View Full Version : maximum power town mangler
for the best town camping fun, make a ww barb entirely focused around max damage:
- all points in strength
- grief/grief or a huge poleaxe of ebotd
- fort in a heavy armour
- highlords
- gores
- guillames
- max/ar/life charms
- no points in Inc Speed
- hsarus instead of gores/belt is a good option
hostile everyone, and wait for retreating players to come in or anyone to run out of town gap.
either go out a small distance and ww across the town entrance, or go out half a screen and ww back into town. In this manner, you should not die because you will end your WW in town and be able to heal even if technically "killed".
this is most enjoyable with a necro partner to golem + decrep you so your WW is an extremely small massively desyncing vortex of punishment that cannot be stopped, and to amp everyone else making sure they die instantly.
nothing is more hilarious than mowing down retreating players with an extremely slow town-bound ww, or crumpling max dr, max block paladins with 5k life in 2 or 3 hits as soon as they walk out (especially by ww-ing with their charge as they exit town).
Even when everyone gangs against you and you manage to die outside town, picking a fat body up is easy from this distance. but in any case, your mission has been achieved by polarizing everyone in a game against your tyranny.

angry because you've been 1 hitted by my guy when attempting a cp hail mary?
i think you do not understand the concept of town camping. it is to create a wall of annoyance at the town threshold, for whoever thinks they can cross it from either direction, with minimum risk to oneself. character death is meaningless to the town camper, the body is always retrievable.

One hammer > you.
Bowazon > you.
Any necro > you.
Any decent player > this plan.
Believe it or not, since you'll be so slowed from the necro, anything with decent FRW or FCR breakpoint (tele) will be able to get out of range and pummel your No Block, No Life, No DR% barb.

for shame.

Can we keep this one clean please??
Townguard is part of the game and I would hope that we can discuss it in civil manner...

people can just duel somewhere else or team up against you, and your build is just a sitting duck in town

While we're at it, double posting is frowned upon here as well, just a heads up.

How do you do multi quotes?

I don't see a multi-quote function here, so you just have to copy-paste the text and make the quote-tags manually.

you can just do that with any barb, just cheeze it up with a paladin that gives you concentrate, might,fanatiscm and a how of wolverine up all the time, but whats the point its boring and proves nothing

the idea of a barb wwing the entrance is good and pretty old but yeah, grief/beast does more damage or go for a range 5 weapon. The trouble is you won't catch people trying to run out unless theyre naked maybe
getting a bone nec in your team with decrypt and amp will help make those hits count
why wasting time town guard when you can duel for real

grief/grief is way better if you get a pala with auras park in town, and this is what his build is about, i seen it done but that dood added thorns too lol its ridiculous damaging you wont ever die and hdins die in like 2-3 good hits

well ok sure if you get fanat from somewhere else 2 grief is better
but i don't understand how is grief/grief better if you're on your own? - yes i know this is a little off topic

seems grief/beast is better if you cant get aura, but for a barb who towns you might as well go nuts, get a druid with lvl 50 oak sage, paladin with all auras, you'll be unkillable while doing insane ammounts of damage.

you have to be a little practical, if you get an oak druid, an aura pally, and a nec to help you why not get a pally of each aura and you can take up all 8 spots in the game

it is practical, druid summon gcs are worth crap, the only things being expensive might be runewords
paladin carries last wish, have fana on,get a merc with pride while wearing a bramble
never in my life have i seen 1 hammer kill any decent barb with bo on
even i @ 7k life take about 3-4 hammers sometimes 5 if im very lucky to face a noob hdin

So, you're going to spend how much to minorly inconvenience someone?
wot about a druid summoner?
You summon a bear outside town u were throns + beast and or have a supporter in game with you like a pala giving auras this way u have a hard hitting bear at the same time if ppl hit it they get hurt badly by thorns.
Again its will not pwn all but its a safer option as u dont actually leave town u just summon the bear.
Also i think blizz sorcs make better townguards as u build it toward high dmg blizz and simply blizz and run back in, and because u go back into town it looks like the blizz has stoped then "BAM!" ppl get hit by the fallout.
tbh these builds do not work vs ppl with common sense i myself always bo at a wp when i first come to a game secondly i check the entrance and if i c a townguarder i simply go to stony wp and tele back...

fissure druid > blizz for town guarding
the only time people dont see blizz is if they are offscreen while you cast it. fissure on the other hand works in the way you described.
but to stay on topic, a bvc can do this just as easily as well as giving you a viable pker...

His barb is using a polearm or dual grief as he mentioned in his first post.
maybe they should make a grizzly/fissure hybrid ;D

a bvc does this the best imo,1 never dies, 2 huge damage, 3 easy to nk,4 just 4 into town hehe

it's called a shaman and it works magic for town guarding.

a cp hail mary?
What the crap is that?
What the crap is that?
Taken from Wiki: A Hail Mary pass or Hail Mary play in American football is a forward pass made in desperation, with only a very small chance of success. The typical Hail Mary is a very long forward heave thrown at or near the end of a half where there is no realistic possibility for any other play to work, though the most famous were thrown at the end of a game.
Basically coming from cp and killing you. Rendering town guard kind of pointless.

I am so going to use that now.
Good plan. Alternatively, just make a BvC with chicken and use slightly longer WWs than necessary, which, if you're reduced to 1 life, should let you S+E with ease.... >.>

I sincerely hope that you are not advocating the use of third party software here... :evil: A bit of necromancy on my part but well worth it, take a look at our forum rules plase.
