Best all-around PvM build?

[Yogi_Baar]

I'm not really sure what could be considered the "best", so I'm going to try picking your brains to see what candidates I can come up with. ^_^

Try a BF/DS assassin.

I have a BF-only (and Shadow tree) assassin with no +skills, maxed SM (main killer, even takes care of DS-ing every now and then), maxed CM, maxing Venom, using Malice claws (~11 - 30 dmg, imagine that) and a cold Act III merc (secondary killer). I've just rescued Anya in NM with no bigger problems.

My luck sucks (despite having ~110% MF), the best rune I've found so far was Dol and 2xSol (no Rhyme yet), I can't find a 3-socket claw that's better than normal claws and I rarely kill anything myself. But I'm having GREAT FUN. Now, that IS what makes a character "great", right? ;)

BTW, that Marrowwalk synergy is generally believed to be a bug (to abusers it's a feature, of course), since one point in bone prison turns them from über to not so good. Same thing with Carrion Wind and Rabies, IIRC. I'd stay away from bugs.
