in sc ladder, I have maxed out death sentry, now maxing light sentry, non on venom didn't seem to work that good, the thing is I have plenty ias from the gears for now (around 60-70ish pre BoS), not sure if I need more, to hit bp is nice but this is just for PvM so I reckon it's just enough for that? I was thinking to invest more in fade but for now it seems I have decent resis in hell (doing ubers is another thing later though), wondering why it's good idea now to put more than 1 point in BoS other than running faster, and how many to fade is good? mainly struggling with skill tree for kicksin now that she is kick and trap hybrid, I'm about to reset soon so don't want to waste it and want to make everything right.

my gear for now

fort (hustle and duress for different utilities)

g-face with 15ias socketed

stormshield

black (with possible lawbringer on pb to deal with immunes and no swap for now just black dealing with everything)

string of ear (I also have nosferatu just to mention it here)

gobin (want to have gore for frw)

laying of hands (just learnt most of mods don't work with kick but still nice to have 20 ias and fire res, I have venom grip and a 1/10 rare gloves for options)

trash amu

raven and manald

other than suggestion for improvement on the gear, also like to get tips on the skills just what to max out as kick and trap and how many to put down in fade and bos (both being 1 point wonder or?)

has great advice on this

As long as ur using bos ur ias is fine. You want 95 for most viable wepons with fade:

one question, how can you check how many points you need for dt? isn't maxing it out not optimal? (for now I have it maxed out)

I prefer to not max it, i find 4 kicks volleys fine in pvm.
Else you will be kicking a lot of air.

also when do ubers, you don't wear draculs for life tap or you use a wand?

No, i use juvs and end them quickly with amp.
Only uber meph is the hard one, ideally you need enought res and 95ias fade.
The other bosses you leech with amp which keeps you full.

You wont leech on skellies, and you wont leech on immune demons prior to amp, so just dont bother with them.

interesting, I have to try this myself, I only need enigma and infinity lol, currently my kicksin almost has all the gears based on your guide, atma/gface/stormlash/stormshild/gore/fort, merc has tal rasha/treachery/insight for farm/obedience for bosses, I also have a pair of 20/5 gloves which is serviceable in this case, by leech you mean life steal from the gears right? I'm about to reset, still struggling whether to max out on venom, I've heard it helps a lot on uber Baal?

oh and whats the ideal life steal amount you need from your gears for ubers?

Yes.
Use strings instead of arach vs ubers, and use demon limb for ench.
Stormshield, guillaume, stormlash should all have 15ias/res jools.
And you need a dual leech fcr ring.

15/res would be too expensive for me are they mandatory in this build? I wonder is 20 fade along enough, my current res without fade is around 50ish each (fire much lower, some are higher although I can use laying of hand), if I replace 4 trap skillers with some random res gc, they would be like 25 fire, 88 lightning, 68 cold and 75 for poison aren't they all right pre-fade for ubers?
