Dtail vs DClaw

My char is early in the game and I've spare skill pts to distrubite, and should finally decide how to build on.

Is there any reason, except splash damage, that I should use DTail instead of Dclaw?

What is the key difference between these two ? I'd need pros & cons.

DTail provides knockback as well. You might not want it, you might want it. I'd say 1 point in all the finishers is never a bad idea.

For an TS build DTail is the usual finisher and in this case DTail must be maxed as well. For other charge-up builds I'd advice to keep your finishing moves just at one point.

They have different uses, though Dragon Tail is the most popular.

Dragon Tail: Best used along with Tiger Strike for massive splash damage. Keep in mind that you will need a nice pair of boots, most people would say either upped Gore Riders or Shadowdancers are the best options.

Dragon Claw: Can be used as a finishing move for a build which uses Fists of Fire, Blades of Ice, Claws of Lightning (Orwhatever that lightning martial arts skill is named) and/or Phoenix Strike. Can also be used as a stand-alone attack to deliever effects such as Venom, Crushing Blow and Open Wounds.

what if...

what if my venom 'aura' is on & use other element (fire, lightning..) - do I deliver all elemental type damage or one overrides the others ?? if so, which one?

All skills stack. They don't override each other.
