What is a PvP Petrifyer?
Petrifyer is a name i have appointed to the Charge/Smiter Hybrid (Hybrid Like T/V, one being stronger than the other)
Your main move is charge, but as we all know, a character with just 1 move will have more weaknesses than a hybrid
with 2 or more. You use charge as your main attack, but if you get into a tight position, you can smite your way to victory!

3.
Why Should I use your crappy hotkeys!?!?!?
Well, my *crappy* hotkeys make you duel fast, responsive, and effectivly. The Petrifyer needs to switch
skills a lot, and in order to be effective you need to have fast fingers, where the keys are close together.
If these seem wierd, practice PvM for 10 minuets and you'll be pro like me!

HotKeys:
-----------------

W = Smite
E = Fanaticism
S = Charge
D = Vigor
R = Holy Freeze
F = Salvation
Z = Mediation

CTA Hotkeys = Anything You Want. I use X + C
F4 = Holy Shield

4.
How To Desynch
---------------------

WHAT IS PvP DESYNCH AND HOW DO I DO IT!?
Desynch is when you are in a place that you can see your enemy, but they can't see you.

Video For Showing the victims point of view: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Ptq3xvKhCvE

Desynch is VERY deadly, and is a great weapon for a Petrifyer. In order to desynch,
you must put on vigor and hold the charge hotkey and start blazing away from your
enemy, until they are not on your map. You make a sharpish circle and charge back towards
your enemy. Most of the time, you will see them, but not only can your enemy not see you,
you won't even be on their map! Infact if they see you, it'll be a wrong copy of your body!
It negates once you hit your enemy. Desynch = Your Weapon.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

5.
Gear:

Weapon: Grief BERSERKER AXE (Not War Pike....Not Archon Staff [Though Great Too])
Why
Grief? Well with GRIEF-Z, you have great damage (ITS GRIEF), you can
smite well too, 3-Range, 20% DS, (IGNORE DEFENSE AND NEG Defense.)

Shield:Phoenix Sacred Targe
ZOMFG
NOOB WHY USE PHOENIX!?!? Phoenix is overrated yes, but for a charger
it's INSANE. 400% + Damage (Depending on shield stats)
If you can get this into a 4os 40+ resistance Sacred Targe, Your Set!
Shield Choice 2:Zaka (Harald of Zakarum) UP Ber'd (Or Jah for more HP)
This is also a VERY great shield. Great constant smite damage, skills, block, resistance...GOD. I prefer Phoenix.
Shield Choice 3:Spirit Sacred Targe
Skills,
Mana, VIT, Resistance (If you put in 40+ Res shield then your good) and
good smite damage. This is also great. Again Pheonix

Armor: Fortitude Archon Plate
Damge, Life, Resistance....You want to FAST PK your enemies, not hit them multiple times and die.

Gloves:WizardSpike Light Guantlets
Resistance and Mana is your friend. This glove rocks Asia's,East's, and Europes Socks...
Gloves Choice 2:Bloodfists
FHR, IAS, Life...If you like them, wear it -.-
Gloves Choice 3:Dracul's
Strength, LifeTap (Very Rare and BM), and Open Wounds which doesn't matter because you 1 hit pk a lot

Boots:Wraith Brand Light Plated Boots
Strength, FHR, FRW, Tri-Res reaching almost 50!
Boots Choice 2:Gore Riders
These are OK, suitable for charger but I wouldn't recommend it
Boots Choice 3:Any STR / Dex / Res / FHR Boots

Rings:20 Dexterity As High AR As Possible Ravens / 20 Dexterity As High AR As Possible Ravens
No other options!

Amulet:HighLords Amulet!
+1 Skills, DS is important, Light Res is great too!

Helmet:CoA Ber/Ber
Damage Reduce (GODLY), Resistance (GODLY), FHR (GODLY), +1 Skills Too!!!
Helmet Choice 2:Ber'd Shako
GODLY Mana, GODLY Str, 18 DR With Ber, 2 Skills, 2 all stats! GODLY, But lacks more DR and Res :\

Belt:40 VIT 15% DR Dungos
GOD Damage Reduce Making it 46% DR with CoA, 40 VIT = 120 Extra HP. THIS IS GOD.


_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

6.
Inventory Items
--------------------
5x Lifer Pcombs.
Why 5x Lifer Pcombs? Well, this gives you charge damage, holy shield defense, and of course smite
The Rest 3/20/20s. This gives you 3 max Damage, 20 Attack Rating, and 20 Life. This is VERY
good, and useful for a charger. If you cannot afford these, get the next best thing.


_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_

Dueling Strategy

WW Barbarian:
-----------------
If
you were a pure charger, you would have to save + exit immediatly, but
thanks to the added smite + grief, you can stand a chance!
What you
want to do is charge the barb right when is WW is about to end, and
right when you charge and hit him, if you do, keep charging. If you
charge and stop in his face, switch to your smite and smite him. If he
keeps getting KB, Charge him instead of running up to him and smite, if
he WWs away, Switch To Vigor / Charge, Run away from him until he is
out of your map, and run back towards him and charge him. This is
desynch, and desynch = GOD. Repeat. You have to understand this is a
hard battle for you, the barbarian having an advantage, but with smite
you have a good chance.

