There needs to be an award given to content creators for the absolute concrete patience you have with what seems like a twitch subscriber base FULL of trolls.
BROOO this is the second time I played along with your Let's Plays. Really love the format, don't get me wrong. Your content is always very enjoyable. I've spent way too much time on UA-cam these last 10 years and you're easily in my top 10 subs ever with your kindhearted personality and competent knowledge. But by the end of the vid, you were TWO ENTIRE ACTS AHEAD of me. AGAIN. lol. WP big lama man! I'm only playing D2R for a bit over a week, but I play D3 for ages and considering you're just chill-streaming, not speedrunning... This is still impressive. I mostly take WAY more damage than you, struggle to stay alive or constantly have to town portal/buy new pots/revive my mercenary.
1. You can still dual-claw if you get Jade Talon, probably the only case where this item is actually useful. 2. I'm always surprised how you never put points into Dragon Flight for sin playthrugh, especially for this one where you already invested in dragon talon and dragon claw so it's just 2 points away instead of 4. Especially that it actually works very well on martial arts because you can teleport in the middle of the packs
Holy shit.. I just finished normal with my FoF slapper and thought "I wonder if Llama did this.." Checked YT and look at that... Just hours ago! Thanks my old friend for always delivering!
After following your Shout Barb and finishing him to Hell i started now my first Assassin following again your awsome guide - nice hint: i also got my first rune on Normal Countess TIR :)
Thanks LLama!! I just built a hybrid Tiger strike+dragon tail/thunder claw+dragon claw MAsin. So basically a physical/fire/lightning build. Effective for all areas but a bit on the fragile side. Looking forward to see how you build one
I have a phoenix strike kicksin with dragon talon, where I put just enough points to get 3 kicks and release all the charges at once. She is so much fun to play!
I did a martial arts sin pre D2R solo self found. It was absolutely awful. Playing now on switch I have 4 skillers and a 20/20 sin torch so I started a new solo self found run. (I'll pass all the loot after hell baal.) Playing it now compared to plugy is night and day. The changes to MA have made it viable lol even without mosiac claws. Keen to see how you run through it.
Dragon Claw is (imo) the best of the finisher skills...it's the only one (as far as I can tell) that synergizes with Claw Mastery. As many MA sins cap their Claw Mastery, Dragon Claw just makes sense.
@@thomasrosendahl2783 It's my favourite. I only have one sorceresss (dual firewall and orb to farm keys), one necro (summon) and one Paladin (smite for ubers). But I have a MAsin, a trapsin and a rithsin. All are great fun
The lack of Cobra strike to face tank people makes me a little sad... hehe. Skill is actually underrated imo. Can literally face tank bosses with Cobra.
i don’t understand what you mean about the tiger strike and elemental being two different styles. you build elemental charges then use the finishers to use the chargers ? they work in tandem
Double mosaic is nice and it's even better then applying charge for both claws. But it still feels cringy... As I understand, initial idea behind Dragon Claw was to make a single attack with both claws. And that's what this skill description is literally saying. As I understand, it's just Blizzard didn't make a separate animation for such attack and made easier implemantation/version of it: fast attack with both weapons one at a time. But from what I understand both hits are supposed to consume single charge instead of 2 charges and also these 2 hits from single Dragon Claw attack are supposed to gain the same charged bonus for both hits. Wasn't it that way in previous versions? 🤔
finally got to c mrllamasc MAsin! MAsin seem to be fun, i rmb immediate start and MAsin right after LOD launch, she is very strong at the beginning, handle p8 easily, but then start to falls off quite bad in nightmare without gear, as before u can charged up at least 3 charges for ok dmg, ur hp drop faster then charges charge up due to problem to land hit and mobs start to hit hard.. but with the recent changes that release only one charge per time, probably helped the class quite much as u can release(3rd)-charge-release(3rd)-charge with just one repeat successful hit, i think i need to try her out again.. btw, few question: 1) tiger strike and cobra strike just calculate based on the physical damage done by claw right? last time i like to charge up all the charges then blow up in one blow where i feel the tiger strike would multiply all the damage and cobra will steal tremendous amount of hp/mp with the super explosion of every charges 😅 2) do u notice shako colour go wrong (light brown) on character model on character select screen? (with recent patch, not sure with 2.5 or the minor patch after) 3) i found ghost CAN'T be cold/chilled even with HF (Hell), is that normal? memory said it works before (with recent patch, not sure with 2.5 or the minor patch after)
i played an Assassin using tiger, viper and pheonix but i played my whole playthrough with 2handed swords. at the end i had a grandfather XD mostly using tiger and viper to kill stuff but with pheonix for AOE and phys immune lol
So, in a Phoenix Strike build, you don't put points into Claw Mastery skill for added AR/damage/CS? That only affects the physical aspect of the claws and not the elemental damage? Am I understanding that correctly? Or will it benefit the finishing moves and their charged-up damage?
If you mean Dragon Claw, that's correct, it only increases the single-target physical damage (and attack rating) so letting you use two charges at once is where it's truly valuable. Solid one-point wonder with + to skills
@J E No, I'm referring to the Claw Mastery skill in the Shadow Discipline skill tree. I might have messed up and called it Dual Claw Mastery or they changed the name of the skill in a patch. Either way, the description reads as "Passive effect that improves claw-class weapons which increases AR, Dam, and Crit Chance."
omg i watched señor Llama pass at least 5 (not kidding) FÜNF gems in the 1:13:11 I've watched and I died inside each time!!!! I thought this was a guide but turns out this is a torture film 😭😭😭
39:12 he says he didn't get a D4 beta invite? but there's a screen capture on reddit from one of his streams where it showed he had D4 beta installed. What's the catch? screengrab here, i.postimg.cc/dJDSSJnP/Unt342234itled.png
This screen is from months ago where the "private" alpha/beta took place, not the upcoming sorta public closed beta. As someone who obviously already took part in the "private" alpha/beta, he most likely does not need an invite to the upcoming beta, as he is already "in". Besides the upcoming beta is under NDA, which means you can not talk in public about it. And while I guess the pure acknowledgement being part of the beta is not forbidden it is probably better to deny it to avoid any discussion that might lead to accidental leak of confidential information.
@@playerone6434 the game is in flux, constant change. if he was part of alpha but not beta, then it means he was discarded, not that he's automatically in. from his tone in the video, he seems upset/ disappointed about this. I don't think he would lie about it if he was in.
Ya finally a play-through! Super excited, love these
“There’s a guaranteed boss there, the majority of the time” 😂😂😂
95% of the time, there's a boss there every time

