[ULLD] Summoners versus Ice Blast

**Ax2Grind** · 17-07-2008, 05:26

Since there isn't much FCR or FRW at low levels, and Ice Blast is one of the only casters (if not the only, tell me about others if there are) that I've heard of being a challenge, could the AI and speed of minions overwhelm such a Sorceress?

They don't have Teleport, and Necromancers only need to get Amplify Damage on her briefly, so I figure as long as you can dodge the shots, the pets should be able to survive long enough to get lethal smacks in. As for Druids, five recastable wolves and Ravens would be just as annoying, but I have yet to see these in action and that's why I'm asking. Just wondering about builds that don't need damage gear to be formidable and what gear they would need.

if ya are going dueling @ 30, fb fast casters is pretty good. (i even lost to a gg one w/ my windy) sorc is a hard to duel @ lld and even if you are good you'd probl get pwned by nercos who cast train bspirit then spear your running direction. yea.. sorc is harder to be good at 30 and more gear depended too.

Title says VLLD which is level 9, hence him stating that sorceress would lack teleport

Ice bolts freeze summons, and so does the cold armor. Ravens and wolves would work though. It'd still be a long duel of chipping down life very slowly.

Ice blasters are allowed to go to 12 according to most people's vlld rules.

While summoners are an incredible build (or sac / summon necs) an ice blaster is the perfect counter to one.

The ice blaster should definitely win this duel. With high def 4os def glitched armor, and high level frozen armor, the sommons will kill themselves, and then the necro will be easy to finish off alone.

Aw, CLvl12? That's just mean. Yeah, at that point there's too much damage and gear to support it that Necromancers don't stand much of a chance with just Clay Golem. Druids, though... interesting.
