Assassin - Wake Of Fire Trapsin - Top Tier

Build Overview

This Top Tier Wake of Fire Trapsin package uses Flickering Flame with Heart of the Oak, the stated perfect Magefist and Arachnid Mesh, Enigma and the listed charms. The level-95 plan maximizes Wake of Fire, Fire Blast, Wake of Inferno and Death Sentry, then invests 15 points in Lightning Sentry. The three listed Act II mercenary items are included.

Pros

• Fire Blast supplies active damage while Wake of Fire traps are deployed.
• Death Sentry supplies corpse explosions once an enemy dies; the listed utility skills support positioning.

Cons

• Corpse explosions require a corpse, and fire resistance remains an encounter consideration.
• The listed Faster Cast Rate does not determine trap-placement speed; no attack-speed breakpoint is promised.

How To Play

Lay Wake of Fire traps across the path enemies will take, then throw Fire Blast while the traps fire. After a corpse is available, add Death Sentry for physical and fire corpse explosions. All sentries share the five-trap limit. Use Cloak of Shadows and Mind Blast to manage groups, and Shadow Master for additional distraction. Choose Burst of Speed for movement and trap placement or Fade for its defensive benefits; these two buffs replace each other. Faster Cast Rate helps Teleport and casting utility skills, while attack speed governs trap placement. The listed fire sunder and mercenary Conviction help against fire-resistant enemies, but no universal clear-speed or immunity-breaking guarantee is made. The mercenary Infinity weapon's own enemy lightning-resistance modifier does not transfer to the Assassin.