Super stoked to see this. Elemental assassin has been my favorite since launch!
just realized I haven't seen Llama video in my feed for a while, go check and new let's play vid. made my day!

These let's plays are my most favorite content you make llama.

Yesssssss another lets play. Love these. Thanks for posting and the hard work mrllamasc!
Time to give credit when you deserve it Llama , these guided playthroughs is what evrerybody wants. But dont do the pits with your Berserk Barb okay?
Holy shit.. I just finished normal with my FoF slapper and thought "I wonder if Llama did this.."
Checked YT and look at that... Just hours ago!
Thanks my old friend for always delivering!

FINALLY! My first d2r build and I loved it can't wait to see llama optimize it
Thanks LLama!! I just built a hybrid Tiger strike+dragon tail/thunder claw+dragon claw MAsin. So basically a physical/fire/lightning build. Effective for all areas but a bit on the fragile side. Looking forward to see how you build one
this build is actually super fun to play its fun managing charges and figuring out which elemental charge to release very differnt build
I like this kind of videos of yours ) it make me go back to diablo again ) Thank you!
Happy B-Day MrLlamaLlam! Don’t agree with your 30 thing, when I turned 30 my life kept on going better and better since now 🤙🏻 Enjoy!
Man I played the hell out of this game when It came out when I was 11. One of my all time favorites. I hope Diablo IV is better than the third one.
here from the future. sadly it wasnt
Ah yes, the dark sheep spec of diablo 2. Gonna enjoy this since i love the combo system.
I have a phoenix strike kicksin with dragon talon, where I put just enough points to get 3 kicks and release all the charges at once. She is so much fun to play!
I did a martial arts sin pre D2R solo self found. It was absolutely awful. Playing now on switch I have 4 skillers and a 20/20 sin torch so I started a new solo self found run. (I'll pass all the loot after hell baal.)
Playing it now compared to plugy is night and day. The changes to MA have made it viable lol even without mosiac claws.
Keen to see how you run through it.
New lets play of the best one ! 🙆♂️🔥
Nice - great to see what this can do now.
Do you ever go live on UA-cam? Or just twitch? Love the content, always my go to for D2
Dragon Claw is (imo) the best of the finisher skills...it's the only one (as far as I can tell) that synergizes with Claw Mastery. As many MA sins cap their Claw Mastery, Dragon Claw just makes sense.
I want more assassin! I definitely want to try martial arts really work
The assassin is either the second or 3rd best class, behind the Sorceress and Necromancer/Paladin.
@@thomasrosendahl2783 It's my favourite. I only have one sorceresss (dual firewall and orb to farm keys), one necro (summon) and one Paladin (smite for ubers). But I have a MAsin, a trapsin and a rithsin. All are great fun
Favorite run so far thank you!
Always love your contents Mr.LlamaSc and i would like to request a play through of bottle throwing Barb.
I'm so glad MA is viable now! Why don't you use boots or a merc?
The lack of Cobra strike to face tank people makes me a little sad... hehe. Skill is actually underrated imo. Can literally face tank bosses with Cobra.
What do you recommend between Dragon Talon and Dragon Claw?
i don’t understand what you mean about the tiger strike and elemental being two different styles. you build elemental charges then use the finishers to use the chargers ? they work in tandem
they should keep chocolate milk, because cow is usually a buy/sell. it makes it so you want to keep cow till level 2/3
I'm excited for this one
Nice!!
I think your next challenge will be a speedrun using only one hand. (or have you already done this?)
I appreciate martial art assassin players
Keep these coming!
I played with this character and had fun in normal and nightmare and hell everything fell apart.
Is worthless and useless, the only thing this character is good is for ubers and there is better options lol

