Diablo 2 Assassin Starter Trapsin Build Guide

Diablo 2 Assassin Starter Trapsin Build Guide

The Diablo 2 Trapper or Trapsin build is the most popular assassin build, and with good reason.

Diablo 2 Guide: Dragon Talon/Trapper Assassin

My Dragon Talon/Trapper Assassin is my 3rd Assassin character and also the character I’ve enjoyed most of all, hence this guide. I chose to do this build because it was quite unusual at the time.
