My psn kicker build

I'm making a melee posion kicker and I wanted to show you my build. I'm up for all suggestions.

Max Venom
level 17 DTalon
Max COS
Max MB
1 in dflight
1 in all shadow discplines
Points in traps to blade shield

Helm: Shako
Armor: 21/49 Bramble
Shield: Stormshield
Wep: Death's Web
Boots: Shadow Dancers
Belt: Dungos
Gloves: Dracs
Ammy: Angelics
rings: angelics/20 dex raven

switch: 6bo cta/spirit

Charms: anni, torch, shadow lifers.

Questions:
1. I notice alot of people use trangs and arachs for fcr, but is there a point in using them if you don't hit the 65% BP?

2. I'm contemplating using coa but I like the life from shako.

3. If I do use coa, should i go for the 200 fhr bp? That would probably mean I'm going to have to shael some items and use bloodfist and get shadow fhr charms? Is that a good idea?

4. If I hav spare points should i throw them into bos?

1: a venom'sin uses Trangs gloves for the 25% poison damage mod.

D2, being a little buggy, applies this bonus TWICE when you whack someone with a melee attack (like kicks for example). so it's actually a 56% boost to Venom damage. kind of hard to go past in a glove-slot with a nice 20%fcr boost in there too. and yes, you still need fcr. (and yes, all of that applies to your Bramble bonus too)

2: i'd suggest a 2/20fcr hat to help hit the 65%bp. but imho, shako > low-end CoA. high-end CoA > Shako. it all depends what you have.

3: i wouldn't shoot for 200fhr. i've tried it and felt the sacrifices elsewhere aren't worth it. 86% is pretty mandatory for a kicker btw.

4: you don't need to max CoS. both CoS and BoS are 1-pt-wonders.

i would also get a point into Death Sentry (easy levelling) as it's pre-req of Lit-sentry is handy for stunlocking.

This build will be pvp.

If I were to use COA should i facet it with psn facets? or Should i put an ias jewel in it?

If i go for the 65 bp, I would need arach, trangs, 2/20 fcr and a fcr ammy? Is it worth sacraficing the AR from angelics for the bp?

The reason I kind of wanted tro avoid traps is in whenever I place traps for melee dueling people automatically run away and refuse to duel me cause they think they traps are doing all the damage. I guess they would be good for public dueling though.

I'll take a screenshot later on today with items.
