Sometimes, the incredible martial
prowess and awesome psychic capacity of the Assassins are not enough to
battle all forms of magic-wielding menaces. To supplement her array of
tools and abilities, the Assassin has access to an ingenious group of
devices. These mechanisms, engineered by Viz-Jaq'taari sages, have been
perfected over many years of use. They range from simple thrown missiles
and bombs to more complex proximity-triggered sentries.
There is a limit of 5 Traps.
Traps are very effective in Normal and
later on into Nightmare. Players traveling to Hell might find traps
start to become less effective at higher acts due to Monster resistances
and Life. Traps are, however, easy to use and there is not much risk of
harm which balances this out. Traps can be used at higher difficulty
levels for additional help and the Death Sentry's Corpse Explosion
ability can be great anywhere.
