Disappear your enemies using the deadliest Kicker within the East: the Dragon Tail Assassin. Not much can withstand the devastating blow of the fully-charged Dragon Tail. One of the hardest-hitting abilities within the game, it one-hit-KOs most monsters inside a Full Game or /Players8 on Single Player. Bosses will also be effortlessly eliminated. Dual-wielding Mosaics in Patch 2.6 makes this build much faster and more effective!

This Assassin uses Tiger Strike to charge up its Dragon Tail finisher, dealing both Fire and Physical Damage to her targets. Elite Monster assassination is her specialty, especially once acquiring Enigma. This build can vaporize virtually every standard Farming Spot and Terror Zone using the power of Infinity, Flickering Flame, and Flame Rift.

The Dragon Tail Assassin has a suite of impressive support abilities too. Death Sentry provides additional crazy AoE damage. The Burst of Speed enables you to strike as quickly as possible. Shadow Warrior or Shadow Master and also the defensive skills Cloak of Shadows, Mind Blast, Fade, Weapon Block, and Cobra Strike provide incredible Crowd Control and survivability. Even on a tight budget, this Assassin's feet are deadly weapons.

Setup

The Starter variant from the Dragon Tail Assassin meets the minimum gear requirements for farming the Starter-tagged areas within the "Farming Spots" section above. These areas could be Solo-farmed with this setup (/Players1 on Single Player) both in Nightmare and Hell difficulty. Prioritize + to Skills, Kick Damage, Resistances, Attack Rating, Cannot Be Frozen, and Life/Attributes in your gear. Double Upgraded Goblin Toe gives you high Kick Damage. Pattern Claws offer you decent survivability and damage if made inside a + to Dragon Tail Base. Strength Claws will also be great for the early-game Boss killing because of their Crushing Blow stat. A Staff of Teleportation on Weapon-Swap enables you to travel short distances ( Dragon Flight enables you to use monsters to reposition). Follow the Assassin Leveling Guide to get an Assassin to Level 75.
