wow you are bashing my guide on the count of a kick vs barb video that does not live up to your standards of how a barb should duel? gtfo.
How nice of you to be so courteous of my criticism.

Youre as quick to defend barbs as ulitma is quick to defend smiters.
That's because there're way too many pubbers who think BvCs suck. And this is because most people who make BvCs fail playing them. Fail horribly, that is.
And in general, majority of people who play barbs are crap. There're only a few selected good ones. Unlike with pretty much all other characters, there's usually only about 3-5 BvCs per realm that are known on an inter-realm basis.

Pretty much all barbs barbs Ive met have told me they never lost to a kicksin before me
That's because there are barely any. Honestly, I've only ever met about three.

Sure playing defensive and picking away with widow takes a while and is somewhat cheap, but oh well such is the class matchup, kicksins really excel at chasing casters and stunning, not at tanking barbs yet players insisted on bringing their barbs to duel me all the time.
You know what? The only more pathetic match-up that I've ever dueled in personally is BvC v BvB. The only thing I could do was teleport away and spam guided arrows. Took quite a while to win.

Every kicksin that has tried to build a melee style build fails vs properly played barbs.
Then why do you insist on beating them? It's not like BvCs don't say "no" if a BvB asks for a duel.

When I posted this video I wasnt showing off how I can l8z vs the best barb I could find, I was showing gameplay players can expect on bnet and quite honestly in my experience on east nl the vast majority of barbs are easier than whats shown in the video, I messed up several times in the video, backed off and finished the duel with widowmaker. Yes there are really fast namelock barbs, no I do not win every one of my duels, win some lose some, I never make it an easy duel for the barb however.
Of course, the purpose of videos is to show how to do it. This much is common sense, since it's always easier to get it once you see it yourself.
However, you should also show videos of how you play against some top-notch barbs. After all, it would make a good comparison, don't you think?

If you are so offended by this inadequate kick vs barb gameplay I posted, sorry I didnt have many other kvb duels recorded, if you want, go download d2pk make a barb and I'll be happy to create a new video for you.
Sad as it is (as if), I don't play D2 that much anymore. And I haven't played actively since '06 May. And even before that, I had a 13 month break from D2 due to PC issues. However yes, I'm still confident that I could duel better than the guy in this video. Too bad I just don't have the interest in D2pk. Maybe someday I'll try it out.
