Hows this for a PVP kicker?

Skills:
20 Dragon Talon
20 Dragon Flight
20 Venom
20 Fade
20 Mind Blast
1-x in Shadow Master
1 in so trap skill to push opponents around

^ I know this is obviously pushing it to the limit... not even sure if it is complete-able with pre-requs..

So my question is which skill should I leave out.. or max last (priorities).. I want to make a pvp kicker but I want a well rounded one.. not a mage slayer just for dueling casters.

And is Weapon Block viable? Should I take it over fade?

Equipments:
Guardian Angel
Stormshield
Andy's (helm)
Upgraded Gores (I know shadow dancers are better, but can't get them at the moment)
Dungos
Dracs
For weapon its either going to be stormlash or death web (heard good things about it)
For ammy and rings probably going angelics for ar
otherwise
Frost Raven and Some rare ring along with some rare amulet

Thanks for in advance for the input!

weapon block can block anythin...meaning fireballs, hammers, bone spirits, up to u if u choose it, but if u do u need claws
if u dont go that route and use ss, um'd fleshripper is another good choice for weapon
and id go with enigma as armor...saves alot of str...and gives teleport, i wouldnt want to have to depend on dflight to get u where u need to go, not only is it buggy, but it will be easy to tell where u are gonna land and most duelers will take note of that and u wont have a chance
theres also trang gloves for fcr/the psn dmg
not sure what helm to go with for pvp kicker, not sure if andys would be the best tho

102 FCR... It is an important distinction, especially when considering Spirit Phase Blades as weapons.

Dual Jades are not always the best weapons for Dual Claws. Fury is amazing, Malice is awesome, and even a Fool's with Ums is also a great option. Off hand claws you have more flexibility with. There is another great post on weapon options around. WizAdept's post is the one to look for.

Skill allocation is interesting, and strange for most modern builds, fairly flexible. You can go 3 kicks, 4 kicks, High Fade, 1 point Fade, High Weapon Block, 1 point Weapon block. These all depend on how you use your claws, since generally you will use Storm which gives high DR when you are weapon/shield, and claw block obviously doesn't work except with claws.

This flexiblility affords easy hybridisation, but it is not needed, although you may find you have a lot of spare points. Afterall, a few points in DT, maxed Mind Blast and Venom and the one point wonders is all that is really essential.
