Ninja build help

So I’m retooling my Ninja Assassin build and there are 5 main skills for the build, but I can only max 4 of them. The skills are Claw Mastery, Dragon Claw, Venom, Shadow Master, and Phoenix Strike. Which ones should I max? And should I put the remaining 17 points into the last skill or leave it at one point and divide the points into Phoenix Strike’s synergies?

As “close and personal” type of build you don’t really need Shadow Master; right, she creates great mess and distraction (I’m play Trapsin, and use the skill), but you should be able to hold on your own against enemies.
Next, Venom when having Phoenix Strike is redundant, as you’ll have strong physical + 2 of 3 possible elemental damage types, therefore you should overcome any combination of dual immunities.

Some time ago I was pondering on my own Phoenix Strike assassin, and here is the result. You can also check various phoenix assassin guide on maxroll, wowhead, or icyveins for inspiration.
