what item combination should I use versus different kind of characters? I got an idea but I want to hear some input

edit: why infernostride over hotspurs and is 63% fcr really needed against anything?

thanks for the help so fare


Max DR/Block%: Arreats, SS, Dungos, 2x fcr rings, Trangs

You still maintain 37 fcr with max block and 50% dr. This can be useful against Bowazons, f.e.

Max DR%/Dual wielding: CoA, Dungos, 2x fcr rings, Trangs

This is basically a standard BvC setup. Used when DR% is required, but not block. Having 2 weapons means more hit checks.

Optimal damage setup: Guillaumes, Dracs, Arach, 2x fcr rings

This is what I personally prefer against Bone Necromancers. They can be difficult to catch, but every bit of damage counts.

High damage/AR setup: Angelics, Guillaumes, Arach, Dracs (or Trangs)

This should be used against Hammerdins. You basically decide whether 25% OW is worth the loss of 20 fcr. You won't be stomping them.

VS Fire: Guillaumes or Griffs, 2x fcr rings, Arach, Dracs, Infernostrides

Pretty self-explanatory. Decent to high cast rate, alright damage and max fire resistance.

VS Cold: CoA or Arreats, 2x Ravenfrosts, Trangs gloves, Arach

Maintains 37 fcr while having GM sorb (on my realm at least) and decent stack.

VS Light: CoA or Arreats, TGods, Trangs, 2 fcr rings


There are quite a few possible setups.

because inferno is 10% gm cap, and 63 fcr i dont know when its needed, im curious too ^^


Against some Necros, Sins and Sorcs. Depends on how you personally play and how defensive they are.

4x 5/5's
5-6x 20/5's


better is 20/11's light and cold or 5/11's instead of 5@ stuff?


Both are viable.

dont get soo many 20/5. Only have a few in stash for pubs
Other then that get 20/11 vs a particular char in gm priv duels.

3/20/20sc are almost always better then gcs

I would max beserk instead of shout, unless you preparing to go
vs other barbs alot
