View Full Version : Best PvP build for non-rushed PvM?

I've been debating with some people in the Diablo 3 general forum about whether rushing characters (http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=732683) is good or bad for the game, and it seems to me that if Blizzard were to make it impossible to rush a character and leech up to the level you want to duel at, that would be a serious blow to the PvP fans.
Everyone knows that any character who can do well in PvP can also do well at PvM. But most characters built for PvP never really play PvM until they're already leveled up -- most of them don't even spend a single skill or stat point until they've reached their dueling levels.
So my question is, supposing that it were impossible to have a character rushed, and you had to get every single experience point from kills you made yourself, what would be the best way to build a PvP character who had to grind through the low levels on his own?

most viable pvp builds can do this no problem, even if their main attack skill is level 30 there are synergy skills to help level them up. the only one i can think of atm would be pure ghost sin, as she gets her main attack at high level from chaos.

ok, we're assuming here that you DON'T get XP from kills made by party members yuh? that's gonna slow EVERYONE down bigtime.
for several builds, this would present few problems (beyond actually having to kill things).
what WOULD be needed is a sweet set of twinking gear so you can survive until lvl 90 (or insert preffered level here). things like 5str LC's and rings/amulets/belts with big +str and low reqs would be very much in demand.
actually, most current pvp builds could probably do this with minimal stress.
hammerdins are broken as it is and can demolish everything, naked if needs be.
necros have corpse explosion and Dim Vision, so they're sweet. ditto for 'sins with Cloak of Shadows and Death Sentry.
you're average sork will be fine through nightmare, but will need some help through hell.
smiters are going to find the going pretty slow unless they have access to a nice 1pt zeal weapon to help.
barbs will most likely be the big losers here. with no AoE attack (unless you're a Singer ofc) and they "need" a decent weapon in a way that no-one else "NEEDS" a decent weapon.
druids: i have no idea, never built a druid.
Zon's: should be pretty sweet. iirc, 1pt Plague Javelin was enough to level me from whatever level i got plague jav through to the end of NM.
it would just slow rebuilds down immensly and REALLY piss you off if you overspend in a stat.
