this is my plan...

[aztrozombiez]

First off I have to admit I am terrible at formulating builds and don't have much experience when it comes to bulding a great character, mainly because I have only played the game for a year, and not even half that was on Battlenet..
Which is why I make so many threads asking about sin builds >>

anyways I have a lvl 10 assassin, who I plan to make into a kicker sin.
I plan to max out claw mastery, tiger strike, d-tail, venom, maybe 10 put into wep block and invest a few in cobra strike and 1 in cos, or mind blast.

Currently I have 2 in BOS[I meant to only invest 1 in BOS but you can blame the lag on b.net for that one.. >>] and I have 1 in tiger and 7 in claw mastery.


but do you think this plan would work?
Also I have read blade fury is good to invest in even if you plan on not becoming a trapper...
help out a noob. :undecided:

Also I am not sure what to do with my stat pts.. I haven't spent any so far except 4 into Strength so I could weild this katar.

So, TS/DTail build, right? I'd save Claw Mastery for last, depending if you want to use a C/C, C/S, or W/S setup. I recommend 'Lawbringer' PB and SS as endgame gear (however, you've still got a bit of time until then, so don't worry). Also, I don't think Claw Mastery will do that much for your damage, so personally I'd leave it at 1. Definately invest a few points in Mind Blast, it rocks! And Blade Fury is a 1pt wonder, use it to get rid of those pesky Oblivion Knights, so you don't kick yourself to death because of Iron Maiden.

Good Luck!

Ok thx.. and is tiger strike a good one to max?

Also wake of inferno?
I was looking at blade fury and one of the preqs. was wake of fire, which is the preq for inferno.
Even though I am not a trap sin, would this be good to max? If I do what you suggested and don't max out claw mast then I have leftover skill pts. some go into the prereqs. but still..

if ure going for tsrike/dtail sin, u want to max both asap, death sentry u should put up to level 10 at least for the corpse explosion, good for crowd control

[BildBenny]

Hmm... Well, I'd also put 1 point in DFlight, just for transportation purposes. Some times you relly want to get up close to a specific target, and when you use DFlight both you and your Mercenary (and Shadow) teleport to the specified target.
I usually aim for at least a 5 second stun duration on Mind Blast, but preferably 8 seconds. I doubt Wake of Fire will do much damage without maxed synergies and loads of +skills.
As said earlier, put a few points in Death Sentry in order to increase it's radius on the explosion (and maybe even a few points in Fire Blast to increase the number of times it fires?).

[aztrozombiez]

Yes, I was going to put a point into d-flight.
Thanks everyone

if you have any more advice, let me know =]

Have you tried using charge up and release skills ? I find that they are a pain in the ... . I prefer just using release skills such as Dragon Talon and Dragon Claw. A kicker who just uses Dragon Talon can be very effective as its one of the fastest attacks in the game and a great way to deliver crush blow.
