D2x 1.10 strategy

Anyone got any tips since the new patch came out? I broke down and installed it a couple days ago, and somehow remember my username/password and my latest chars are still there. My level 50 assasin I was building on 1.09 still performs the same surprisingly (pretty decent, I might add, no good items at all either since its my highest char). It is primarily phoenix strike but I have a lot of extra skill points.

Are there any changes to assasin skills that are now worth investing in? I was thinking of maxing wake of inferno or lighting traps. And normally I would ignore Venom, but on the Aurreat Summit, it says that the poison damage is per .4 seconds?? Is that a typo? It was like 300+ dmg/.4 sec IIRC, which seems pretty damn high.

I also got a Paladin that I plan to max fanat, some holy freeze, but not sure what else. Any 1.1 ideas?
 
I have a lvl 87 blizzard sorceress on ladder that absolutely owns anything that isn't cold immune. Max blizzard/glacial spike/icebolt/cold mastery. With the synergies... My spike freezes for like 9 seconds with the bonus from blizzard, and blizzard deals 2900 damage. When you add the 160% resistance piercing from the mastery you get anything dead in under 3 seconds, even in 8 player games.

The only problem is have is with cold immune monsters, since I'm a pure cold character, I can't touch them. I play in parties all the time so it's not really a big problem though.
 
Oh, and for the pally, blessed hammer seems to be the new thing to do. You can easily get the damage to 9k+ with synergies.
 
The diabloii.net strategy guides are pretty much outdated now with 1.10, they were anyway. The forums were good but now they link to some new crap where my account now longer exists and it looks to be all WoW anyway!

I did find out that the venom is really every .4 sec. But there's always so much resistances I haven't dropped in the 12+ skill points I'm holding on. Cant figure out what to do with this assasin.
