There are certainly a lot of ways to go gear wise thats for sure.
I tried two bartucs last night with a different armor. (Smoke). The extra claw really boosted my skills and my kick damage went up 4.5 K. The smoke made up for the sheild pretty much with resistances and the defense is much higher. (still need another 50 ish resists however to hit max).
I found a rare amulet that gave me +2 shadow diciples and over 15 resist all plus a teleport charge. This seemed pretty decent so I am wearing that now. Yes a martial arts ammy would have been better but the resists are nice on this ammy.
My theory reguarding cobra strike is this. If I have life and mana leech gear on I can charge up Tiger Strike and finish With a D-Tail without having to use or wait charging Cobra Strike. Im Usually charging more than finishing so I get more life and mana that way. So I can almost make two cycles of TS/DT before one TS/CS/DT cycle. I would rather rely on my charge up strikes to gain life/mana instead of my finishing moves.
Also im using BOS. Fade cancels it. So if I am wearing treachery and it triggers I might loose BOS.
you are right about the magic items and thier stats. they can be very good. I have found better rares and unques. The magic items I did find seemed to be items for other classes like pallys and druids and such. My best magic item is my chromatic amulet of resistances (+30 to all).
I wasted points on blade sheild (yes I admit it) so I am rebuilding this character soon. I will start a separate post when I do.
