if you honestly want to calculate 9K FoH here is how you would do it...

let's say your stack is 4000000000000000000 but it reads as 75%.

the first thing you do is take the 9,000 damage then reduce it by 5/6... so the 9,000 would hurt you...

1,500

if you had 75% resist it would then be reduced down to

375....

but when your a FOH you are going to give out 205% negatice lightning resist. so in hell mode they need to make up for the...

-70% to start [anya bonus included]
get back to 75%
then stack 205% on top of that...

that comes out to 350% resist lightning. this can be done serveral ways. regardless of which way they chose to do it, they are making their gear much weaker by putting on crappy equips. that is when you go to the stash, grab your grief, coa, dungo, and up'd hoz and kill a smiter that has salvation on.

all a foh is good for is pking baal and chaos runs. and it is by far the best character at doing so.

i will make the same arguement as before in a prior post. why would someone bother making a sorc? the sorc is even more pointless. fireball and lightning are pointless. why make them? you can stack their resist to 95% and sorb them as well? why isn't a sorc worthless? i think they are more worthless then a FoH to be 100% honest.

if battle.net made dueling fair enough so any type of character could duel, like they did in classic diablo the game would be alot more balanced.

its not hard to have 50dr and stacked lite res......
u dont even need any res avra

well if you are swinging slowing, i have 50% DR, and just as much life as the smiter, AND i hit them with holy freeze before i start to duel them as they charge me with salvation on. they are not going to win. and they look like a friggin fool.

trust me they will have their salvation aura on lol

they would need some charms for resist and here is why....

kiras um 85%
lightning stack shield 205% if pally otherwise 160%
Torch 20%
Anni 20%
CoH MAYBE? 65%

10x 5% resist all 50% assuming they don't use 37x 20/5

their gear is gonna be reduce to shyt!

and you are gonna curb stomp them

massacred by bowzon using grief rage

most good smiters do use 37x205s and it`s easy to stack over 300res(because with grief and coa you won`t have -50res anymore)

well i guess your going to have a hard time beating those smiters with 300 stacked resist through charms and 5000 life. i don't know what to tell you. all i can say is, if you want to make a pure foh, you should make it like this. this is the best pure foh guide out there.

i am not saying foh is the best dueler around, cause it isn't. but if you want to make a foh you should use my guide.

This guide is pretty good at explaining a foh build. It's a players choice to build his character their own way or follow someone else's sugestion. It doesn't matter what character you make cause there's always someone out there that can beat them. I have an foh and I didn't use a guide to make mine. I made mine the way I wanted and don't care what people have to say about how good or bad it is. All that matters is whether I like playing him or not.

people are asking about this guide online so i am bumping the topic
