Assassin PVM Hybrid Build

[kreality]

I am not really fond with kicker build...but then, I kinda prefer hybrid build.

So If I going for PVM Hybrid Build without maxing Dragon Talon..what skills should I go for? I am planning to max Tiger Strike but then what next?

20 Death Sentry?
20 Tiger Strike
20 Lightning Sentry?
20 Charged Bolt Sentry???

and which shadow are superior? Shadow Master or Shadow Warrior?

You'll be disappointed with tiger strike but really any pvm build using mindblast/cos and a high radius deathsentry is "viable" or at worst "workable"

I would recommend a kick/trap hybrid as it is the most effective pvm hybrid build to go with imho. But you dont want that so =\

And is there any build actually max Shadow Warrior/Master?

So basically, Punch/Claw Assassin is pretty much fail in PVM category?

As for your Master/Warrior question, it's a matter of personal preference. The warrior is more predictable, but is limited to your current skills. The Master is less predictable, but can throw out just about anything. I prefer the Master because it's more like having another party member. Plus she'll usually throw out mind blasts at large mobs, so I never bother putting a point in that skill. If you're throwing traps, then the Warrior is probably worse because she'll be more likely to throw out her lower-level traps and erase the ones you've put down. At least with the Master there's a decent chance she'll jump in and melee with Phoenix Strike instead.
