Dueling Questions

[Widann]

Recently I have been playing an FoH dueler that I made who is now 73. The problem I really have with this build is its versatility. I mean you either kill the person in 1-2 hits if they don't know how to duel or you get completely resisted by good duelers. I would like to start a paladin that is versatile enough to at least have a chance at killing everyone. My first thought was that I should keep my same gear and reroll this char as a vindi/temp instead of just temp. Set up would be:

Wizspike
Up'd Hoz
Shako
G-Angel
T-gods
Dwarfstar/Ravenfrost
Venomgrip/Up'd once Frostburns
Up'd once Tearhaunch Greaves*
30 resist all ammy/3 combat skill ammy for before I cast Holy Shield
Not many good charms so resist ones here and there
He would end up with 90/90/95/95 resists in hell

*I've found these to be absolutely awesome boots. The +2 vigor makes it so that you can save 3 skill points, it has about 125def, 10res, 5str, 5dex...not bad by any means.

I was also thinking that I might trade Hoz for the full gris set and start a charger? I heard they were good but that charge is buggy in duels or something? Would a zealer work better for gris set?

Just looking for any input/opinions thanks. Keep in mind this is the best gear I have, no enigma, cta etc.

You have chosen wrong gear for your FOH Pally. My FOH pally can do 6485 lighting damage, usually kill ppl in 1-2 hits in Hell. Although other ppl has 95 resistance, with T-God, plus two wisp projector ring, I can tell you, those aren't help much. You still can kill them. my gear as follows:

Perfect Griffon's Eye (Socketed it with 5/5 die lighting jewel)
Enigma Runewords
HOTO Runewords
Hoz Shield
Mara Amulet
2 SOJs
SpiderWeb Sash Belt
Magefist Glove

BTW, You have to have 10 pally combat skill GC+1 unique sc.

very easy to stack enough res to make your foh useless.

O, really? I'm on uswest ladder, if you don't mind, maybe we can try.

Yeah.. 6k damage gets turned into 1k during pvp.. then 75 resists [assuming they have enough to survive a conviction lock] with tgods and two wisps is more than enough to whittle a foh to nothing.

interesting, i didn't realize you could prebuff HS now. didn't work in 1.09

I'm on east. But 6k FoH turns to 1k after pvp penalty, which equals 50 damage after 95% res. Thus, if I used tgods you would do 10 damage. I have more than enough light res to negate a lvl 25 conviction and -%res from facets etc in hell too btw.

No. This is not true. My C/C WW+Kicker sin gear as follows

Perfect COA(Socketed in two UM runes) = 60 Resistance
Two Perfect Resistance Jade Talon = 100 Resistance
Chains Of Honer Runewords = 65 Resistance
Max Fade
Two Wisp Projector Ring
T-God

I can use my foh pally to kill her in 2 hits. If you don't believe me, we can duel in game.

I would gladly come and test it out, as I would like to see how hard a full FoHer can hit. However, my resists on my v/t are like 16\16\56\16 atm, so until I finish grabbing all my gear, I have to let someone else test it. Will get back to you tho, mind leaving your account name?

that's not quite enough lr to cover max conviction in hell, particularly if your foher uses facets. another 30-40 lr will make a huge difference in damage

also, the anya bug wasn't fixed in the patch, so if you die and don't rejoin you can't count that +30
