Hi
I started working on my melee assassin. I am thinking to use phoenix
strike with dragon tail combo. I am not sure bout skill points yet
exactly. Max out claw master and Phoenix and shadow master maybe or
maybe just get master up to 20 with plus skills and everything then max
out least 1 synergy on phoenix strik and put points in 1 other. Im
thinking max lightning synergy and maybe put spare points in the ice 1
or the fire 1 if ne1 think that might be better. I will put 1 point in
bos and 1 point in veneom cuz venom will work with bos and i know
poison dam wont be lost but it will be some and cant hurt and poison
stops monster heal so it seem like good idea.
her stuff will be nats set at end. not sure if she will be dual claw or
claw and shield if duel claw either jade talon or bartucs i think hade
talon might be best i have a shadow killer to but dont think it as good
as talon would be. if shield i hade a gold blade barrier that i would
put pdiaomd in. not sure what to put in sockest on nat armor I know
maybe least 1 shael for hit recovery since nat set don have ne i don
think and melee need SOME hit recovery I think other 2 sockets best
resists i can get for her. belt and rings not sure maybe raven frost if
i can get 1 and a leech ring in other I have lots of nice leech rings
and nats will have some leech to and so will talon if i use it and belt
maybe string or that verdungo cord if i can get them and i have a
disciple belt which wouldnt be bad cuz it have reists and ads to str
and dex which is nice.
if ne assassin experts have advice plz let me know ne will help ty

I have a lot of Raven Frosts, even if you are the last one to rummage
thru my mules, there is sure to be a few left. Also if you consider
other sources of Prevent Monster Heal (besides using Venom), there is a
ring that does that, can't remember whether it's Carrion Wind or
Nature's Peace, but either of which I have many as well. I just
learned recently that Highlords ammy is good for most melee chars, and
I just happened to have way too many of these. So now you have a
reason to search thru my mules after I send the password

First off, I wouldn't bother with Venom. The duration of the poison damage
isn't enough to do much about the monster regeneration, unfortunately. Is
this going to be on West/East/or Single Player? I've got a few 100Poison
Damage charms you could use if you really needed them.
If you want to use PS, listen to Jabber, at least some of what he says 
)
He's right about the Lightning Charge of PS being your biggest damage
dealer. I'd max PS first, get a point in Shadow Master/BoS, and then max at
least Claws of Thunder, and if you can get as many points as you can into
Fists of Fire if that's the one you decide.
Mine didn't max a finisher, I concentrated on the synergies instead. If you
go dual claw, 1 point in Dragon Claw will be ok for a finisher, but if you
like Dragon Tail then that's up to you

Whether or not you use 2 claws will probably depend on what charge you end
up using the most. If you have a high chance to hit and 2 claws, sometimes
getting the first charge to release is a major pain in the arse. Lag and
Desync could have a lot to do with this though, so if you have a pretty good
connection it might not be a problem.
Jade Talon and Nat's set should cover you on resists. Cobra Strike should
cover your leech needs if you like to switch hotkeys all the time, but if
you don't then adding some leech somewhere isn't a bad idea.
String of Ears is a good choice, and there is a set belt (the name escapes
me) that has dual leech. If you have a Verdungo's though, that is a nice
choice for a belt too.
If you haven't thought about a merc yet, I suggest a Holy Freeze guy.
short - no clue about all the sockets though
