Hi Sound. Big fan. DFC LLD Champ here.

lmfao

that was me on d2ga sometimes L

Few comments about nec Asian setup or in general Asian DVN as someone in Asia realm. If the Asian setup looks weird somehow, please keep in mind that the entire rule set for DVN is slightly different from standard EU and NA rule:

- nec is allowed 20 BS: this bring the spear dmg of Asia setup to 6245.
- nec is allowed more than 1 pt in BA: and Korea TPK does not allowed AMP, so all the rest skill points go into BA.
- nec is not allowed to ibs train: 90% of serious DVN dueler in Asia use spear only.

I feel in general Asian rule and setup encourage nec to play close range combat - more BA, more DR, more dmg, limit ibs.

And yeah Asian put really less value in FHR. There's even Druid setup of magic pelt 2Dru/3nado/60 life/2s to boost the life of Druid to maximum 9K in sacrifice of 55FHR...

GG effort for Sound to post the different sets. It's good to see this discussion between realm.

DuDu > Necry

Like a coockie

uOk ? cRy ?

Someone who travels often between the continents needs to confirm this, but this has to be a ping issue right. Korean ping be like never above 46 in d2r (irl is like ~15)

If i get fhr'd, recover and tp away before the third hit nn fhr.

Meanwhile in na there have been at least two instances i have smited people while they are not on my screen somehow, usa isnt first world country for shit.

sick writeup, sound!!

question, have you thought about considering replenish life for nvd? i think it's nice when you fall < 100 life in nvd, you can tele around for 5 seconds to get your life back up to still fight and not get hurricane-pk'd. live to fight a another day typa mentality

one example is using blood boots instead of aldurs? e.g. 30frw, 10fhr, 20life, 15rep, 40cr

what you gain:
- extra 40 life (2x 20life scs) from being able to drop the 2x 5fhr scs
- i'm aware you'll lose 50 life from aldurs boots but you net +10 life still between the life on boots and these charms
- extra cold res which allow you you to use magefist for better mana regen instead
- you lose a little frw but you can probably play with different ways to make that up elsewhere
- might be able to get replenish life in ring/amulet/helm too

Dungos + ring is the main way to get life rep. Its possicle to get on amulet as well which is what I use although some people will prefer str+ life on amulet.

Also on the Asia setup you can get life rep on jewel in boneshade. From those sources you can get to or very close to the GM limit of 33 rep without having to give up boots. You lose too much life giving up aldurs (10frw equates to 60 life + base 50 life on them)

In this situation I recomend getting a good amount of life rep even at the expense of losing a bit of life since nvd can tend to last around 2 mins which if you have 33 rep equates to 386 extra life over the duration of that fight

yeah i know everything is based on what items you have but i definitely prefer having 33 replife in nvd. helpful breakdown of time vs rep'd life! ty
