It's a nicely written guide as far as gear and overall explaination/layout but your dueling strategies and difficulty ratings are way off
If you were to join the world ladder or start doing private duels against better duelists, you would see that the difficultys of classes vs a v/t or t/v are a lot different than what you have listed
Barely anything you have listed even breeches 3.5 to 4.0 difficulty and some of these that are listed as 3.5 to 4.0 should be the things that are easy for this build
* BvB is listed as 4.0? You're a smiter with holy shield, how is a BvB difficult when you block 75% and he cannot block your smiting?
* ES FBer is listed as 4.5? You need to be using open wounds vs EShield, not smacking it with raw physical ~ Try keeping swordback hold shield in your stash for an easy 50% melee OW on charge or use Widowmaker for OW/GA glitch, you'll chew up ES Sorcs
* Bowazon is listed as 1.0? This leads me to believe you've never dueled Bowazons outside of pub games, no offense
ect.. ect..
I suggest dueling some of the more reputable duelists on b-net and rewriting this pvp section after you've been in a pvp environment where people really push the limits of these build archetypes
Your strategy section suggest that a v/t t/v is a dominant build when in reality it seriously struggles in world ladders/wagers/team duels
~ Not busting your balls, just being honest with critique
Appreciate the constructive criticism. BvB did you even read all of it? I said a good one will have phoenix, max DR, more damage and more life those greatly improve his viability. He hits as hard as or harder + more life and hits more often making it more difficult.
Also a lot of them are filled with nothing but ar scs. This 75% block with 20k defense is no match at all for 35k+ AR. Perhaps a little high in the difficulty but not much. And for ES sorceresses I like your idea of OW since it does pass ES. But even then you will have to hit them just as many times in succession as you would with smite, no? OW is countered by Life replenish quite substantialy and when you hit more than once it just resets the duration of the OW not add to it. ES/DR/Dmr/Life rep is rape. Again perhaps a bit overdone on the rating.
For blowazons, I have no idea how you are not be able to beat one of these easily. I've dueled many of them even in prive games (not like it matters where the person is) and with loaders. Given my strategy they are quite simple. A better one might reach up to 2/5 difficulty. Also v/t (t/v), these suck in team duels at no point and time did I say or will say that it is team dueler. In fact its stictly 1v1 or perhaps even 1v2 (given skillset).
And as for the dueling good people. You don't know who I have dueled. I've actually been in tournies before and seen the better players. Again, thanks for the reply, first decent one so far.
/e WOHOHHHH MAN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE. Deng Must be like 20 degrees up her in da norf.