Thank you for the video. I really didn't want to play with trap build. It looks like too much mage for an assassin class
YESSSSSSS FINALLY MAPS-Sin guide now i can respec n do this correctly
Is there diminishing returns from upscaling your difficulty when your higher lvl than monsters... as a starter.... also... y no merc?!🤔
Would this build be good for Season 2?
Tom Brady is like the MyLlamSC of the NFL
Also happy birthday!! (if not belated when this uploaded)
Feliz cumpleaños Llama!
omg i watched señor Llama pass at least 5 (not kidding) FÜNF gems in the 1:13:11 I've watched and I died inside each time!!!! I thought this was a guide but turns out this is a torture film 😭😭😭
@3:07:57 .. "give yourself the clap" oh my, not interested in that Mr. Llama LOL
Do these changes make the shadow master stronger ? Ie when they kick they also release all 3 charges
Did you loot that sweater on the sheep king? 🐑 👑
Lma...🤪 silly its 6 days old and I'm still wondering why lama ain't got a merc.... I love this guy
I hope that sweater is actually a llama onesie!
can u play fend amazon once ? :) never saw it ...or poison amazon
I really enjoy the lesser used character play through as martial arts assassin is to tedious to play as a player
Season 4 made this build soooo fun.
Where can I find such a fuzzy hoodie? I want one now haha
2:20:00 Llama there's no way I'm skipping the shopping music!
I miss my old Tele whirlwind assassin
i’ve been running this build it’s fun
What armor is mr llama wearing? 😊
You didnt get an invite, but you are my favourite D2R player. I sad for you.
hi, no more pure kick-sin ?
Never understood why some people got upset that they made the assassin asian in D2R when she has a martial arts skill tree.
People were upset that they made her Asian? Hahaha
A black knight ?
@@KMFlivin it worked for Martin Lawrence
@@KMFlivin what's wrong with a Black Knight? It's not like the game is going for realism.
@@GimmeSkooma race traitor
He types faster than I can talk
all hail princess llama
LLama became a monk.
is attack rating damage? or more like accuracy??
lmao "give yourself the clap chat" LUL
good auld LlamaSC...
Blade shield challenge for next sin playthrough lol
teleports needs to be nerfed. Needs a cooldown added - like 5-10seconds
Why did he get so upset when drbatmane subbed? 1:36:55
And flight is what?... chop liver?
they really should add /players 8 to online play
i am late to the party here. but i hate looking at his shirt...sweater..hoody..thing...but also i bet its warm as hell and i want one.
Yes yes yes yes!
THROW BARB GUIDED PLAYTHROUGH!!
Try this on a controller. 👌
I think I currently have the best mosaic on ladder
hahaha... Princess Llama Organa
How can people play this game with the map over the game like that. That drives me insane.
didn't realize there were people that didn't keep the map open lol
link that sweater :)
42 yers OLD, not yeang!

Please stop making kissing noises >
Lisp too distracting
Boring
