BvC help

[jkjoker]

Okay so I've read the stickied guides and I've come up with these items I'm going to buy for my friends BvC (I'm officially quitting D2 so I'm setting him up with a char. ~will have 4000 NL high runes)



Helms:

CoA
Arreats
BO helm
Kiras * 2 ( 70 res)
Griffons

Armor:
Enigma
Treachery

Weapons:
2*doom
Grief
Beast
Widowmaker
demon limb
2*wizzys (um'd)

Belts
Arachnids
Dungoes
Tgods

Gloves
Trangs
Dracs


Ammys
Highlords
Angelics
+3 warcries

Rings
2*ravenfrost
2*FCR rings w/ AR -> mana -> life -> res NN stats
2*wisps
2*angelic ring

Boots
Rare tri res w/ 30 FRW
Gores
Hotspurs

Charms:

Annihilus
Torch
4x 5/5s
3x 20/17s
5x 20/5s
25x 32020s

Everything should fit w/ merc holding treachery, one Kiras and 2 wizzys (<- theorycrafting on the last one here).

Any suggestions?

Going to be used for almost exclusively public dueling I think. Friend is decent (knows basics of playing a barb) but isn't great either.

Main Setup

2*Doom switch
Highlords
Enigma
Beast
Grief
Trangs
Arachnids
CoA
2 Ravenfrost
tri res boots

There is a PvP BvC guide in the guides section, I suggest you check there. I think it answers all of your current questions.

dont use two dooms imo, grief + beast works better.

He intends to use them for bo switch :yes:

@OP = that's a pretty cookie cutter barb there, depending on preferences you could ditch some of it like wisps or bo prebuff stuff, i've never used those on my barb.

I personally don't recommend using Griffons. Unless you really have cash to throw around, it will be a waste. You will seldom use it anyway.

i'm partial to hsarus, but it's up to you. also, i carry a fort w/ ow,str,life crafted belt vs. real nasty hdins. you're gonna want to play him a little and figure out what you need for your playstyle, but read yuqing's guide first... pretty helpful info there.

Thing is I'm qutting and just buying this for a friend who has decent technique but no idea how to build chars :)

I guess I'll just get him a mule with extra stuff on it then

yes, hsarus is good when angelics are overkill, will cost you about 0.000000000001 HRs

[jkjoker]

actually given the screwed up state of NL and the forum I tend to trade on Hsaurs costs me about 1 hrs :)
