Snapjacks is the 5th character from my eBotD Sept. She's quite straightforward, Tiger Strike with a normal attack finisher for the staff. Throw in a merc and shadow for some support and it's game on.
Inroducing Snapjacks, the eBotD Archon Staff-Wielding Tiger-Striker!
Let's get to some stats first, and some thoughts later.
Stats:
Name: Snapjacks
Class: Assassin
Experience: 1168731262
Level: 86
Naked/Gear
Strength: 89/136
Dexterity: 20/74
Vitality: 391/461
Energy: 25/55
HP: 1391/1640
Mana: 150/190
Stamina: 664/798
Defense: 5/2233
AR: 100000064/100000871
Fire: 125/85/25
Cold: 75/35/-25
Lightning: 131/91/31

Tiger Strike: 20/29
Mind Blast: 11/12
Fade: 20/21
Venom: 20/21

Standard stuff here, the only wrinkle is not taking a finishing move. The sept rules dictate all kills must be done with the staff, so that's that. Extra points were pumped into Mind Blast for some help in the corwd-control sector.

Head: Guillaume's 'Um'
Body: Treachery
Weapon: Reaper's
The Journey:
If you want to read her adventures, they are in the sept thread as follows:
Norm/NM
Hell
Gameplay shots:
Between her and the shadow, there were always lots of fireworks:
Fade party in the Halls of Vaught! Good luck finding anyone in there.
I love CoS. Combined with MB and the Decrep from Reapers and you have a hell of a crowd-control arsenal.
Some Thoughts:
- She did have a couple early deaths, mostly due to me not gearing her out properly or paying attention. Her one death in Hell came from Dolls, again mostly due to me not paying attention.
- I originally thought Normal attack finisher was going to be a bit of a bummer, but honestly it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I expected AR issues, but was able to mitigate them with gear and a BA merc.
- Left treachery on the merc so he would be ethereal too, when the shadow used fade it was the whole group which was kinda fun.
- I think I may just not be very good at playing assassins, but she never quite felt durable enough to take into the middle of the fray by herself. She had great life, resists, and DR% from fade but it still felt dangerous unless I had my cohort with me or CoS/MB going.
- She never struggled for killing power on/p8. Not against act bosses, the ancients, or even really PIs. Sure, they were slower, but they still died very reasonably.
- Great fun, I really enjoyed her. Next time I make a MA sin I want a proper finisher though.
Thanks for reading, as always!

The Journey:
If you want to read her adventures, they are in the sept thread as follows:
Norm/NM
Hell
Gameplay shots:
Between her and the shadow, there were always lots of fireworks:
Fade party in the Halls of Vaught! Good luck finding anyone in there.
I love CoS. Combined with MB and the Decrep from Reapers and you have a hell of a crowd-control arsenal.
Some Thoughts:
- She did have a couple early deaths, mostly due to me not gearing her out properly or paying attention. Her one death in Hell came from Dolls, again mostly due to me not paying attention.
- I originally thought Normal attack finisher was going to be a bit of a bummer, but honestly it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I expected AR issues, but was able to mitigate them with gear and a BA merc.
- Left treachery on the merc so he would be ethereal too, when the shadow used fade it was the whole group which was kinda fun.
- I think I may just not be very good at playing assassins, but she never quite felt durable enough to take into the middle of the fray by herself. She had great life, resists, and DR% from fade but it still felt dangerous unless I had my cohort with me or CoS/MB going.
- She never struggled for killing power on/p8. Not against act bosses, the ancients, or even really PIs. Sure, they were slower, but they still died very reasonably.
- Great fun, I really enjoyed her. Next time I make a MA sin I want a proper finisher though.
Thanks for reading, as always!
