If battle cry can why cant cloak of shadows? Having abilities not be able to affect bosses just means those abilities will never be used. Let me lower the defense of bosses so I dont have to stress as much about getting insane AR.

No it doesn’t, it never did and guess what?
No one ever usede cloak outside of pvp anyway.
Unless they changed it, it was never really anything to bother with.
ähm… wrong ?
is use it all the time in hell ? its very useful esp. against Monsters? just a one point wonder but i use it very often.
and what to do against phys immunes as kicksin ? i love kicksin but i love bladesin too and my problems with phys immunes are massive… 
i think phoenix sin is a very nice idea. im on my way to hell atm 
will see how it works.
assassin is my favourite class. great variaty from melee to caster, utility and pets. <3 And no need for Keys <3.
But its of course no class for lazy players or those who want to rush through the enemys with one click^^ no hate. just my opinion

Just make a lawbringer. You only need a lem. For my bladesin I use a lawbringer in a crystalsword and reaper toll for act2 Merc.

i will take a look. thx
You can build her as a hybrid blade kicksin. I maxed all blade skills and dragon tail. But you need the gear and you should reach max Block. I use phoenix and Forti. as weapon, 1slot lacerator and 2slot azurewrath, no more immunes, +Merc with reapers toll. And with this setup everything who isn’t fire or physical immune is 1 shot. I like to farm in nilathaks dungeon (1st and 2. Floor) it makes so much fun to Tele kick in the group and 1 shot them with dragon tail.
nice suggestions but you own stuff that i never will find ^^ (hc solo self found)
atm i play as phoenix kick-sin (phoenix, lightning claws, fire claws, max dragon talon) with one claw and maybe i switch later to 2 claws and block. lot of fun right now. hell ? dunno^^ im lvl 65 in act 5 nightmare.
dragon tail sounds funny =)
assassin offers rly some cool builds. i like that char
and i dont need keys anymore 
I think the main problem about CS is that it might be tagged as a “blind” effect and thats why it didnt affect bosses. If the -x% defense was a separeted debuff it could and should affect bosses like all the curses does. I hope they look forward on a fix for CS to make the -x% defense affect bosses.
Also would be awesome of CS could be used all the time instead of the need to wait the bonus to fade, it just could override the previous buff because theres times when we use CS and we kill all the enemies around and move on and we need another use on next area and we just cant.
Ps. I use CS all the time against archers and casters to not get hit and to make my hire lives longer.

The skill is busted in pvp, it only lowers base defense and not buffed defense from things like shiver armor/holy shield/shout etcetera.

That’s most peculiar. I use it in practically every single fight against non-bosses, so at least on person uses it.

It doesn’t even work in PVP.
I have zero interest in PvP.
It’s funny though because that guy claims he uses it in pvp. It doesn’t work in pvp, it only lowers base defense.
I’ll bow to your better knowledge on that one my friend, my experience in PvP is zero. When it comes to fighting players I’m a scrub.
AGREED.
Melee Asn builds are SO reliant on landing your strikes, missing on bosses without having insane amounts of AR is just silly.
I completely agree. Makes her nicer to have in a group with other AR reliant chars, and will help her to do better on bosses solo. I mean she IS a single target killer specialist.
What would it hurt? And it certainly wouldn’t be OP… would it? Seems like a balanced idea.
Well said! Great idea!
I also struggle with having to wait to recast this. I use it constantly as a longtime MA, and Shadow Asn player. (never ever played a trapper! Boring!)
