I think I would've prefered the
2martial arts, 70 ias blade talon for weapon which allows you to use spirit shroud for cbf and +1skill (mdr also) and whitstans.
You should try to get +1 martial arts glove,10ias,resist/stats for gloves.

Get x2 claws with +2 shadow disp on switch to prebuff venom/fade. I've heard that venom has to be atleast level 9 to be useful

Do you really want talon at 20? 17 is what you need to get that fifth kick. You could then put those other three points into fade/venom to help with resistances, pdr, and poison.

I'd stick with the bloodifsts for gloves. They provide alot of fhr towards that breakpoint as well as life and ias. MA skills really won't help you unless you can get enough +skill to get 6 kicks IMO. Does upping the bloodfists once put them out of level range?

Twitch provides more ias, fhr, dex, str, and increased chance of blocking. IMO I think that twich/rhyme would be more beneficial than whistan's/spiritshroud. Due to the added fhr and resistances. Not sure you need all that much more dex for block after you add on the dex/icb of twitch/rhyme.

You then also only need 26% more fhr to hit the last breakpoint. You have 30ias via your gear so you need a weapon with wsm -30 with a shael/15% ias jewel to get 7/3 kicks.... so greator talon with one or the other.... I THINK....

and sometimes it hurts ;).

i have no idea what you're talking about joerg. 18 is the level for four, not 5, 24 is for 5.

rhyme/twitch is a valid set up as is whitstan/spirit shroud. they accomplish different things and are better suited for different tasks.

Haha oops 17 is the lev where shadow master gets all of her rare gear right? Not sure what I was smoking there. lol
Need to find some more.... :evil:

So you only need 18 if you can get +6 skills for 5 kicks and 20 if you can get +4... if you can't do either then why go over 18? Just throwin out there... thanks for the correction crawling

I still like the twitch rhyme setup better.... Ignore my previous beligerent/drunken ramblings about the kicks lol
