Casting prison will tell you where the hdin is right before he telestomps you. From my experience, by the time prison casts and i see where the hdin is he teleports on top and im dead. Predict the hdin desynch and keep running and spamming. Prison works better against smiter desynch.
Decrep pretty much stops desynch all together...i love it.
Ill rewrite this guide and post a new one with all the new info ive gathered from your comments in the near future.
Thx alot to everyone![]()
One thing to note: Windies will cast/tele slower than you.
Druid @ 163% FCR = 10 frames
Necro @ 75% FCR = 10 frames
Necro @ 125% FCR = 9 frames !!
A Windy at 99% FCR is only 11 frames, which is sloooooow. Your average BvC tele's faster than that.
Casting two-three spirits around you works best vs desync (from my experience)
When you see your spirits locking the opponent, means he's close and trying to lock you, just walk down and spear.
If you're lucky and fast, you can try to hit the hammerdin with spirit AND spear at the same time - fhr lock guaranteed.
This works best for me.
I don't think most desynch Smiters are all that hard, considering all they do is Charge at you mostly. If your FHR is good, you can just tele a bit away and Spirit/Spear them to death while they're still charging at you.
If they Smite after getting close, it gets a lot harder. I usually just play very offensive and try to lock them up and never let them slow down to get a chance to come up and hit me (very mana intensive though).
Windys using the speed breakpoint hack (which allows them to cast at 7 FPS; yeah, a Windy with Sorc speed) and auto aim is the one duel I absolutely cannot beat. The most I can do is tele around randomly and spear everywhere hoping to get a lock on, but chances are they've got their FHR hacked too.
Also, I'm one of those in the Wiz > Hoto category. 90 resists (with potentially more mods from jewel) and massive mana, not to mention 50 FCR, is just too sexy. Sure the +3 skills hurt, but in the long run they take away something like 400 damage, and I'll make that trade.
Nice guide.
Stuck for input.
Yay, thanks a lot Mike
Whats wrong with the sorc section? I personally think its great ^^
I don't like the fact that every elemental character's counter strategy was "Sorb."
I'm surprised your Novamancer strat wasn't "Belt full of Anidotes eZ"