Hammerdin:
-----------------
This
should be easy if you know what you are doing. If they are the type
that runs aruond like a pansy around the map spamming hammers, you
could do the same. Put on mediation and run the opposite direction, now
it will be a battle of who has more patience. If he gets mad and starts
crying about you running, you know what to say. He most likely will
start playing offensive trying to tele on you and such, but what you
must do is always stay south of him. If they tele on you, smite them
and it will either knock them back or hurt them and they will keep
their position. If they get knocked back, charge down south, and once
they come towards you, in an area with no hammers, it's your time to
charge. Repeat the strategy with barb in here, and some of the strategy
with Hammerdins like I Said.

Smiter:
---------------
This
is VERY easy. Let them approach you, shift charge these figgits. Charge
away half a screen, then charge back. Keep doing it till they die. They
need to get into your face to hurt you, and it will be very hard with
your charging around! You could also smite these guys to death. Desynch
and smite, thats EZ.


Pure FOH
---------------
Can
you say Easy? Strap on Kira, 2 Wisp, and TGODS. Put on Salvation and
Laugh. If you want to GM duel, then put on 1 allowed sorb gear, and
turn on Salvation. Charge them to death. Desynch works well here, as
well as everywhere else.


Auradin
---------------
Sorb
them because they piss you off. Since their motive of dueling is to
charge around the map doing nothing, you could sit in the middle of the
field and let their aura heal you. If they deside to charge you, the
smite to death. Simple as that. Auradin is BM character, if they cry,
redicule them on how bad their character is how that they are your dog.
Telling them to sit will enrage them, and will make them play faster
and become angry. Once you kill them, they will become so angry that
they will Save + Exit, even with unperm gear. Then you laugh.


Bone Necro:
---------------

Your
hardest duel. These guys are overall a very good character. Don't even
bother with FORT, put on Enigma becuase they will 95% Bone Prison You.
If they charge Bone Spirit, Charge away....Far away, desynch them, and
once you go by them and they are not spamming it anymore, charge and
PK. These guys should die in 1 hit.


Wind Druid:
---------------

Semi
Tough. These guys have 5 wolves and an oak that they hide
under...LITERALLY. If you have GMOD then life is easy, if not, try to
namelock charge. Don't run into their tornados or your dead meat. If
they are a pro, then this is definatly a very hard duel. Try to kill
oak to make life easier.


Poison Necro:
---------------
Wear your death gloves. Put on Salvation and charge away. Easy Duel.


ALL Sorceress:
---------------
This
is VERY easy. A lot of these guys think they're hot shit. Stack the
resistance and they are finished. 90% of them don't have max block, and
95% of them die in 1 hit. If they are ES, then maybe you need 2-3, but
these are possibly the funnest / easiest to duel.


Any WW Sin:
---------------
These
guys can be pretty hard. They have claw block which blocks a lot of
times, and they have strong / fast Open Wounds. Just try to land a
lucky hit and they will die most of the time.


Trap Sin:
---------------
These
guys are lame. Strap on sorb just because they have something else do
their job. If they cry then squelch them. No point in dueling these
Pisseys becuase they cast traps and run around like a pansy. If they
are Hybrd then even worse. Have fun.


Legit Javazon:
---------------
This
can be pretty irratating because they dodge a lot of your hits and 1 of
their hits can almost kill you. Sorb is your friend, use it. Also you
can desynch. Try to smite if you can, smite is pretty helpful.


Farcast Javazon:
---------------
These
guys need to download mods to help them play. you can *Legitamently*
strap on 2 wisps, Tgods, Kiras, and turn on Salvation so they can heal
you. If you die to these guys (knowing they are FC when you have gear)
you should just stop playing.


Bowzon:
---------------
If
they use slow + knockback this can be a hard duel. Turn on holy freeze
and charge them. If they spam arrows at you, charge away from them and
desynch. if they are still doing it, make a large circle around them
and charge in for home. If they dodge it, switch to smite + fanaticism
with my great hotkeys and take the win.

(I will be adding more to t
his guide from what you guys say. I hope you enjoy this guide.)

nice guide
opposed to blitzkriegs i like ur gear selection alot better.

Thanks a lot, yes this guide is more flexible

templar

lol ?, not a smiter so sorry. ur char is a charger.

you haven't smite dmg with ur build.. so 9* pc comb and 10 32020

Smite
is still good even with no pcombs, and you have fanat to pump your
smite, and even naked with grief and shield smtie is good. Yes...Yes 1
point smite. Smite is there to help you out, and if you don't want it
you don't have to use it.

On the top of the guide i wrote this is more of a charger. And no, 4-5 Pcombs and rest 3/20/20
Thanks for pointing that out

This post was edited by Joob on Jan 16 2007 10:26am

but you have low smite dmg with st and 1 hs 1 smite. maybe move ur phoenix for a zaka ? you lose some charge dmg, but amazing smite
@ ur edit : ok np, but still low smite damage

This post was edited by Koren on Jan 16 2007 10:27am

Zaka is there as a shield alternate ^.^

Oh I couldn't edit my topic any more so I'm just ganna post this

Instead of putting rest of points into Blessed aim, depending on how much you use smite, you can dump points into smite.
Just saying it if anybody was thinking about it

whats maxed might for?

It's synergy of charge
