chaos/uber/pvp tele bow zon,4 min's bottom to top of chaos 8 palyer game with no help.

dont ask me for my build because i will not tell anyone.

then why post? this is a section for helping the diablo community not to come and say u got something
ur not willing to share please gtfo.

this, i agree...

Hey, a few questions:
1/ Doesn't the A2 Merc get effected by iron maiden? He would be dead after a few seconds
2/ Wouldn't the fire storm of the torch slow the kill speed?
3/ How much resis does this build get good resis? Well, fire and maybe poison resis would be kind of the only resis needed, but how does this build reach them?
4/ How much life would you get without putting any points in Vita?

Anyway, thanks for this guide, 8/10 because of layout and missing some stuff like alternative equip/explanations etc.

/edit
I don't agree with Papa Smurf, since you can't always relie on a Paladin in your party, so a faith would be more flexible imo. Even though I'm skeptical about the A2 Merc too
Anyway, I guess there are LOTS of different setups that'll work well, so there is no need to critizise your guide that way

I think u needs to add about how much.

Life
Mana
Dmg
Res
Dr
Fhr
etc... That he'll have when done.

And maybe what bps he'll hit.

Bump

Any ideas how much life/resis this ama would get? And wouldn't the torch's firestorm slow the killspeed down?

Thanks for answers >_<

????

resis = nn oyu kill off screen

torch firestorm does nto slow down because onlike phoenixx, torch firestorm doe snot have a castdelay

thanks

Ok, i'm almost finished with her and it's neither bad nor good.
I can easily clear the whole cs without loosing much life (3% life leech does an extremely good job) and mana (4% on the same ring, awesome).
Still, this is in 1 player games and it takes some time...
I don't have my merc yet, but i doubt that i will do much more damage with it.

The most stupid thing is dia. He kills my decoy instantly and my Valk doesn't really work as a tank. It takes about 2 minutes to kill only him, and i need to run thru the whole cs to escape his wrath
If i get caught in his red lightning, i am fucked
I am not quite sure if it's gonna be any better with my merc, but I doubt that this build can kill fast/at all in an 8 player game...

Some experience that might help:
use a dual leech ring together with raven frost.
If you run out of mana, stop multi and strafe until your mana is full again.
On the way, multi like crazy and use mana pots instead of strafing to fill it up, otherwise it takes (me) longer to get to the cs than to clear it ~~
At the beginning of cs, use strafe like insane and pick up some mana pots.
In the main part of the cs, use multi like crazy. The load of monsters there will give you enough mana back.
For the bosses: cast decoy where they will spawn and multi the hell out of your bow.
Seis is tricky, i once hit the wrong button (caps lock instead of shift) and ran right into the mobs. Instant death.

If you're fieldof sight is clear, but you're not sure what's in front of you, spawn some strafe.
If a couple of monsters comes too close to you, don't worry. With dogde/evade you can tank 3-5 hits, depending on your charm. Multi like crazy to get rid of the enemies. That will also give you some life back.
For one or two monsters, always use strafe. Kills faster than multi when you have small amounts of mobs spread thruout the area. Also requires less mana.

For dia:
No idea. Fucking difficult for me to kill.
Kills your decoy, ignores your valk, chases you. Also, your arrows don't do much damage and you can't leech on him.
If you use guided arrow, it takes a while to take him down. If you use strafe, he will get you caught in his red lightning which is instant death.

Haven't tried with the merc yet, but since i don't really kill very fast, I guess he will get killed by IM before i reach dia, so he wont helpme with him either i guess

Altogether a fun build because you don't rely on your merc, but kills too slow imo, and does too less damage.
I do 5k guided, 3.5k multi and 3.7k strafe with exactly copying this guide...

BUT i need to admit that i didn't use all my skillpoints yet (bow skills are full, passives are not spent yet), and I have only 2 skillers sp far.
I will post again when i got my whole gear (including merc) and give some more feedback
