A few Assassin Q's

Ok making a weird assassin that is gonna go from normal to act1 NM she's gonna be a normal (weapon in one hand sheild in the other) warrior heres the skills.

tiger strike main skill (max it or not?)
p-hammer 1 point pre
CoS 1 point pre
mind blast 1 point or more?
1 in claw mastery for pre (not using a claw)
1 weapon block pre
shadow warrior (max it?)
Bos, im not using fade so how many in this? (5?)
fade 1 pre
venom max (write?)
blade sentinel and fury are pre for blade armor (how many for the armour?)

thats it, this is gonna be a ladder assassin who uses sword and sheild and uses alot of the low level new runewords and i dont want her to go past about 50levels and will go up to act1 NM there for she has 54 skill points.

btw this is a 1st time assassin thats why im not sure bout the skills

if ur staying in act 1 nightmare u won't need such a strong shadow, but i would go with shadow master. I dont know ur tactics but if ur going with tiger strike u might want a finishing move for it, like a kick. U could best use gore riders then. I really like dragon tail for finishing move, but without it tiger strike also adds very nice dmg to ur normal attack. i would say 5 points in shadow, 5 points max in bos, rest in venom and tiger strike, mayb a finishing move, and the skills u just mentioned. If ur going to do something with blade fury that only requires one point, becuz the next points dont really add enough to be worth it. Dont know anything about the blade shield, so u gonna have to ask someone else about that.
just my €0,02

For act 1 nm I would think a fire trapper would be good. At lvl 50 (assuming you've got all +12 skills from quests), max fireblast, max WoF, 1 death sentry + prereqs (or, better, from a claw), 3 weapon block, 3 BoS, rest in WoI.

equipment could be +3 trap circlet, +3 trap amu, treachery, 2 trap clawsor bartuc's, 2x soj, nat boots, death's belt + gloves.

So, with +1 death sentry on a claw, +4 skills, +12 trap skills, this gives a fire blast doing 1873-2214, a WoF doing 710-805, 46% block, and a 41 ias 47 frw BoS. Res would come from fade, although this would make points in BoS of little use.
