The Best (and worst) Charge Skills for Martial Artists - Assassin Skill Guide
Last time we covered the claw charge skills, today, we're going to look at the more mainline charge skills that work with any weapon - which contain two of the best charge skills in the game: Tiger Strike and Phoenix Strike, though they also contain the worst charge skill: Cobra Strike.
To continue with the trend of easily accessible budget builds in Diablo 2, today we're going to cover a Budget build to take the Hammerdin Paladin ( Blessed Hammer ) into Nightmare and Hell, as well as equipment options should you have trouble finding the gear you need early on. There are a lot of options available for countering bad luck in Diablo 2, which is one of the great benefits of its itemization.
While there are other builds possible, I'm only one person, so we'll release those as soon as possible - just takes time :)
Had to include that last clip just to show - yes, you can use smite on this too ;)

In Diablo 2 there are quite a few challenge builds, the Sacrifice Paladin, commonly called the Martyr, is one of the more infamous challenge builds. In Diablo 2 Resurrected's 2.4 Patch though, sacrifice is getting an upgrade, so is it something that's endgame viable? Or did they just make it a smoother stepping stone towards being a Zealot?

Sadly people often forget the ai altering skills in Diablo 2 - even though skills like Dim Vision, Confuse, and Attract can easily control enemies to the point of making them a non-issue, especially for more dangerous enemies like gloams, shamans, and dolls.

Was it worth it? Oh god no - and I'm gonna miss the Um, Jah, Ber, and Vex the most - But it's something I've wanted to do at least once in the game, so I decided to bring you along as I craft runes every step of the way from El to Zod. Unfortunately couldn't think of a way to work it into a proper full-length video, so just made it for my personal joy, and that I have reached one of my "Because I can" goals in Diablo 2 :)

0:08 - 3 Eld Runes = 1 Tir Rune

Most Guides expect you to already be high level, and have access to end game, or at least "near end game" gear - today, we're going to do the exact opposite and teach people how to handle low level Diablo 2 with a Fire Trap Assassin using Wake of Fire, one of the strongest normal difficulty classes in the game
Levels 1-40:
Strength 50-60
Vitality (the rest)
Energy (only if needed, and never after respec)
Skills:
20 Wake of Fire
1 point in Burst of Speed & Fade
Remainder Fireblast (and Wake of Inferno if that is maxed)
Optional: Shroud of Darkness / Mind Blast
Equipment:
Tir Ral Staff (Leaf)
Stealth Armor (Tal Eth)
Resistances and Mana from the rest of the gear.

Trying out a new format on these, may go back to the old one, we will see, I figured one of the Low-Level ones would be a good place to experiment.

I love mechs, and I'm oddly hooked on bullet hells lately - and that this one involves some lessons learned from autobattlers for leveling up, made it especially intriguing to me. With the additions coming with early access, this is definitely a game that's high on my list for a full review in the niche.
You can find the prelude (free) as well as the full early access version of the title on steam @ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2281480/Battle_Grid/

Some (not all) games for review may have been provided for free from the developer, publisher, or viewers - at least for newer games.
