It is kind of just like an all-around good Diablo 2 items for an assassin, but not necessarily the best D2R items that you can put on your head, however, this particular one obviously goes in your hand, and it is also very important to note that claws are never seen at their correct attack speed.

Unless they are on an actual assassin, so if you look at this on any character that is not an assassin what you will note is well, it's extremely slow which is kind of silly because you know non-assassins can't even wield these things. 

Anyway, it's like they wanted to prevent people from taking advantage of the fact that you know it was a fast weapon, but then at the same time you know they restricted it from all classes except for assassin. So what was the point, it is also important to note that this weapon is a negative 30-speed weapon, so the base speed of this weapon is negative 30, and it is just as fast as a phase blade believe it or not.

Let's go over the item together,  look and see what it does, so it's 88 to 155 damage, this is the greater talons, it has a dexterity requirement of 79.8 strength requirement of 79 79.79 and it has a level requirement of only level 49 not bad actually quite honestly for a level 49 item, this might be a very easy item for you to put on on a lot of assassins,  even if you're not technically a martial arts sin simply because it has such nice stats, it does have a very fast attack speed.

It is negative 30 for assassins and it also has plus one martial art skills static plus two Assassin which is also static, it also has the very nice 30 faster-hit recoveries which are going to help you out a ton as far as recovering from attacks you definitely want to have at least a certain amount of faster recovery.

Now it does vary depending on characters, but if look at the faster hit recovery breakpoints for the assassin, come up with a decent idea of what the fast rate recovery breakpoints are and where you probably need to be. Now if you were going to use the Bartex cutthroat greater talons in the earth form, you would have to do so with either an ability that does not burn durability blade fury, for instance, does not burn durability and or b you would have to put a Diablo 2 runes- Zod rune in it.

Diablo 2 Resurrected Unique Items - Zod Rune

Now putting a Zod root in it is going to raise the level requirement.

This zone rune inside, this item will immediately raise the level to level 76, as you can see now going to go ahead and upgrade this, to have some fun playing around the with the Bartox, to upgrade these you're going to need a pull rune, you're going to need a lum rune and you're going to need a perfect emerald, this will upgrade it from the nightmare base the exceptional level base to the hell or elite base, so as you can see got 88 to 155 79 decks 79 strength 49 level requirements and it goes to the runic talents. 

Now it has a 97 to 182 damage 115 decks 115 strength quite a bump in the requirements there, and it goes up to level 74. Now this one would also go up to level 74, but because the Zod rune is at level 76, so do keep that in mind,  now to upgrade this one same thing a paul alum and a Perfect Emerald and this one's going to go from 118 to 206 strength require damage 69 strength requirement 69 dex requirement and goes to 133 to 248 100 damage 105 decks 105 strength and level 83.

Why did the Zod rune add kind of an odd level requirement?

It's always done that it doesn't always work the way that you think it will now what can you actually use Bartox for well, it's not necessarily the best item that you can ever use for an assassin, there are obviously other ways that you could go, you could obviously use a spirit sword and shield, you could use you know like a Chaos claw or the new Plague claw.

There are a lot of different options and Martech's cutthroat doesn't necessarily represent the best option for a lot of characters, but because it has plus two Assassin 30 faster recovery as well as 20 decks and 20 strength, it can actually be a really nice claw as a placeholder, before you know your best in slot claw, you can use it as a buff stick just for the plus two skills, you can use it for the extra decks and strength, you can use it just for the faster hit recovery.

There are a lot of different things that people like to do with claws either using them as off-hand buff sticks or b, using them as the main hand weapon 133 to 248 one-handed damage is actually pretty sweet as you can see Natalya's mark is only 120 to 153.

Bow Natalia's mark does have it and 40 increased attack speed and that is actually pretty sweet, but Bartex is actually really fast as well,  but then that negative 30 base, it's actually pretty sweet, honestly, what classes could get good use out of bar tax well, it's good for a martial arts sin obviously, because it has plus three martial arts, so using it on a martial arts sin is actually pretty sweet.

Now martial arts sins are not super-duper popular these days, so it's something that probably goes to the wayside, but they have done a lot of changes with the martial arts tree lately, and it could be interesting to see how the ethereal zoned Bartox cutthroat holds up in a martial arts sin pure martial art, then it also obviously works very well on just about any character just as a temporary Diablo 2 items.

As a buff stick as it were you could put this on a trap sin, you could definitely put it on a blade Fury sin the ethereal zoned version in its perfect form might actually make a really good main hand blade Fury D2R items.
