Tell me Good PVP Kicking assa BUILD

OW = open wounds
CB = crushing blow

both of these are obtained from equipment, and transfer to kick. high cb% is good for a pvm kicker but not too helpful for a pvp build. ow% on the other hand is a primary source of damage for pvp kicksins, along with venom.
Don't think in terms of high physical damage at once, thats not how kicksins work. Its a damage over time character. Use kick to apply venom/ow, and use traps and stunlock tactics to keep your opponent occupied while the damage sinks in.

If you want a pvp kicksin you may want to read this thread:
http://forums.diabloii.net/showthread.php?t=536332
where I posted a miniguide on a c/c casterkiller kicksin.
If you want a kick vs all or kick vs kick build, you need to build around 75% block Stormshield, and have w/s weapon options like Um'd fleshripper, Um'd wizardspike, Um'd death's web. The essentials to a pvp kicksin remain the same as a casterkiller. 65fcr/86fhr are bps to shoot for if you want a pvp build.

Yes, you need to have 2 claws equipped for Weapon Block to work.
It won't work with regular items, and it won't work with just 1 claw.

well, even if you build around maxblock ss, you will have games where you dont have to worry about barbs and stuff jumping you. (a gm game or perhaps if you run into a game with just sorcs/necros/trappers ect) for those duels, it makes a lot of sense to switch to c/c, even if your build is made for w/s maxblock.
malice/jadetalon are easy to come by, and make duels vs many casters easier than trying to use w/s against them. Seeing as a pvp kicksin should be shadow discipline based, you wont have to put many points in weaponblock to reach a good block%

imo its best to invest in weaponblock and stash some claws if you are making a pvp build.

Also a w/s build isnt exactly much different from a c/c build. The essentials are still the same, 65+ cast, 86+ fhr, 1 wof/ls, maxed mindblast, ow/venom for damage. Only thing with w/s is its a lot more demanding on your stat points for getting block.

Yup. Also, if you can afford it, try to get together a 102fcr setup with weapon/shield versus fast casters. It can be worth it at times.

Both setups, W/S and C/C have their uses against different opponents. In order to be successful, you're going to be switching between them.

I have now Bartuc + Storm in my hands, because better dmg :p
What u mean W/S C/C ? C/C Claws / Claws`?
If i have 1 Claw , is Weapon plock usefull, or Claw mastery if i use Dtalon does it give kick dmg ?

C/C = Wielding 2 claws
W/S = Wielding a Weapon (Fleshripper) and a Shield (Stormshield)

Using 1 claw and Stormshield does NOT use Weapon block. It's based off of your shield block then. You MUST be wielding 2 claws in order for Weapon block to take effect. ClawMastery does NOT give extra kick damage.
