Ok so here is the deal. First off i am playing solo HC. I plan on making a kicksin which i will use to run the ubers.

Is it more useful to use master or shadow for a kicker hybrid. I wanna do a kick sin with light sentry for immunes. On the same topic, is dragon talon for charges worth it or just use the kick skill?

I read somewhere that fade gave 1 DR per point, is that 1% per point? Would fade be a better option for a kicker or BoS? Is venom something thats even worth using? Does venom even work with kicks? Does CB and DS both work with kicks and OW doesnt? I couldnt remember which did and didnt.

Anyways, on to the gear i plan to try and achieve with her.
-Guils with um or 15ias/15res jewel
-Duress, Smoke, Lionhear, havent decided yet
-Death BA, other RW?, other unique?
-Gores seem a lot more achievable than shadow dancer
-Sanctuary for sheild, would love an SS but will have to wait...
-Raven would be nice for CBF, and res ring
-Ammy and gloves are undecided as of now
-and finally the charms, should i go for life/ar charms? Ive heard that max dmg doesnt apply to kicks?

I know this is a lot, and hopefully it isnt to unorganized, but i would love the help :)

First, look here for some general things about uber kickers: http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=56488382&f=87
I haven't looked through it all but it seemed to have some good advice.

Also check out some of the discussion from this thread (starting on page 5): http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=4584728&f=87


To answer some of your questions here...
If you pick the right base weapon and have enough IAS then you won't use BoS... you'll want fade regardless but depending on your weapon you might be very slow.
Last Wish in a phase blade (not zerker or anything else) is probably the best weapon choice... lots of cb and lifetap too.
Upped gores are great but if you have max CB then shadow dancers are an option.
Life/ar is best as +MA won't really help your damage and more kicks isn't necessary if some of your kicks miss.
Deadly strike doesn't work with kicks, CB and OW do work.

To put it simply, you need high CB and AR to kill, and you need stacked res, max block, enough life, and life tap to survive. So do whatever you can to achieve all of that and you'll be fine.

Note that to be good in good in pvm with traps too you'll have to sacrifice some of your uber killing abilities.
