Fill in the gaps [Warrior - Monk]

started D2 again and wanted to try something new
the Warrior Monk as it is described in the sticky's above look really neat

now A few questions with a lil background info

skills:
20 venom
20 dragon talon
20 shadow master
fade till I have 100 res in hell ( equip dependant )
1 point blade fury

those are the skills I'm very certain I will be using.
any input is very welcome
also:
How useful is cloak of Shadows ? worth investing into ?

Equip:
Andariels visage
duress boneweave
verdungo's
raven frost
highlord
shadow dancers ( 1 skill )
draculs
Stormlash
Stormshield

his setup still leaves me with an ring socket + something to put in the shield + helm
I was thinking of an Eld in the SS.
I do want to reach max blockbecause I want to hunt ubers with this assasin
would the eld be worth saving the stat points for vita or should I just think about resists ?
and Andy's visage, perhaps a ral to cancel the - fire res


questions

I read in the guide that you cannot combine Burst of speed with Fade
but if I cast BoS and then fade I still have the effects from BoS and Fade. glitch ?

any comments on my build is happely taken :azn:

Glad you're interested in the Monk. Why didn't you post on its thread? :laugh:

You'll want more CB. I'd swap the Andariel's for a Guillaume's Face. That'll help your shuriken as well.

You forgot the 1 point into Mind Blast. Think of this as your "Oh CRAP!" button. It will save your life.

No, you can't stack BoS and Fade. If you cast one after the other, the second will cancel the effects of the first.

Swap dungoe's for the IK Belt or Credendum. You won't need its mods, but you will need the res and Strength from IK - it'll help you wear SS and your 'dancers.

Eld in the SS would be fine. I'd go with a P-diamond myself - for Ubering you can't stack those resists too heavily, and Fade has dramatically diminishing returns. If you're wearing an SS, there's really no reason to boost it (with +skills and charms) past level 15.
