Current Firewall Dueling Techniques

[Kareya]

Anyone wanna fill me in on the current firewall dueling techniques people use?

[Phyrexial]

I don't think you can duel effectively with firewall...

[Kareya]

No!!! Don't diss firewall! You nonbeliever! =) It always worked for me back then.

[dyn4mik3]

please dont come back, my nec still has nightmares from your firewall

Hi evilernecro! Long time no see. Does Clan Gimmeitam channel still exist? I would check if I can. I don't even have diablo2 anymore. Any when I was in Fort Gordon, GA training, my account got robbed during that new patch. I never registered my account with an email address. If I still had my account, I would still be playing every now and then.

[mepersoner]

I told you it doesn't exist. T.T

However, if you're looking for anyone from GI, they're still "around" for the most part...

[Kareya]

Ahh I see. I wasn't sure how dead GI was. I was just thinking that there were only 2 people in that channel most the time rather than the channel being completely abandoned.

I used to play on the misterspeed account (and a few others back in gimmeitam). I started playing again when 1.10 started. I remember your firewall attacks. Very effective. But you also had teleport, which made your execution that much more difficult and skillfull. Unfortunately the only dueling group of consequence now bans teleport across the board.

firewall isnt that much good anymore nowadays since nobody runs across the land

i guess u can use it to take down a slivered oppoent by casting at their feet

[dyn4mik3]

btw kareya im starting up again too - i lost all my accounts...im restarting up on ladder...if you want i think i got some basic junk - we can combine forces heh.

Hey OCV-Kareya! I was *D1ce. the trapper Kiyohime. People still don't believe that you killed effectively with FW and Blizz in v.09 with less than 500 life, hehe. Anyways, like mentioned before, FW in duels is essentially dead due to low damage and teleport. However, I'm sure if you came back you'd be able to reinvent it ;)

Wow you still remember OCV =). I thought they were long forgotten lol. What do u mean by firewall being dead because of low damage and teleport? And what does dumbpig mean when he says that no one runs across the land anymore. Does every class teleport like crazy now?

I'm sorta disappointed that Firewall doesnt get any synergies =) I would be able to get an ultrapowerful firewall.

Any evilernecro, I'll think about playing again. The problem is that I am in South Korea right now. I think it will lag if I played on USWest. Lag really ruins the game.

And another question. How in the world do sorcs duel without teleport? I would die with 1 WW, 1charge, 1 druid hit, etc.

[dyn4mik3]

In the league that bans teleport - they put together some run walk caps to make it more "fair". I don't play in that league so I don't really know if it works.

Dont worry about that teleport thing too much... it is for CH people only~~~ Since Fire wall has no synergy skill at level 45 it only has 16k damage per 2 sec, but in the same level Level 45 fire ball deal 20k damage in a single hit, and the new 1.10 rune word "Enigma" gave every one teleport ability, so every one just tele like crazy now~~ espacially necro.... most of necro always spwan BS and tele 3 screens away when you tele into his screens, let the spirit aim for them... :creep:

I'm no expert sorc duelist, but firewall is far from dead as far as public dueling goes. I use it ALL the time (Mine is like 8.9K per sec or so, level 1 base), it works really good agianst necros that spirit spam, and bowazons. Both generally have really low resistances. I'm more of a 1:1 or FFA person so team dueling it will be alot different. I'd say I have a few hundred of legitimate 1:1 public kills just by firewall alone. Once you learn how to really aim it, it can reach around corners and cut off potential paths. One thing to look out for is rising sun, it totally removes any possible damage. Better to stick with firebolt in those situations. Generally using fireball/firebolt, hydra, meteor and firewall will confuse most people. Also 85+%max resists (Nokozan or Hotspurs) is cheaper than dual dwarf stars with 80% resistance, and will reduce any possible damage down to 20-100 per hit even with firebolt and -30% fire. Don't duel these type's of people. GL: Come to east some time.
