Quote:Guide-wise, you could have discussed the pros and cons of mercs (something I always have a difficult time deciding on),
My sin is more heavily concentrated in shadowskills than martial skills, but she is a telekick sin, and I'd say the Act2 Holy Freeze merc is the best way to go. Keeps everything around you slow while you are there.
Also note, when you telekick, your shadow master and merc both reappear with you. Meaning that they also attack the same monster at same time. So giving your merc some disgustingly high damage polearm that puts his damage over 10K at lvl80 is definately a good thing, as then you can kill the bosses more easily.
And following this specific guide, I'd say claw+shield is the better way to go. If you were to max claw mastery, Venom and burst of speed, drop all trap skills (it's a kick sin, not a trap sin), drop 19 off tigar strike or phoenix strike (pick just one or the other), then it would definately be dual claws (i use jade talon and firelizards).
I haven't checked my math on the skill points. And I've changed my mind on my sin about 15 times, so she's definately not near as good as she could be. But just some additional input.
