Hello.

Many questions on how to build pvp chars...
So i helped you out.

First post will be dedicated to sorc's, but not light sorc as im never used that^^ If i ever built one it would be a self wielding infi sorc with nova or smt.

Blizz sorc:
105fcr, 86fhr is the way to go.
I suggest ES none block. Since FHR is bugged theese becomes even stronger now.
Important aspect of blizz sorc:
- Damaga and pierce of cold res. Pierce of cold res is more important that "visual" high damage.
- High mana
- Frw and cnbf
- Breakpoints (86fhr and 105fhr)
- Since this is a 95% es precast sorc, resists is not very important....

The ammu gives 23str. If ur nerd enough to level to 99 this means strenght are covered for our build as long as you have perf torch, annie and 9 str from somewhere else.
So the worst that can happen with lesser items on lvl 99 is that u need to stat those strenght... No big issue....
So dont worry if ur stats/items/lvl are lower etc... It does not mean much.... This is a very close to perfect setup build and everything above 4k mana is usable.

The reason for cham rune and high frw is to counter two of the 2 nemesis of the blizz sorc. Fire sorc and ele druid.
Druid has hurricane who freeze, and fire sorc usually run chilling armor for freeze. So we need that cham. Run/Walk style is very effective vs those.
Run walk is very effective vs assa, nec, hammer, tele smiter etc as well.

Given state of sorc is with normal gear which u can use vs every class.
https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/gi0106af
4960 mana! 95% es. (all precast eq is in items there... So u can test urself)
9,7k blizz dmg and -265 enemy cold res.

Here is the simplest and easiest anti psn setup, 150 plr and high 241 psn res, hell reduce with -100:
Death + Sands
https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/m30106s2

Here is a stronger anti poison setup, 250plr, 251 pr, if all went to shit vs a psn nec or smt u could add a carrion, but i dont see any point in that, this setup is extreame already:
https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/hi0106hf

Oki, now fire sorc:
We only reskilled + changed skillers into fire + changed df into hoto.
We used our previous anti psn diadem. Else all is the same...
We end up at 21k damage, 105fcr, 86fhr, 5,2k mana, 150plr, 200+ pr, 73@

It looks like this on standard setup:
https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/980106g3

Standard gear actually have 125fcr. So we can easely swap either belt or helm without thinking on other than the 9str helm has...
We added theese:
Dungo (a DR% add which can come handy vs barb/bow/ele druid)
Snakecord (more anti psn)
Strings (DR% and mdr which is strong on es sork)
https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/1o0106ws

And we added a orb for nerds and rich guys to boost damage....
https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/t20106dn


Psn dagger Sorc aka melee sorc:
Made now PSN DAGGER SORK!
https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/gb01068n

No precast is involved, venom from arach is equipped.

Stats speaks for itself:
75% es (if u bother precast u get: 6 more from es memory, 3 more from helm, 1 more from ammu, 1 more from secondary soj, 2 more from 3es ormus = 88%. I did not even bother making it xD)
20 base tk
U can also go all in and precast enchant: 5 more Chant/fire mastery orb, 9 more via skillers, 3 more via helm(and 2 facets), 1 more via ammu, 3 more via 3ench ormus and 20% FEUER, 1 more magefist, 1 more secondary soj. = 25 more skills to fire mastery and enchant and 30% fire increase on top.
75% block
3,2k mana
1,3k life
good resists

Oki now dmg profiles(no chest precast).
Venom/Psn dagger psn damage: 945-1163 over 3,6 seconds(remember the -100 plr in hell)
Light damage: 115-66600
Fire damage: 2045-2416
Cold dmg: 1-6
physical dmg: 64-479
Sums up at: 3170 - 70739 damage!
Attacks per second: 9pfa aka 2,77 attacks pr second.

Thunder storm: 2548-3190

Holy shock aura:
6-3368 at long range
12-6736 at close range
and ofc 2 ticks of this pr time.

Lr cast from knife:
-43 enemy res.

Ofc u can choose or find sword with same stats but zeal charges.

Attack raing base: 75+1630+1733+120 = 3558
Bonuses:
Enchant: 299%
Psn dagger: 110%
Zeal: 40%

Full ar on psn dagger: 18110

Zeal attackspeed and ar:
3,28 attacks per second.
Full ar on zeal: 15619


If u cant afford diadem on sorc's, then just use this:
3cold/20fcr/2facet diadem for cold sorc
Shako for fire sorc, or 2sorc or 3fire/20/2 for fire sorc...

If cant afford ammu:
Blizz: 3cold/10fcr clean
Fire sorc: 2/10 clean/or lower adds...
You will need to stat str to cover the miss.

