Questions on dueling with a Desynch Hdin

[WhiteLightning]

I can work out all the skills and stats and gear, I just have a few questions about actually dueling with the char.

1) What hotkeys do you have for the different skills used in a duel? I just need those used for charge, blessed hammers, vigor, and concentration. I'm guessing most people use letters instead of the F-keys?

2) How much charging is required to desynch? How many hammers can you cast before resynching? 2? 3? Do you have to have vigor on in order to desynch?

I doubt it much matters, but this char will be in Classic, so no teleing or anything like that. I realize that everyone will have different opinions about these questions, but if you could just tell me what you guys do, it would help a lot. Thanks in advance.

I use C for hammer and V for charge with X being concentration and D being vigor. Might not be how you like it but that's how I set mine up.

I don't usually cast more than 2 hammers when I'm covering a field with them, but it's a steady number to keep desynch. Theres no exact number for finding out if you're desynched because there's no real way to tell if you are or aren't.

I can desynch pretty well.

My hotkeys are

z hammers
x charge
f1 vigor
f2 conc

Its pretty easy to use... its what im most comfortable with.


To desnch you have to charge a lot and long distances with vigor, if you can move into your opponent with a zig zag pattern that works well. You can usually get a hammer or 2 before they see you, but once your hammering next to them they will die quickly

Thanks for the replies guys. I am still working on getting all my gear set before I get too serious about lvling this char. I suppose I'll just have to practice a lot to get it down.

Fred - what fcr breakpoint did you hit? Do you think 30 would be enough? Or should I go for 50? I'm planning on using a sceptor with no fcr.

You don't need vigor active to desync.

I usually hit 50 fcr for pvp hammerdins, 30 fcr is not quite enough in all cases, and 80 fcr is overkill (except when dueling huge life barbs)



A scepter w/ no fcr? You should be ok with magefist + 2X fcr rings + fcr pal ammy.. although if you can get fcr on ur scepter it makes your ammy cheaper

Can't give much advice if on classic.

All I can say is make your own hotkeys. Suggestion;

Vigor/Charge, Conc/Hammer, both should be right beside each other.
....^------ and ------^ should be right under/over one another.

for example:

Vigor/Charge
...Conc/Hammer

.A / S
...Z / X

look at the position of these keys on your keyboard

if you follow the above example, one useful thing is that it its RIGHT by the shift button also. and NEVER be afraid to switch other keys around, such as stat screen "A" into like "H" or w/e since you don't need "Help" anyway, and it just takes a week to get used to.

then all u need is tap double keys once, desynch a bit, tap double keys directly underneath/over for ez hotkey accessage (english?).

I dont have yet hammer, but I'm making one.

First of all assign hammer/charge on left side skill tab and vigor/Concentration on right side skill tab. In this way your concentration will be always active, what means U will always deal max dmg.

As for left side skills U need to press shift to use them (unless U Namelock someone), so use any keys which are near to " left shift" (Q/S/W/X for azerty).

my b-hammers are on left click.

aura, charge, etc all on right click.
