Well, I'm getting bored of most of my games right now, and am just waiting for Battle of Middle Earth to come out. It promises to be the best RTS in some time, so I've got my hopes up for it.

So, the (not-so)lucky game that I've chosen to while away my time is Diablo 2. Mindless entertainment. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

And, naturally, I'm going to be playing SP, as they get all of the ladder only items anyways, I'm getting tired of PK'ers and there's no lag. All of which are good things.

1] I'm going with a heavily defensive trapping Assassin. I can clearly see the advantages of having a Shadow Warrior; extra Traps, and extra converting power. Is their lower Attack Rating really a problem? And how come the guide says that they have less resistances than the Shadow Master when they can have up to 80% resist all (according to the guide), while a Shadow Master can have up to only 67% resist all? Also, at what level do they use their skills?

2] Is it better for me to use a Shadow Warrio or a Shadow Master? Equal life, should be higher resistances for the Warrior if they really get up to 80% resist all (as well as controllable fade), and Shadow Warriors are far easier to control skill-wise. However, a Shadow Master has the potential to kill faster on her own, with access to martial arts that I won't be taking. Would I be better off with a Warrior or a Master?
