View Full Version : Stronger Dueler, Trap, Kick, or WW?

Hey, just started using 'sins after almost a year of playing all other classes.

Started a kicksin, now 72, and have an 80 trapsin. My kicker gets owned by melee and bowzons, my trapper is great till someone throws on absorb (not that expensive, btw), so is a kicker good or not?

I may have a line on at least one choas, and have enough gear to prolly give it a try, depending on how much bramble costs I guess. Kinda give me a vague idea of the build and its strength and weaknesses, as well as relative costs.

Thanks a lot, btw, this forum has been helpfull in my 'sin explorations... :thumbsup:

right now i'm making a combo ww/ kicker.

Max claw mast
max dtalon
max venom
rest of pts into master, fade, weapon block

I'm hoping it works out good. The gear looks like a ww sin, but she can do some serious kick dmg

YEah, I saw that guide too. Looks good, but I'd probably put 1 in Dtalon and use DFlight instead. Maxing that would be a good 1 hit wonder, but WW should cover my but on the melee attacks, kicks seem redundant.

My only 2 PvP chars happen to be Assassins.. :P

I have a ww and a trapper. My trapper can kill pretty much any char that I have faced so far, but I have a tough time against Lightning sorcs. D:

My ww is very fun in duels, but once a paly or barb hostile you the fun is dead for me. I've only been able to beat one paladin ( Hammerdin, didnt have Enigma ) and I havent been able to beat a barb at all. <_<

My trapper is extremely fun to play with. I love her to death. CrazyBanana! :D

Hmmm only 2 you say, I always thought the kicker was a PvP build maybe I was wrong? (sarcasm)

Well if you read my post a little more carefully, I was saying MY only 2 pvp chars are Assassins, which happen to be a trapper and a wwsin. I havent made a kicker yet. ;)

From what I've heard a WW-sin can match everything except a WW barb and possibly a smiter. THose are acceptable to me, I a\can always switch out duelers to a windy or boner withno prob.

My main beef is that my kicker winds up only being able to duel 1-2/8 people in game, barbs and pallys and stuff I never had a hard time with before!

My anti-caster kicker can take on (not always winning but at least doing well):
Bone necs
Summon necs
Poison necs
All sorc varieties
Wind druids
FoH pallys
Hammer pallys
All zon types
Trappers
Hybrid assassins
Some non-elite melee

I never have any trouble finding people to duel unless it's a "barbduels" game or something like that.

I'm on uswest ladder. Make a char, rush it to hell act 1, and keep it below level 9 so you can't be PKed while observing duels. I'm technically on vacation from Diablo for Spring semester but I would reinstall to prove my point.

Wind druids are not hard unless they use auto-aim. Bone necros are occassionally hard. Summon necros are very rarely hard. Orb sorcs are difficult only if they play hyper defensively, in which case I force them to go on the attack. Trappers can range from easy to hard depending on absorb. Some trappers are decked out with level 50 traps and complain about any absorb at all, which is of course nearly impossible if they play defensively.

If you actually want to duel me, bring a character where we won't disagree about absorb. Bring a boner or sorc or windy or something.
