Any well built build used by an experienced, strong, player, will not be easy to beat. thestrayboys I congratulate you for taking those points off lam3r, I don't think people grasp how hard it is take points off him, or that people appreciate your achievement.


From my point, I knew that Juan had the advantage in both skills and character. I decided to go for ~230 Mind Blast damage and boost up my FRW/Cold Resist%..
But still, I saw Juan as the most easiest matchup since all other chars who qualified was either barbarian, charger or a bowazon which I think would be way harder specially by being defensive.
In the end it was obvious that he would win due to his skills of aiming with blizzards even though my strategy was perfectly made :)

Juan deserved the win, I don't think people here are aware of how good he is.

Only people I think have a chance vs him in this tournament would be either Snatch or Ferdia..

with high FRW and DR and practice you will start getting good results vs amazons as well.

i dont know what carlo's build @ mld was. (carlo is not carlos) angel_elite's build is what thestrayboy has, and used vs lam3r here (which you said was massive char advantage in favour of blizz, which i disagree with!!). i'll see when i get home if i can pull up some of your losses vs assa's @ 30 and 49 tournaments. i really hate these sweeping statements (easy duels, massive char advantage, never lost ft5).

There has been no one that had anything near to the gear that angel_elite had for his assa build, I have tried to make one as good but the claws are impossibly hard to find.


I thought he was trapper
Then he had adv, because angel_elite's build was typical anti-sorc build
But of course, if the sorc aim better than assa, assa will loose. And juan seems to be (really) skilled.

But imo, blizz > pure trapper

We are all entitled to our own opinions i guess... ( i disagree with both of your observations for MLD ). even if he had an anti-sorc build he is still at a disadvantage in my opinion. i guess we will simply disagree on this.

yes but he has to actually successfully land. if the sorc is good enough the assa won't successfully df much (whats needed to win). in comparison the ls trapper does not need to land a df in order to win.

Well iirc you actually have to land just one. Wich is more than doable in a entire duel.

If you don't df as trapper vs sorcs it means you're defwhoring. If you're defwhoring vs a blizz sorc, you can only count on luck ( aka you're couting on bad tele, etc ). Most of time skill > luck tho.
