Kicker basics.........?

[bigsweat]

Hello all.
First let me say that I am totally new to this site and just registered today.(so please be gentile)
I have a question about making a kicker(obviously by the title).
I don't have any real experiance with assassins, but a kicker sounds cool as something a little different.
I am looking to make a kicker that does just straight damage. No Venom if it's possible to make one w/o. Also not a big fan of traps(takes more skill and practice than my little brain can handel). I just want to be able to run up and kick the stuffing out of what ever comes my way.
This will be strictly a PVM sin, as I really suck at PVP.(back to that whole little brain problem)
I plan to get her to the mid 80's before I will probably loose a little motivation on the build(unless it really rocks), so information to get me to there would be much abliged.

Looking for Stat distribution (is higher dex or higher str better for a kicker?)
Medium equiptment (ss, chaos, and egnigma are doable and might be able to afford a little more but thats about it right now)
Skill distribution

thanks to all in advance and have a good one.:grin:

Thanks for the welcome all.
Now please disregard my first post..........
I have been reading guides for the last 4 hours now and have a little better idea of whats going on(or at least what I am looking for I guess)
The main questions I have now are probbably easier to answer.

1: Can you make a decent build w/o Venom? (read a great build using Blade Furry that sounds sweet)

2: Still not sure if I understand or not; OIAS and WIAS, more over which one affects kicks and which one will affect BF.

So, opinions, would this work for starters?

DTalon 20
CM 20
WB 10+?
SM 12+?
BoS 1+?
Fade 1+?
BF 1+?
and pre reqs
Still a little foggy, but still reading.
Thanks again.

I can tell ya right now you would not need Claw Mastery max with the current skill selection. As none of them use the actual weapon for fighting.

It's my own guide, but I think it pretty well answers your questions, and a few you may have later. After you read it, by all means, keep asking questions when you have them.

oh yeah master yoda errrr ilkori to the rescue!!! ^_^ anyways you might also want to look for the monk-sin thread here http://forums.diabloii.net/showthrea...sin+monk+guide
its intended for a uber brother slayer but its much more versitle than just that also its a very fun build to make. I personaly have a monk that runs (and with lvl 5 BoS natural and +6skillers I mean runs hehehe) preaty much solo... only died with her when helping some low level do a diablo run and the fool cracks a seal before I can clear the room. anyways give it a look and enjoy
