Both phys and elemental claw assassin are excellent at bossing, not so much at farming. Main skill is usually Noctule.

If you are working towards building a phys claw assassin, you might as well farm Teganze over fauzt, since you want a Xis rune for
Shark (Xis)
and earth runes for
Wind Runner

Wind Runner
Boots

'SilElqSilGul'
Runeword Level: 100
+(0 to 1) to All Skills
50% Attack Speed
10% Movement Speed
Adds 25-68 Damage
250% Bonus to Attack Rating
(12 to 15)% Life stolen per Hit
+(171 to 200)% Enhanced Defense
which are pretty important items for that build.
