A Sense of Direction

[Arachanox]

Is what my PvP Assassin lacks. I had an earlier topic, but already it's out of date, I just leveled up 20 times or so since then. What I need is some advice as where to go next with my sin. She has a basic setup that is very flexible right now, because I haven't spent many stat or skill points.

Level: 54

Stats:
-Strength: 90
-Dexterity: 60
-Vitality: 60
-Energy: 25
-Unspent: 115

Skills:
-1 Claw Mastery
-1 Burst of Speed
-1 Fade
-20 Venom

Gear:
-Helm: Hydraskull, 131 defense
-Amulet: Lapis Amulet of the Squid, +68 to health, 15% cold resist
-Weapon: Heart Carver, 44-110 damage, 35% Deadly Strike, Ignores Target Defense
-Armor: Sturdy Tigulated Mail, 231 defense
-Shield: Sturdy Dragon Shield of the Fox, 85 defense, 43% chance to block
-Gloves: Trang Oul's Claws, +25% poison damage among other well-known mods
-Belt: Heavy Belt of the Whale (ethereal), +85 health
-Ring 1: A rare, not good.
-Ring 2: A rare, not good.
-Boots: Tearhaunch, +20% FRW, +10 all resists, +2 to vigor (paladin only :cry:)

And a Pestilent Charm of the *some animal* that gives me 100 poison damage over 6 seconds.

As you can see, my gear is very lacking. With Venom on, I am able to get 778-996 damage off over a total of 0.4 seconds.

But now I need to figure out what to do with this character. Becoming a trapsin is out of the question, as venom is useless for that. If venom can be added to kicks, maybe I'll try being a kicksin, but I am currently planning on getting Grief and Bramble to get an extra poison damage boost and enemy poison resistance lowering.

Thanks for reading!

venom will transfer to kicks, but dont use grief on a sin, the +dmg doesnt transfer to kicks

[UrbanHeroics]

If doing a kicksin, wouldn't a Last Wish in a Phase Blade be a better alternative because you kicks are based off of you weapon speed and the might aura and the crushing blow work on the kicks that you will be doing?

I am pretty sure that I am correct here, but if I'm not, someone can step in here and correct me.

[BAMFSpecialOps]

ur right last wish makes a great kicker weapon, cb, might, speed, chance for fade when struck, ways to proc life tap...

[Arachanox]

Well, the kicksin is a complicated build to me. Are there any alternatives that I could do with Grief?

grief is hardly a top choice for an assasin, guess one could make some oddball tigerstriker with it.. but that's probably not the best build out there. Grief would prove much more useful on an ordianry melee class such as a barb, a melee paladin or a shapeshifting druid. :tongue:

I wouldn't use a pvp sin with the gear you have, it just won;t work.
