No you can use venom and speed burts together, it's only fade and speed burst that you can't. Think of them Paladin Aura's, you can't use two at the same time, (with item specific exceptions)

That is if you have 1:10 installed if you don't then Venom will overide Speed and vice versa.

@Grimar: You can download the 1.10 patch from battle.net, here:

For you assa, did you plan to go pure MA (Martial Arts), or make a trap/MA hybrid? There are many possible builts. With the new synergies and the faster and tougher monsters in 1.10, some planning is needed.

A pure MA assa can be built with Tiger Strike/Dragon Tail for instance, or with Phonix Strike+Synergies. You can mix MA and Shadow skills and use Dragon Claw/Venom. You can also make a hybrid, for instance with Dragon Talon/Light Sentry/Death Sentry, or with Tiger Strike/Dragon Tail/Wake of Inferno.

There are also various builts where you mix Shadow skills and traps, but since you have already put points in Claw Mastery and all charge-up skills, you should continue with MA. In order not to waste any skill points, I would make a Phonix Striker out of your assa if you have put a point in Phonix Strike. That's a very nice built, I used to have one before

In 1.10 I have played 3-4 assas, one Tiger Strike/Dragon Tail, one Blender fury (use Blade Fury and Blade shield), one Dragon Talon and now I am playing one which I haven't decided yet what to do with. She's lvl 30 like yours, and I think I make her Tiger Strike/Dragon Tail too, that's my favourite assasin build.

I like to play with passive skills and martial arts.I got all the martial arts skills exept finishing moves because i don`t consider them necesary because you can finish the move with a normal hit that is faster.thanks to all of you for your help.
