Basic kicker build complete - what now?

Hi,
atm my skills are 18 DTalon, 20 Venom, 20 DSentry, 3 FB, one BF and one in all Shadow.
I am PvM only, my equipment still far from good.

Where to spend my next few skillpoints i am undecided. Either in Shadowmaster for having a tank or Lightning Sentry for a bit more damage on DSentry. My goal is to solo hell with her. After that i am looking for a good use for her.

Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thx

now, why would you max deat sentry for?

the damage on death sentry is a joke compared to lightning sentry, not to mention it only fires 5 times.

if you are not going all out traps, then i'd say death sentry is a 1 point wonder for the corpse explosion only.

only time i would max death sentry is to synergyze lightning sentry.

as for shadow master, she is a very good tank on higher levels.

i believe the reason to max death sentry is to get a nice and big radius on the corpse explosion. for that reason, i find it a good investment.

i see it like xreciae. since its my only mobdamaging skill i prefer the larger radius i get through maxing death sentry.
thanks for your answers.

because it's the best skill available to a pvm 'sin, thats why. his kicks give him a corpse, his DS gives him a lot more corpses.

i wouldn't go heavily into traps at this point of the build, with maxed venom, you'll not have huge trap damage without some good +skills gear, even with maxed lit sentry & cbs.

if your running Fade, some more points there is always nice or shoot for an slvl18+ shadow master with +skills. one of my early k/t'sin builds could lay down an slvl30'ish 'master which is an absolute battletank.

thx for the answer meph.
since i´m kind a newb equipment wise i think i should stick to shadowmaster, if i got you right. not many +skill items to boot.
so it will be a classical kicker-build. i am curious how she will cope with hell.

Cubbie-

Check out my thread. My Assassin is VERY viable in HELL difficulty and GREAT fun to play with.

I highly suggest you use a shadowmaster. I have mined maxed, but I believe you can get away with lvl 18 shadowmaster irrc.

Goodluck

well, this thread is going OT.
yep, the assa is a female toon and should therefore be adressed as a she. actually we do a bit gender mainstreaming here ; )
OTOH many of us are not native speakers. also, many of us are replying to posts after hours of playing and/or late of night.
so some grammar mistakes are not that bad, aren´t they?

cheers to you all, and thx again for all who are answering all this questions in the forums.
