Big mistake Llama makes is placing traps in the middle of monster packs. This causes the lightning to shoot from the middle and hit monsters on one half of the pack. You want to convert monsters and then place traps next to your sin, away from the pack. This means the lightning hits the max amount of targets by shooting through the whole pack.

when a person just does what he loves he becomes a real professional (sorry for my English). MrLlama is the best respect from moscow

These are my favorite D2 vids. You're an excellent instructor and explainer. Thank you for taking the time to put these guided playthroughs together!

I did it! I died around 5-6 times,I found my self using the Shadow Warrior and Merc just to take things slower and kill more things and get some protection. Thanks for the guide! Assassin is definitely one of my favorites now.

Awesome run, Mr Llama! I just started my assassin run today following your guide. It's my third, after a sorceress and a necromancer. Hope to see more of these guides!

I didn’t realize how OP the assassin could be. Traps in was my first char for d2R, and I’m really enjoying the play style. I’ll be using her to do most MF for my other characters down the road.

best part about these guides is that they are not going to become outdated :D

Just want to thank you for these guides! Back in the day there were really only 1 or 2 guides that I found helpful - I think it was NIghtfish's "Fishymancer" necro and sasja's MeteOrb sorc. These were the only guides I could find with good tips on character development - most other "guides" simply documented final builds (yeah, the first guide I tried to follow was for the MF IK Barb and of course I never found more than 3 IK pieces or something like that...maybe it was more).

Thanks for the thorough guide. I finally beat hell ancients after at least 10 deaths. Baal was an absolute piece of cake after that fight.

Thank you , as you helped a lot for my 1st ever char that reached Hell HC and on Ladder , loving the build so far

Assassin is my new main after this series

Thanks MrLama, I just finished all 7 characters on plugy !!! I followed all your guided runs ! assasin was one of the easiest. I did a siger barb instead of melee otherwise impossible for me. I now have enigma too ! Now its MF time. Ill try the find item barb now :) THANKS AGAIN 3 years later still relevant

Just started my assassin watching this, good guide. I think that at 2:11:58 you should have inserted the Benny hill theme in there, I tried it and it was really funny, cheered me up.

I am using pluggy, I have finished hell with sorc and now I am farming for uniques is there any content I can do more like ubers and how can I do it? Love your content because of you I started playing and really understanding the game.

Why didn't you use your Cloak of Shadows? It's such an amazing skill! It could help you run past things easier, avoid being surrounded and it would prevent most of stuff from shooting at you, including souls that you hate so much.

"the den doesn't really have light immunes" funny last 8-9 tries at starting hell the den has had light immune and or fire immunes

Hi Llama, I just found an Um rune, what do you recommend I use it for? Maybe gloom armor as upgrade for my smoke or duress or crescent moon for my merc? Or just keep it to put in nice circlet later on?

I had trouble with Act 2 and Act 3, I got managed to find a 230%ED Bec-de-Corbin and now its much easier, the merc gets one kill on Light resist spawns, then i spam my Death Sentry. I like going slow as well and killing more things.

Years ago, running a MF trapasin on a Mac (!)... this brings back a lot of memories. But parts of me were just screaming at the screen. Quit ignoring assassin weapons! Get a merc! Blow a point in CoS and make your life so much easier when running! Would it kill you to have a SM buddy!? And so on and so forth. And still I watched the whole video trilogy LOL

Conviction does not only lower fire, cold and lightning resistances, but also magic as well as lowering your defense rating. So, it major sucks.

Quick question though: does lower resistance ever really work here in Hell Act 3? I can't seem to get anything out of it - and I could try wielding spirit instead. Act 3 currently has me pretty stumped - I think I just need to improve navigation skills - or maybe it really is time to bring in a merc (though I don't really enjoy managing them...)

@78i78i

A super late response lol, but if you are talking about lightning immune monster then yes, lowering resistance barely does anything. For monsters having 100%+ resist, anything that lowers their resists is 5 times less efficient. So if a monster has 130% cold resistance you would need a whopping 200% just to reduce it to 90% cold res. So Lower Resist wand is mostly for bringing monsters from like 70% to 30%, which more than doubles you damage. While it wouldn't have any effect on monsters with 110% res unless you are using other sources of lower res like Conviction aura, Griffin's Eye, etc.

Google is your friend, but since you've asked (already 2 weeks ago) here it is: after you kill her the first time on a character, you don't immediately save and exit to main menu, you simply go talk to Warriv and choose to go to East (Act 2). And that does the trick. After that, you can do whatever. Andriel is bugged in a way from now on, on this character, because every time you kill her, she drops items as if she was killed for the first time and to know that she is bugged, you just have to observe if she drops any gold when killed. If she doesn't, she is glitched.

Dear Mr Llama, I just finished my assassin lv1 Normal to Hell run by following this tutorial and spend around 72 gaming hours, died 100+ times, my final assassin character level is 74. I got the Hawkmail and socketed with an all resisit but I don't have a good glove and shoes, somehow I got a very nice shield "The Ward" in Nightmare and socketed with an all resist gem. So in Hell my all resist is very good with a pair of gambled rings. I would like to share my feeling that Hell Act III is very painful for trap Assassin and I keep dying in the Spider forest and the Flying Dragon Jungle. The next painful place is the Chaos Sanctuary and I was keeping dying and dying. Finally the frozen river the Hell Arrar Summit is also my nightmare just like Mr Llama said it is very painful and I just dying very quickly. * Important good advise: Don't leveling too much before Hell like me because your level 20 trap spell damage will be overrun very quickly by high level monster tough health amount. Just dodge monsters and teleport to finish quest and Don't leveling too much. * The nightmare is quite comfortable but Hell is the painful run.
