Yup, this is a guide that i actually need help from all of you guys to make it really work. I've been playing around with zonfire's hero editor... and well, i think i might have a new idea for an assassin.
As we know from the WW assassin guide, venom could be deadly. Why? well, its the biggest source of psn dmg in under a second (0.4 to be exact) This could be potentially lethal... very fast damage, especially at high levels.
The other thing we know is that in 1.10 assassins have the uhh... ability to kick. There are 3 kicks total, talon, tail, and flight. Now, for the most part, talon is like zeal..., tail is like a fireball with KB, and flight teles and kicks.
In this guide, the 2 that i like best are talon (main attk) and flight (duel purposes?) The kick skills can also be combined with cb, ds, etc, etc.
The last thing that i realized with this kicker, is that although the dmg isnt shown on the screen... venom applies to it O_O
So... anyone think this is a good idea? keep readin...
I have a basic skill/ stat distribution.
20 venom
1 BoS
20 Dragon talon
20 Dragon Flight
20 Pheonix strike (ill explain later)
pre-req's
stats- enough to use a scourge and/or heaviest item. (again, explain later)
dex- enough for max block (and good AR)
vit- rest
energy - do i need to say anything?
The item selection is mainly for a poor man, sooo... any of you rich basterds can redo it for richer ppl.
Helm - guilames face. good helm, gives the necessary cb and ds for this build to work. Can also use Gaze... the mana leech will come from here if you do.
armor - really anything works, i prefer shaft for the +to life and DR%. Duress JUST might work here.... cb and ow ^^
Gloves - Trangs. No substitute... the +25% more psn is godly ^^
belt - nos coil. The +to str will add to kick dmg (kick dmg is affected by dex and str on about hte same proportions i think) the extra ll is good too, with some throw in slow to control crowds.
boots - here is where we seperate the rich and poor... for this build, im using sand storm treks... the damage is something like 80-110, but any rich ppl can use Up'ed gores or (the ultimate) shadow dancers. they have iirc about 149 max kick dmg... very nice. Also, for low- mid level, use goblin toe for the extra CB... i have goblin toe battle boots in my stash as well.
shield - i like resists, so im using a mosers as of now, i have no clue what would really work here... perhaps a sanctuary (+20 dex = more dmg) or a SS (30 str)?
ammy - to max your deadly strike, i suggest a highlords, although if you wnat more dmg you can go with Cat's eye or even maras.
rings - rings with leech are good for pvm, which is the primary function of this build... i use a manald as of now, and of course, raven... adds AR, more dmg, and cnbf. Best ring here imo.
Charms - psn charms are possible, as the % form trangs affects it, also, lifers are good too if you want ot put mroe into str/dex, and like wise, stat charms for more vitality.
Now... the weapon!!! most important here... I have tried different ones, and form my perspective (poor man), these come to me as really nice:
(first choice) Black rune word scourge... 40 % CB, adds IAS (kick speed is only affected by wep IAS), very nice for maxing out CB nad such.
(second choice) 6-shael phase blade... yes, your attk speed becomes insane with this... it's almost scary imo... but yea, kick faster, kill faster, leech faster, etc. However, youll have ot get your CB from somewhere else.
(third choice) Shaele'd Jade Talon wrist sword... yea, not that great of a choice, but adds mana leech and 2 to shadow dis skills.... also has decent IAS and resists (what is it, like 50?) decent choice for poor ppl^^
Aighty, that is my guide, feel free to flame, add discussion, give tips, whatever! Im open to that lol

EDIT: o yea, forgot about the pheonix strike. for the most part, Charge-up with taht while you cb everyone to death, and the finishing kick will be able to wipe out most of them. The rest of the points should be put into synergies (are there any?) for this skill. It's a good skill since it has all 3 elements... so youll have fire, lit, cold, psn, and physical dmg all in one attack ^^
