My new ladder Assassin, having recently maxed her primary attack, lightning sentry, is in a quandry. My plan is to devote most all my skill points to lightning sentry, and use Blade Fury to kill lightning immunes. I have toyed with the idea of using blade fury in concert with high level venom, but I am torn between devoting points to venom, shadow master, or synergies. So, is it worthwhile to devote 20 points to venom for use with fury? Or, would my points be better spent in shadow master? Is it folly to put too many points in shadow master, or is maxing it out the way to go?
Also, is a single point in either blade shield or mind blast worthwhile?
I'm afraid that I have precious little experience with Assassins, having never gotten one past level 18 or so before now. But I must say I am having lots of fun with my new one. My lightning sentry is tearing the monsters apart in nightmare so far. But I am a little woried about immunes, as I've mainly been playing alone since Diablo Retail dsf-1 and Strategy Forum are now perpetually abandoned, and I can't bring myself to play pubbies.
Edit: About Blade Fury, is the to hit % static, clvl/mlvl based, or also dependent on dex/AR?
