best way to counter those bm abyss locks in pub duel games?

i'm assuming their demon is no longer such a huge problem

whats the best build/class to counter them?

it's an abyss lock that is build specifically to pk other abyss lock, so no resists dr etc

whats the cooldown like on abyss? Does it hit through minions? Is there a delay from cast to damage or is it instant? do abyss locks have a spammable stomp attack or do they play like shitty blizzers?

in any case, the answer is probably energy shield and integer magic damage reduction + flat magic absorb (like on spirit)

10k life barb with 30 magic res maybe. Wont die at least and you can grief him by killing his demon, or hammerdin 0 block /dex all vit/hp build

I tried that actually as a 8,2k life bvc (it’s like 50k fg barb) with horazon boots, died in 1 second trying to telestomp him, couldn’t even juv before the whirlwind was over

I thought ES Blizz was the move to delete abyss locks? I don’t have a sorc though, so haven’t tried it.
