joined my game while i was xferin and stole my wirefleece but i have a 3soc boneweave with like 150 or so str req

[medicine_man]

Hmmmmm... Try to find a light/medium armor. Don't give up! This is an armor you'll probably use for a lot.

[nujabes]

k i guess ill find maybe archon or dusk?

[medicine_man]

Yeah, those two and wire fleece are probably the best choices. My Fleece Duress has 1030 defense, which isn't too bad.

[nujabes]

to up gores is it transmute ko + lem + pdiamond +gores?

**EDIT**
i just put 1 into venom and it didnt look like it did much for my kick.
