Duel alot but only bm duels, lol trash.

you wouldnt touch me on sorc doesnt matter how much sorb u have and ending crying like mad coz no mana and leave the game mad

Glad to be able to share as well.
Yes i do keep whistan max block setup as my default. Its pretty chaotic in pub games and alot of times walking out of town can be dangerous with chargers/ww/random GAs flying around.
I do a default setup with :
2/20circlet
2/10ammy
Magic wand 20fcr
Whistan or lidless (sur)
Fb Ormus
Magefist or frostburn (depends on shield)
Spiderbelt
2x soj
Rare boots

Personally i like ormus as well but people tend to disagree on this.
The +3fb and "+2firemastery" is nice alongside fcr and socket. If you can get max resist elsewhere, i think its ideal, if not viper would would be better.

Regarding wizspike, it lowers the overall dmg quite abit, its a much safer option with large amount of res/mana. But it does drop the overall damage significantly,especially since offhand is whistan.

Damage plays a big role when people start to put on a couple pieces of max%res or sorb gear. It tenda to be overlooked sometimes especially since fb dmg is already so high, getting an extra 200-300pvp dmg is pretty big, it scares ppl off into playing more defensive and also allows you to trade blows and come out on top.

Overall i think as long as you hit 105fcr/1.6k life/3k+ mana/max res/75%block/18k+fb you should do fine.(Es depends on how much you want/allowed to prebuff).

***above discussion is for SvA.

What the fuck is wrong with you

hey aren't you that guy that said blizzard paid you off to stop hacking their games? and that CIA approached you for a job?

you've got some serious issues lmao

😂😂😂 sound like him. Idk what this dudes problem was. Musta been drunk

Pretty curious to know if anyone has tried obsession runeword with success...im currently waiting for ladder to end to give it a go.

I doubt it would be better than %block against physical characters but the chunky +life/fire resist and potential extra +skills cant be ignored.

Nice poll! Looks like the 95% 105 fcr build is very popular.

I have a strategy question re. this build. Some assassin that I duelled, he would usually summon a shadow master which appears to be basically fire-immune and is tanking all damage from my fireballs. Any advice on this? Are they actually supposed to be fire immune, or I just need some items with -fire res.

Something like this should work:
It looks like this on standard setup:
https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/980106g3

Standard gear actually have 125fcr. So we can easely swap either belt or helm without thinking on other than the 9str helm has...
We added theese:
Dungo (a DR% add which can come handy vs barb/bow/ele druid)
Snakecord (more anti psn)
Strings (DR% and mdr which is strong on es sork)
https://d2.maxroll.gg/d2planner/1o0106ws

And we added a orb for nerds and rich guys to boost damage....

Yes shadowmaster is not restricted to 75max res so it can go over 100 and become immune.
Still a tough matchup due to venom/ow but much better than before with how fhr has changed. Its almost impossible to lock us with mindblast now, for me i try to stay offscreen if possible and try to drop a meteor on myself before i start turreting. Mana is actually a big issue for them if you keep running away, alot of them eventually run out of mana.
