~Character Techniques~
Barbarians:
When facing a barbarian having max block is always a must. With
this build using both 20dex raven frosts and your water walks, you will
have 73% block. Having gloves with a dex mod of +8 dex or more will
give you 75% or max block. However I have never had trouble with
killing barbs. When playing against a barb, tele smiting is the best
tactic. Typically you want to aim to where they are whirlwinding and
trying to smite directly into their whirlwind. Being in the middle of a
barb is the best location for a smiter to be. This will win most of the time.
Druids:
Druids are one of the eaisiest characters to beat. Charge
usually always beats a druid, even the best druids. The technique to
learn here is namelocking them. It can be difficult to namelock while
they have a lot of summons and their whirlwind going. But if you can
namelock them,charging them to death that is the easiest way.
Paladins:
~Hammerdins~
Hammerdins are smiters hardest kill. It is hard to charge them
with all of their hammers spamming around. The way I have felt best
kills a smiter is to namelock them and tele smite them. It involves
patience and correct timing. But I have been able to beat hammerdins
many times with this technique.
~V/T's - FOHer's~
V/T's are basically tough smiters with wicked FOH. The
technique I use for them is making sure I have my Zakarium shield
(1xBer, 3xP Topaz'd) equipped. This is all that you need. It will keep
your 49% damage reduction and you will have great light resistance.
~Smiters~
This build is best used in smite vs smite. Some techniques in
smite vs smite are using your goblin toes, and blood rings with 60life.
I always try and charge around until I can get a good namelock and go
in for a charge then switch to fanaticsm and smite.
Sorceress:
~Fire - cold - light~
All sorceress' are very easy to kill with charge. Make sure to
use your kiras for the extra resistance and namelock and charge until
they are dead. Try and stock up on 20-5's just to have stacked
resistance.
Assassins:
~Trappers~
Using your kiras and resistance zakarium shield charge trappers
to death. Very cut and dry with these builds.
~Whirlwind Sins~
Believe it or not whirlwind sins are very lethal in melee
duels. I have found the best technique versus these builds is similar
to defeating barbarians. Tele smiting them while using your max block gear.
Amazons:
All types of amazons are easy to kill with charge. Most FRW
glitched zons are just annoying because they move too fast. You can
flash them with holy freeze to slow them down and proceed with the kill.
