Greetings and welcome to another Diablo 2 Resurrected video! In my previous video, I showcased a fire assassin with fire traps. However, I've recently respecced to the reliable Blade Fury build for efficient Travincal runs. Tired of endlessly searching for Stony Tombs, I decided to tackle Travincal, even with less-than-optimal gear.
Currently, my equipment is not top-notch; I only possess two pieces of the Natalia set – boots and body armor. The gear is a bit scuffed, with an Artisan's Throwing Knife run and a perfect Ruby on my mercenary. While lacking optimal resistance, particularly in lightning and fire, my focus is on adding three perfect Topazes for enhanced magic find.
Here's a breakdown of my gear: a Treachery armor, Laying of Hands gloves, a rare helmet with resistances, Bloodfist gloves, and Magefist gloves. Despite their modest contribution, these items, along with a few rings and an Atma's Scarab amulet, form a budget-friendly setup. A teleport staff and any Charm from public games add to the affordability.
Skill-wise, I've invested points in Blade Skills and Shadow Master, with additional points in Claw Mastery for added damage. The Shadow Master serves as a budget-friendly tank, crucial for surviving encounters on a limited budget.
Farming Travincal with this setup is not lightning-fast, but it gets the job done. The most significant upgrade needed is either Natalia's weapon or Laying of Hands gloves, which substantially enhance damage against demons, making the run smoother.
The video emphasizes that the gear showcased is minimal and achievable even in the early ladder stages. It serves as a testament to the effectiveness of the Blade Fury Assassin, coupled with the supportive Shadow Master.
In a quick update, I contemplate running the assassin on a new ladder, despite having ample gear on my existing one. The motivation lies in the challenge and the thrill of progressing through the game, experiencing increasing efficiency, and, hopefully, stumbling upon valuable items.
In conclusion, the Blade Fury Assassin proves to be an awesome choice for efficient early ladder Travincal farming, even with budget gear. Thanks for watching, and good luck on your Diablo 2 Resurrected journey!
