| Build Type | Assassin - Dragon Talon / Lightning Sentry Hybrid - Early Ladder |
| Main Skills | Dragon Talon, Lightning Sentry, Death Sentry, Venom, Cloak of Shadows, Mind Blast |
| Skill Target | Level 85, all 12 quest skill points |
This Early Ladder Kick/Trap Assassin combines Dragon Talon with lightning traps and Death Sentry. Upgraded Gore Rider boots provide the kick base, while the Spirit sword and Monarch add skill levels. The package includes the exact character equipment below, an Insight mercenary setup and a level-85 skill plan.
Place Lightning Sentries before engaging, use Cloak of Shadows or Mind Blast to control suitable enemies, and kick selected targets with Dragon Talon. Add Death Sentry when usable corpses are available. Keep Venom active; choose Burst of Speed or Fade to suit your speed and resistance needs, since they do not remain active together. Raven Frost supplies Cannot Be Frozen. Heal or reposition the mercenary as needed. Trap placement uses attack speed rather than faster cast rate. Check enemy immunities and use the other damage sources or choose another target when necessary.
