Critique my WW sin.

[Phyrexial]

Okay, so I finally made my Chaos to begin some dueling. Still lacking a CtA so my life is a bit low (a tad over 1k, 99 saved stats still) and my charms are unfinished. This is what I have so far, please drop all the criticism you want on me.

Ammy: Angelic

Belt: Arachnid's/Verdungo's/Tgod's
Armor: Archon Enigma (thanks jam3s. :))
Gloves: Trang's

Weapon 1: Chaos Suwayah
Weapon 2: Malice Runic Talons/Jade Talon
Switch: Bartucs/+3 SD claw

It's going to be awhile before I can get a second Chaos or Fury for my secondary claw so Malice/Jade will have to suffice in the meantime. I've got some nagging questions I'd like some input on:

1) What should I put into my CoA? I don't want to waste that Um, but I was recomended to take it out and go with 2 psn facets instead.
2) Trang's gloves or Dracul's when I don't need the fcr or cold res from Trang's?
3) When I'm not dueling a high def char, what ammy/rings would you guys recomend? I'm thinking Highlord's or Mara's for the ammy and Ravens or BK Rings.
4) Gores vs Dancers?

Any tips you could give me on actually playing the sin would be great. I've picked up the whole WWing away from melee trick I've seen so many times. I'm still having trouble locking people down with WoF+MB and thus am still having trouble catching fast telers. Any technique hints would be much appreciated.

mara's is good for sorcs , trapsin , other magic chars. Raven's frost for blizzard sorcs ( u problay already know that ) mmm get some abosrb for fire and lighting not too much but enough to make u last long enough in a duel ( use full abosrb on people who nk and town guard )

[DragonKnight_Aka]

I also forgot to put since u don't have much faster cast rate ur teleport won't be too good against fast teleporters so best would to let them come to u like hide behind a house so they come to u . Try mbing some then tele and ww might work be better then tryin' to teleport after a char who has faster cast then u

[Joe_smith]

u should put more points in shadow master. she's more useful then you'd think and when u tele around she actually uses mind blast to stun people a lot thus giving u time to mb lock and lay traps. wof take a while to start firing so u might wanna try to hide a few somewhere and hope or trick people into teleling into them. also blade fury can be useful at times and 1 point in it can do decent damage depends on ur gear and stats. highlords and mara's are probably best ammy choices when ur not fighting high def chars. and as for rings raven frosts,fcr rings, absorb rings. leech rings, or whatever can all work pretty well for different situations.

[Phyrexial]

Yeah, I was noticing the Shadow Master saving me every now and then. I'll probably dump some more points into that. I was also recomended to use Blade Fury by a couple people, so I'll be getting 1 point into that. If I do, would Blade Shield be worth it as well?

[RprsntDaHatchet]

Yes get blade shield. It gains most properties (a.k.a. Crushing blow, Open Wounds! , venom, magic damage on ur claw) and hits once per second for 4 yards around you. All that extra chance for damage over a small melee area sounds good to me.

thats y theres df.

as for the post i think u should prebuff ur venom. get a 3 soc helm and add +5% facets/a 3soc nats and add +5%facets/+3 shadow +3 venom with 5%facets on switch(i know there very rare but u can buy them from anya in hell act 5) and trangs gloves. use these to cast ur venom and then switch to coa(take out um and get mayb ed jewels or something)/draculs/enigma/chaos. prebuffed ur venom should do about 2k dmg. take off shadow dancers and get gores(ow with gores and dracs and ds from highlords really helps)

well gl and hf playin.

[Phyrexial]

The ed% jewels in the CoA would really be better than the -res from the Facets?

I didn't think about an entire gear setup for prebuffing Venom, but if I can rustle up enough Facets for it, I'll definetly try that.

[luis19]

u should stick with the trangs for the psn dmg bonus.
