Although i dont nhave the equpment for it, hybrid allround assas have always been my favorite pvp char. With the crit strike bug gone, and the uninterruptability on fof/boi/col likewise, i feel the time has come to play a kicker/trapper instead.
this is my idea on a build: Its foundation is based on:
1) Allround dueling - even the odds as much as possible - she must be able to duels barbs aswell as sorc's with equal efficiency.
2) Damage is focussed through open wound, crushing blow and venom - secondary is kicking damage
3) not really expensive, although in order to perfect it you would want some serious wealth, especially charms.
Dragon talon: 20 (this is our main attacking skill)
Venom: 20 (very powerful against mid levels, and is easily applied with the fast attack of dragontalon)
Fade: 14 or 20 (20 means less points in DT)
BOS, WOF, LS, MB and SW: 1 point each
Now obviously, as a hybrid we will be geared towards allround use, which includes FCR, mana, runspeed etc.
Weapon: The Gnasher hand axe when using BOS, "UM" socketed bartucs or +3 MA/1-3 DT fast claws when using Fade. Another option are rare +2 MA/fools claws. I dont believe you kick fast enough with the axe.
Armor: Shaft - or when dealing with casters, 4 sock armor with life.
Shield: 3 socketed of deflecting
Helm: Guilliams
Boots: Gorerider
Belt: perf. string when wearing BOS, else a caster bloodbelt with nice stats
Ring 1: Raven
ring 2: angelic/soj
amu: angelic/+1 with stats or res all
Gloves: Trangs
Charms: run/dmg, dmg/life, mana/life, fhr/dmg, and shadowskillers with life or fhr.
if you get enough shadowskillers to have lvl 35 fade (and ofc. lvl 35 venom which is awesome) you can wear string and not worry about shaftstop, but instead pick a more allround armor like 4 sock of the squid/whale, or vipermagi for the skill and faster cast to reach the 42 FC BP.
As for socketing, i have no idea. On the shield, i might imagine rare jewels with ED or min/max+7 fhr or dmg goes to mana. DMG to mana might be very useful with the leech nerfed. Does ed or min/max dmg increase kick dmg??
so lets boil it down:
speed: 7/2/2/(2)
damage: no idea, expect around 600 i suppose.
poison damage: ~1200 with lvl 44 venom which is the max achievable with this setup, minimum is ~675 with lvl 28
Hit recovery: guilliams is 30,(and bartucs too, if you go with those) but more is up to you.
Runspeed: gores+bos is enough, but when wearing fade i suggest an extra 30-50% depending on your enemy.
Faster cast: anywhere between 20 and 50%. I suggest atleast 30% from previous hybrid experiences
Open wound: minimum is 35% with um claw+gores, max is 85% with um gnasher and gores.
Crushing blow: minimum 45%, max 65%
AR: with angelic and raven and decent charms, 12k is not utopia.
life/mana: impossible to tell, but i would say anything between 1k-1.5k is acceptable. More is probably possible. Mana should be atleast 500, but 750 is adviceable.
Oh, and this is most certainly NOT a guide, but an idea. Im just a newbie with a good imagination, so what are your thoughts?
