I covered your above points, to my own satisfaction, if not yours. In terms of the light sorc comment I know you dont like to telestomp alot. This tactic works for you. However not everyone is as good as you at middle distance dueling. Repeated telestomping with a ESLight sorc is the most suitable tactic to win vs bowazons. If you want to challenge this comment thats fine, but we will simply agree to disagree on the matter.


I remember harabec sorc was like no TS and high light dmg. It doesnt makes up for the loss of TS imo, but works good on players without patience.

In terms of the light sorc comment, I was not directing this at you - I would regard you as one of the top 3 all round best MLD players over the last 7 years on europe (the other 2 being Lee and Jim). I know you dont like to telestomp alot. This tactic works for you and is presumably from EU-PVP experience (HLD). However not everyone is as good as you at middle distance dueling. Repeated telestomping with a ESLight sorc is the most suitable tactic to win vs bowazons. If you want to challenge this comment thats fine, but we will simply agree to disagree on the matter.

As we don't allow TG on bowa vs Light sorc - repeated telestomping should be the no.1 tactic. The bowa has no time to play his game. The match is dictated by the sorc player.


i didn't feel offended.. i was just amused :p

great effort.
however, i dont like that you list options that are simply not worth mentioning:
res/ias armor/helm (ed is always better), res boots (wt is always better - charms are the way to go), mana amulet (3pm is always better), rare belts/mavina (craft/soe is always better).

you mention replenish life being important but you did not list repl gloves in gear selection.

the point behind going for "vita build" is that the added % of life is larger than that of damage, if remaining stats go to dex. in that context i also miss the -req socketing for bow.

if i were to start playing amazon, i would probably have some sort of idea of what my options are and would want to know which are the best without having to calculate myself - not read through my options again.


Life/res charms are better I agree, but I rather use a res/ias circlet and few charms to cuz im not switching 15 charms evertime im up for a new elemental. also keep few all res items for tvt.

I agree with mana amulet, I would use use 3pm 100life and ring and charms imo I like alot of mana 350 should be ok but 400 is what you should aim for.. if your ama use multi then you want to have 450-500~


lrep from ring, gloves and shield.

Nice guide once again Ferdi, thought you would of already had a Bowie guide!
Nice examples. I agree with both you, adde and Alex about the scs, life/CR is better but, resis circ and a couple of scs is quicker.

Not sure if your idea of WSG is the same as mine :)  In terms of WSG, switching even once = WSG. i.e. When a Kicker is approaching - and has cast a trap, and a MindBlast at you, by switching ONCE ONLY to jav Slot, Firing Fury, and then switching back to GA and firing - this is WSG. I'm not talking about mashing the keyboard to excessively switch slots here (which completely negates stun animations etc, turns the user invisible and causes the character to jump screens etc), we have all had that conversation many times during 49 tournaments. I would note however that keyboard mashing is used by some people at other dueling brackets. TY4Feedback. I'll ask to get it stickied in a few days.

To clarify as well - the Hyperion is on West, I could not find anything similar on Europe to use as an example.
I had meant to post this over a year ago but got lazy  :P


well i have another defintion of it

i know the weapon switch glitch as the glitch that results when u'r switching the weapon slots fast while running, the character will desynch then, the desynch will be enhanced by different frw on both slots.
The glitch gets abused by alot bowas, with the excuse that they have to use fury and ga, thats atleast my experience. And as far as i know changing ur weapon slots fast with the purpose to create that glitch is BM, and was once even written down in the holy rule book.^^
Anyway changing the slots to get rid of the stun created by mindblast and the traps is another things which gets highly abused in my opinion. I have seen that pretty often in pub duels and tvts,too. Thats why i stumbled over it, i do not wanted to offend you in any point, its a great guide and anyone who is making a mld bowa can be happy that you have shared your experience with this guide.
