Barb and smite can still beat ex sorc with 85fr np tbh

I think the biggest issue on gm dueling was the amount of cold resist that is gm with 1 Raven. A lot say different

I use no more than 400cr + Raven tbh


I got 342 cold res so far theory crafted and 2x ohm only is that gm? Might go 10% ow 30 cr belt aswell so 372 with no salv aura on.

Is it still gm if I turn on salvation and use a metal grid?

Depending on salvation skill this could be like 480 cr + 10max. This I would say is bm and lame

I always just stick to 400 total cr + 1 raven or whatever stack u want + no sorb or no + max.
I think 250 total cr + 2 ravens ok also

How did these rules apply?

From players that couldn't HANDLE THE JANDAL?

I mean, if the items exist, you use those items, if the skill table exist you use the skill table, if the runewords exist, you use them, if the cube recipe exists you use them... so who are the people that RESTRICT all of the ABOVE???

Yup... players that don't have a clue... I mean, restricting Potions... WTF, if you are in PvM there are NO RESTRICTIONS... so a wannabe PvP player wants to be superior making rules.

Guess what... all of you guys forgot about PK, after that came PPK'ers and then turn it into a contest... PK'ers joined games and killed people for Ears to show their worth, however, they joined Public games (PvM) just to kill them off and the dead would arise and try to get their gear etc and die Naked... the ears accumulated and then came about the PKK'ers that hunted down PK'ers and getting their Ear and Gold exchanges happened more offten... and now you all call it PvP. What a Joke.


Sounds like you never pvp'd

Btw merry xmas to yall :santa:

Cr rules not like fr and lr.

The above I stated is what you should do if you want to be gm otherwise just do whatever you want and be considered potentially lame

There has always been this issue around cr tbh

They already hate me, just trying to be gm.

I got two ohms in a coa and some marrow walks. I should be fine. I usually duel them with 0 res.

1.09 was a good time to PvP, however it was normally PK'ers that slowed down other players progress, got to love HC & PK'ers in those days.

Merry Xmas to you also.

10% max lr is not the same as Lo and wisp

1000 light dmg example:

10% res:
(1000 / 6) * 0,15 =25

5% res + wisp:
((1000 / 6) * 0,2) * 0,6 =20

Also iirc hotspur isn’t bm, never heard of that. And fire sorc deals more dmg than ever with obsession so I don’t see why it would be bm now

So if you don’t have charge you can use hotspurs but if you do it’s inferno and dwarf?

I’m confused sorry

I’m a smiter was gonna go pro pub and attack everyone now with a spirit shield. So what are the rules for a smiter? That’s the only one I ever heard them say no you can’t.


U can use hots. Its gm on pala

I was just going off that guide which says 2x lo are same dmg as 1x wisp according to his excel sheet.
