whats current rules for res stack/sorb zons can have vs sorc?

i was dueling a zon who had spurs + nokozan vs my fb sorc and i did the math
it would take 27 confirmed hits (accounting for dodge) from 20k dmg fireball to kill his 2000 hp amazon with 56% dodge if he uses spurs+noko and has res charms

landing 27 fbs seems fucking insane if thats actually gm

obviously 95% max res is bm yes

how much +maxres can zons have

Same as everyone else

if sorb exists expect all players to use it. you cannot expect players to follow made up "rules" for dueling. i never follow them and i have full countermeasures for light fire cold poison physical and projectile (arrows bone spears) in stash.

if i find a bowzon ill flash her with holy freeze when ever shes on screen, ill make sure my clay golem hits her, ill cast slow missiles, ill check if she has enigma or fort, if fort ill trap her with bone prison, if i want to be really aggressive ill cast decrpt on top of that.

get on a bone nec or ww barb or windy and go smash them and there countermeasures vs your build will be limited at best. if you pk limit yourself to magic and physical builds you will smash them, remember elemental builds are pvm. if i had been in that duel i would have stacked/sorbed just to show that elemental builds are non effective in pk and should go do chaos runs instead.

Your one of those guys who would Never ever win a gm duel ;(

This were the rules back then, no clue if the Community of d2r changed some of them

If you were in a pub game then there is no such thing as gm and you shouldn't expect anyone to follow an arbitrary set of rules (or pub with a fb sorc).
