Invest hard points in strength.

5 hard in strength costs you 15hp. A large charm takes up two slots, which is 40hp.

Gear... erm, where to start? Figure out what your build goals are going to be, then build around them. ATM the only fhr you have is stone (which admittedly has a lot) but which also happens to be an awful armour for a kicksin, with a massive ~80% defence boost from cos to back it up.

Guillaume's/Duress/Sanctuary/rare GT's/trang's gloves is more balanced. On the GT's look for ias, fool's, +sin skills, sockets and good staffmods (venom, mindblast, blade fury), socket it with ums (2 ums in your weapon, duress and gores are a handy 93% chance to proc OW).

If you're using a fool's claw angelics isn't really necessary, though it'll probably come in handy against a bunch of melee builds. Use a rare ammy with +2ma, res, life etc. SoJ's are probably your best bet for rings, if you don't have access to them then res all/strength/life etc are the next best thing. Look for +10 dex on your jewellery so you can put the dex on angelic's to use.

You'll probably need an IAS jewel in your guillaume's to hit 7/3 kicks.


Skillwise:
Max talon. 5 kicks will be a little clunky against casters, but you'll need talon maxed to have any hope against melee.
Max venom. damage damage damage damage damage.
Get 1 into WoF and flight, and then balance the rest between mindblast and fade (yuck mindblast), depending on how effective you want to be against casters or melee respectively.

Stats:
There are two options here - the usual, enough str for gear, dex for max block, rest in vit.

Or, the more fun option (may get you wtfpwnt by melee, though I wouldn't hold my breath against a zealot or concer anyway), dex for max block, rest in strength, and get life from your charms/gear. As a kicker, the vast majority of your phys damage comes from strength.

Play it somewhat like a ghost against casters, except you have an awkward 24-frame teleport. Set up your stunlock, tele in (and hopefully you won't miss) then kick the crap out of them.

You'll probably want to fool around with the build a bit too. I'm not sure if a good rare circlet would beat out guillaume's, you might want to try crow caw against melee to fit more damage into your build.

alright thanks man, ill probably remake and mess with it anyways, so venom does work with kicks?

Yes, although it's not shown on the LCS.