Okay, I guess ill do barb now:

I'll try to explain the build:
Its a wirlwind barb with 1 hell of a throw, and lvl 1 leap as leap and stun in general is nerfed. Since stun is nerfed I did not skill war cry either.
Currently the build is setup up to play vs:
Hammerdin, Nec, Trapsin, light sorc and can easely duel fire sorc as well by just swapping boots into hots.
I would however remove javs vs trap and sorc, and make room for full bo equipment in cube.
By swapping beast with stormshield 'eld' u have just decided to have low damage at the gain of block, so you might as well ditch ur gores to use shadows and then u get 75% block.
Swap scs as needed to get more life, as you now will have 30fhr from shadows on ur way to reach 48fhr. You only need the lc and 2 scs with fhr when rocking shadows or coa or guilaume or arreats.
This setup also fits FPK nice.
https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/b30106f6

You can easely read the damage here, it does however not include the chance to deal double damage in its number, neither the berzerk/wirl/double throw bonuses...
Wirl will land at 4fpa each axe, aka 2 fpa wirl. (12,5 attacks per second) and can easely handle stuff like arach slow. It will end up at 5fpa vs nec like any reasonable barb build.
Meanwhile double throw lands at a total sum of 5 fpa. 63 Ias is needed for that, you have 75. Landing 4,5 fpa double throw would require 98 ias which is not viable without valk 08 on a barb made for mainly wirl and berzerk but with added strong ranged skill.

The attack rating is great here:
Wirl: 17717
Berzerk: 18781
Double throw:
Lacerator: 17259
Winged harpoon: 23062

Now, what we have not discussed yet is vs ele druid, vt/smiter, foh, cold sorc.
Duels where you want both 2 axes and DR or Light/Cold stack.

Vs cold, i did not bother to add the small charms you should. A few 20/11 or 20/5@ and ur up for stacking cold sorc.
https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/wa0106dk

Vs VT with high foh damage, swap some scs for more light res, and u only need the 1 lc for fhr,
we actually just run 20fcr break vs them.
https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/1w01062i

Vs ele druid:
https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/4y0106b0

You can also run 37 or 63fcr + oak from wisp vs bowa if u want. Higher risk/higher reward.

Important breakpoints:
Fcr: 20 - 37 - 63
Fhr: 27 - 48 - 86

Again:
When u decide throw is not a relevant attack vs some enemies you put the javs in stash, then you add bo helm etc in cube instead. And you easy get 7k+ life.
The bo done on this planner is with 1 bo wep, 3wc ammu, 1 soj + normal gear....
Missing: 6 bo helm(which should be FALFAL to be able to bo with 2 sojs safe), as well as 2 bo wep instead of 1, and missing a soj xD So ur bo level can be: 8 skills higher.

If you decide to use a widowmaker instead of throws, or no ranged attack i can help with that as well. Will be very simular. Yet some easier setups for DR%.

Here the barb is without throw/ranged and can focus on having more life via stronger cube bo:
https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/im0106vr


MIN STATS ON JAVS:
300+ed/30ias/ETH

MIN STATS ON DIADEM:
2barb/20fcr/visio or base ar/2 soc (I really prefer the frw though)

Well, here i made it cheaper, all same items but worse:

Fire sorc gm setup-> play with cube in inventory and put 16points into es. You get 95es and lvl 20bo this way

Here is a nice Necro.
NVA build:
https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/q001063a

Here its set up with white 3spear/3spirit:
https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/ys0106lt

Ofc one can run white Psn nova/lr/fire golem vs fb sorc as an example.
Or one can run 3spear/3spirit/revive or decreap for bm..

Hots vs fb
Raven + Stack vs cold sorc(scs, boots, coa with cold stack jools or thul)
Some lr stack is maby needed vs strong foh etc...

The nec can use coa as well. But it would need 1 -15req jool.

Yes nice as well
But sorc with low damage outputs was very easy to handle with standard chars on d2lod.
Now they are less affected by smite stun, leap, mb, wc, etc... So might be decent.
Depends on rules... I have not pvp'ed in d2r yet. Cant afford a low char even. Slowly building a tele rabies/fury wolf^^

Tldr

Stopped at Cham on a sorc

Amazons:

Tele 3 hybrid:
Here is a maxed out 3hybrid zon. With exception of jav which is far from maxed^^ Could be eth and 450 ed and so on.
Ofc i know theese perf items most likely wont ever exist.
But you see here what we aim for. Which stats that are important etc.
You can easely turn down stats and see how low u can go if u like... (dont forget resists... ive seen plenty of ama guides around with -23 resists in hell....)

The build is an extreamly effective build. However it require skills to play this right.
It has all the attacks an amazon would want, but its damage is lower.
Which means it deals "low" damage in an unexperienced hand, but has the tool's to win any setup for a skilled player.
https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/q80106fq

Osama build:
This is the tele hybrid version, aka osama build... It has more bow damage and more skills in the psn skills... But it does not have CS... Its bolt and fury dmg works good due to physical damage in javs.
It uses the same items as 3hybrid, but different charms and different skilling.

Walk hybrid:
Bow + Plague are boosted, with lvl 1 fury and bolt which works good as well.
Standard bow gear, but skilled plague. And 3 java skillers....
If plague aint allowed by ur combat rules, just skill passive skills instead, and change java sks with max/ar/life scs.
https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/6k0106ix

Hay, GM rules are a bit different.
This my Sosa few days ago, now even fatter Mana, but keep info for myself.
