Hello, can you guys tell me which are the best weapons for Melee poison assassin? (whirlwind so for sure Chaos weapon gonna be AoE skill) and Dragon claw for single target, you can also tell me which other options of skills are good? was thinking about Chaos + Fury, but not so sure if its the best combination? gonna use Sunder charms for sure so Physical or Poison immune is not a problem, thanks everyone for answers! :D

Don’t ever build your WW sin by trying to scale poison damage.

Venom is overall a very minor portion of your damage output.

This is a pretty good explanation of why:

While a WW sin typically maxes venom (even more so now on d2r due to 20 less synergy points for LS), do not make gear choices around scaling venom damage.

So maybe is there any other build for Poison Assassin than Whirlwind? thanks ! :D

Chaos + Fury works fine. You can go Chaos + Eth Bartucs too.

Don’t need to rely on Venom to make the kills though, it’s just a fraction of your total damage. You could also try a Rift kick assassin - there’s most likely a guide already.

So the best weapons for Melee assassin (it dont have to be whirlwind, can be dragon claw, i have no idea yet what i wanna build her, just want to deal a lot of poison dmg + physical) gonna be Chaos + Fury? :D thx
