2x Chaos with +3 Venom Mods
48% Bramble Armor
Shako with 5/5 Poison Facet
Mara's Ammy
Trang's Gloves
Perfect Verdungo's
Gore Riders
20 DEX Raven Frost
BK Ring
I carry a CTA and Lidless on weapon switch.
I've got Nat set in stash for vs casters and various absorbs. Also have an Angelic Ring + Ammy if I face something I can't hit even when I use Cloak of Shadows.
Charms: 10x Shadow GCS, Annihilus, and 9x resist/run-walk charms.
I've got about 2100 life when BO'd. Not too bad. WWsin is one of the better choices to put down annoying necros.
I can post a more in depth guide on Thursday...
Edit: Just FYI, I have a 5.5k/5.3k Whirlwind, and gaining 2.1k from my Venom (which acts over 0.4 secs). Venom is fast enough for multiple triggers in a whirlwind.
Blade Shield also carries your Venom damage, so you don't even need to actually hit them at times. WWsins can be dangerous.
blckshdwdragon may also have some suggestions.

If you're planning on using poisen charms, or 290s, do not put any into poisen because it doesnt stack. + The poisen damage when maxed etc, is only what... 400-800? 5 290s pwns that.
Maybe you can lose one of the chaos for a maybe an zod eth jade or something cause your build doesn't seem to have enough resis.
No. I switch to Nat Set + Absorb and Fade vs. elemental casters. I almost never lose to a caster. If I do, it's a Trapsin who keeps me Stun locked for 5 mins in traps. Literally, 5 mins. Gay dueling tactic if you ask me...

No, my Venom does 2.1k over 0.4 seconds. Granted, it's reduced for PvP, BUT, I get 2-3 Venom hits (maybe) in a WW, and 0.4 seconds is roughly 6 frames. Venom is usually cleared and ready to roll before I hit again. Keep in mind there IS no poison absorb. 290's take forever, and are lame...
You would be surprised at how much my 'Sin has improved since last you saw her, Nick.

I know what you mean by that 5 min, happens to me too. Is there any ways to diminish the effect of that stunlock? Does faster hit recovery help in any way against that?
I'm not 100% sure if the Assassins have their own IAS breakpoints for Whirlwind or if the follow the Barb's tables and assume 1 handed weapons.
I'll be researching that on Thursday AND post a FULL guide on how to make a smitingly good WWsin (in an attempt to regain some face after blckshdwdragon beat the tar out of me for my last Assassin build).
