Best PvP-er now

[nogarduv]

Hi all,

Wow... I haven't been here for so long now.

Since 1.10 came basically I stopped playing this game. Now just looking around and sometimes check news on this forum regarding D3.

But anyways, during my D2 time I was a fanatic PvP-er and I'm just curious how the PvP scene is now.

What char(s) is the most reliable in pvp? (during my days it was Ama and Sorc strongest and Barb can kill everyone)


Cheers,

[Sh4dovv]

the main ones;

elemental wind druid
bone nec
bvc barb [barb with a little bit of fcr, and 2 axes, for tele/ww kill]
blizzard sorc [16k dmg with -260%+ enemy resist!]
trap assassin

[befkonijn]

i add:

bowzons!!
200fcr fireball soso's

[hulla-hop]

sorcs: orbers with or without es, lightsorcs not too common, fireballers. all very strong

amas: cs-zons and ga ofc

pala: hammerdins, smiters most common, but also "dreamers" utilizing the new Dream rw with conviction

Barbs: ww-barbs reigns supreme. one of the strongest and most versatile builds.

Necros: summoners with beast, pride merc and teleport. bone spear/spirit with nice absorbing armors are very very tough to beat for any classes.

druids: winddruids most common and a strong char

assas: whirlwind assas and trappers both very nice duellers


and i prolly forgot a whole bunch of powerfull chars.

Ah thanks for the replies.

What I wonder is that ama's are still in the list.. GA isn't that strong anymore without pierce. Only what I can think of is 7fps ama's but then with DR gear it is game over for ama.

What I find funny is the dual weap barb (create one myself during 1.09) is also powerfull? With no block?

Wind druid.. yes i have seen them and played them but I hope there is a cure for them now.

Fire/Ice sorc ... glad to hear they are still powerfull. My QUEEN.

Bone Nec: my favorite! How about poison nec? Zoo nec is common and used before but I could imagine more now with enigma.

Also very glad barb is still strong.

Assa: well I thought they would suck now because of all enigma.

Pala: dreamer is new to me... new build? But love to have the hammerdin back. Smiter is not that strong in 1.09 so why now?

Cheers,

Barbs are just versatile, they do not "zomg pwn everyone"...

There is NO 1 dominant build that can take on all others easily...

Do like I did, build a few PvP chars, based on each other's weaknesses..

Fire Sorc
Bone Necro
WW Barb

Bone Necro < WW Barb < Fire Sorc < Bone Necro < etc etc etc...

This way you'll have every weakness "covered"..

Or if you're rich just make one of each..lol

But ultimately, it's more about who's playing the character than the character itself...

barbs dont need block rly, the ones he is talking about is made for caster killing, since they make the bulk of ur opponents

Barbs ONLY need block/def vs other wwbarbs period.

GA is still pretty strong. It's still very fast and homes very well. The new Faith runeword bow has Fanatacism on it so their damage and speed is pretty high these days.

They have enough life and kill fast enough that they can tank anything that they could block for the most part. WW barbs designed specifically for melee/barb dueling with shields are the only thing that the BvC barb would need a shield for.

Trappers and WW sins. Both can lock them down with MB+traps.

Psn necs can still be dangerous, but like most elemental chars they can have their damage reduced drastically.

The best WW sins use Enigma now. They are still very good.

Yeah, the dreamer is a new build as of the last ladder season's new runeword Dream. The Smiter can get damage as high as 10k smite with the new runeword Grief. Even before that though, they were practically kings of melee combat next to the WW barb.

Oh yeah, barbs aren't exactly bad vs windies either... =)
