I'm aware of this.

Keep in mind I'm not just a summonmancer, I'm a poison nova/summon hybrid.

The Lower Res is for Nova, and Cyclone Armor only blocks elemental damage

ah k
was just making sure

Doom Z is BM, not "almost BM." Actually, this whole char is bad-mannered. Just thought I'd point that out since nobody else has yet. It uses very cheap tactics such as using elemental immune revives. And that's not to mention the fact that a such a huge summon stack is damn hard to deal with whether it's immune to you or not and will shield you from most attacks as long as you tele to keep your summons on you.\

Basically if you ever lose a duel on this character you're pretty terrible and should consider quitting D2.

For 99% of the duels I've been in, I didn't use Revives.

If someone thinks it's bm, they can crai. This character's main advantage
with summons comes from the fact that it IS a SUMMONER. In other words,
over 60 skill points were used to summon minions.

I could say that one point in charge is bm too, since a desyncher uses Battle.net's
lack of server quality to deceive another player into getting hit
multiple times. In my opinion, this is even worse than having multiple summons that prevent a namelock, since my build isn't deceiving the other player, merely intimidating them.

And as for doom being bm? Sure, it's bm on a barb, but I sacrifice fcr to
use it, so I get slowed in the same sense. Since I require fcr to duel
well, I consider it a hinderance to lose all the fcr, but I guess it's
based on opinion, eh?

Jano Loves to love me baby

I didn't add merc in as I never used one pvp, UNLESS I needed coins and used gmerc n.n

Too bad it got patched T.T

However, if you do use a merc, I suppose I would suggest:

40/15'd Eth 20 dr Vgaze
3k+ def Eth Cubed Fort
20 Conc Pride Eth Cryptic Axe

As for type of merc, this is up to you

Thorns would be nifty, since it returns phys damage and maybe amp would
increase this? That'd fuck them over for melee-ing your skeles.

Might would give more raw phys damage from melee skeles.

Prayer would help heal everyone fast.

Holy Freeze, I wouldn't suggest, due to corpse shattering.

Blessed Aim would be interesting too.


And as for fhr, if you get hit often, you'll probably lose, the summons protect you, I don't see a need to have fhr.

coming from he who has never played with one

a summoner has weaknesses, and it isn't immortal. TRY making a summoner and beating a blizzer or fb sorc and THEN tell me that cute little comment.

and to point out, I know your main character is a hammerdin, probably THE most cookie-cutter build on diablo 2

I made this to show builds like that how fun an atypical character can be, and to show pvp that diversity is indeed possible in this repetitive game

what about strategy vs. plague zons? im making one on my new accnt named WsN-Cancer
anyways, it is a good guide!

oh god, I did forget about that.

I didn't ever duel one with my summoner, lemme know if you wanna duel sometime.
