I chose Traps as secondary skills for two reasons: safety and efficiency. The very rapid attack with very few skill points invested really made the skill attractive to me. Dragon Talon had never really been a widely used skill and with the arrival of 1.10 it suddenly became a very interesting asset of the Assassin. I chose to do this build because it was quite unusual at the time.

My Dragon Talon/Trapper Assassin is my 3rd Assassin character and also the character I’ve enjoyed most of all, hence this guide. It was not until the beta patch for 1.10 that I discovered the Assassin, which quickly turned to be my favorite character. There’s also been Javazons, Bowazons, Bonemancers, Javbarbs, Charged Boltresses, Avengers and so on. I’ve played several different characters up until now, my first one was a Druid with skill points all over the place. I’m a Swedish University student who has enjoyed the game of Diablo 2 since it’s release a few years ago. My name is Patrik, though I go under the nickname of C-Beat here on the forums.
