psn pvp mancer

[chaos_masterzz]

what is the average dmg of a psn nova necro? with all synergies maxed and some what decent gear is it possible to take down a godly barb to one health?

my equipment it this

shako
vipermagi (lookin 4 nigma)
waterwalks (4 dex)
trangs gloves
trangs belt
trangs shield (trangs 4 -25 enemy res and more psn dmg)
deaths web (still looking :shocked: )
and maras ( would a 3 to pnb ammy be better?)
1 ravenfrost (4 block)
1 sojs (if i can find)

3 curse gcs -_- can't find pnb

and btw is a monarch sanctuary worth ne thing? (srry if in wrong forum im new here)

i will go max block, sooo what do u guys think? will it be any good or am i wastin time?

I can tell you what my damage is with the following setup to give you some estimation:
shako umed
maras
enigma
dweb 2/2
trang shield
trang belt
trang gloves
soj
nagel/natures peace
wartravs
torch
anni
6 pb skillers (12 fhr and plain)
Nova damage: ~8.3-8.7k iirc. Not too bad.

oh ok thnx alot. also, what should i socket my trang shield with? a shael 4 block rate, p diamond 4 res, or psn facet 4 dmg?

[elmek]

I socketed mine with ptopaz for bonus lightning resist (as it already gives fire and poison, 3 piece trang gives 40 cold on belt. If you'd wear trang armour you'd get bonus lightning but I highly suggest enigma or vipermagi as a poor option).

just a note. You will NEVER take a Godly, prepaired barb to 1 health. I really want to see a 10k nova doing about 7k dmg to 85 resistances, which is pretty impossible, as a 10k nova would do about 750 dmg in Hell difficulty, over 4 seconds. Easily countered with Death's gloves, this gives u the dmg of 187.5, over 1 second, making it impossible to kill a 7k barb in 1 nova. Then again, with only 15 resistances after Lower Resistances (my BvC has this when not prepaired), u have the dmg of 5750, over 4 seconds, thus giving u 1437.5 dmg for a second. But then again, this is not enough to kill a Godly BvC in 1 hit.

I'm sorry to bust your bubble of a novamancer killing a Godly Barb. Also, WWsins and Trappers will beat u (with Fade your LR does nothing to their resistances).

Plz someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if Pnova does for example 750 dmg over 4 seconds, I think it deals 750 dmg per second, which after 4 seconds turns out to be 3000. Not 100% sure though as I really do not pvp.
Also do not forget about -poison resist in gear. Good poison necro can easily have -75% and top can be -85% (not counting 4pfaceted armour or stuff like that). :cool:

There's always a hit and run strategy for psn necro vs. baba.

[elmek]

I guess it's strategy vs everything when playing poison necro mate

[chaos_masterzz]

but doesnt deaths web do minus like 45% psn res? im not sure, and i will have a 5/5 facet in it. also, 3 trang pieces gives -25% res, plus i will use lower resistance, wouldn't that take down resistances easily? also no 1 answered my shield question :P. and is it possible 2 get a deaths web or a maras with sanctuary and ist?

actually the barb only needs 2 carrion winds and treks to sorta wreck the novamancer. The barb will be much faster and even with good BA at over 600 and max block and DR with SS the barb's ww will get you before the poision really does a lot.

This sorta wrecked my godly build (really good barbs that is, average barbs or non stacking barbs can be beat without too much of a problem). Barbs with the setup which I listed above will make the duel a real hard challenge since they are so fast.

Also ranged attackers can also pose a slight problem but not as much of a problem as a stacking barb with 6.5k + health.

I still love novamancers though, even my barb owned one hehe.

Long live the poisonmancer
