Switching between cta and a titans or lacerator while out in the blood more and in them middle action packed duel is a great way to drop a valuable item or to get killed while switching items. But be my guest and try it, just dont come crying to me when you drop your 6/6/4 eth crystal sword cta or eth lacerator and your dueling buddy/hostiled enemy snags it. If you are concerned about blocking just use a storm shield and cta all the time and you can block just fine, no need to switch out the cta. Not to mention this would result in around 120+ life and 120+ max dmg lost.


Well yes, you could lose them in theory, but just watch out a bit and youll be fine. And well, if you do get killed while you are switching items, the item will be in your cursor. So its not that easy to lose it. And well, you are not really gonna do it in fast-paced duel, youll do it when you get your corpse. If it runs out in the middle of a duel, you can just ask the guy you are dueling to let you bo.

And I wasnt talking about blocking anyways, how does swapping cta for titans or something else help your blocking? ^^
My problem with cta+ss is that yes, you can block them, but you cant attack back with that switch.
Javs are really nice secondary attack, and you get to keep your bo too this way.

I have built vita & glass - its all down to individual preferences & styles.

Personally I prefer the glass/ss/titans that has 75/80/75/35 resists on bow (without storm tracks) 160>190frw 1k life 6.8k physical dmge + 350 psn.
But she does use the bug belt as euscnl.

One thing you really lack with vita build is the massive Ar with multi & strafe - 25k ar multi/stafe is a devastating option that glass builds use a lot with max ias.

There are only 3 barbs on east that have beat me ft5 more than 1 fluke time. Stone, Punch, Whirl. None of u that posted here are these barbs, so i know for a fact none of u can beat me barb vs zon.

let me guess, rest barbs on east d2pk/bnet/whereever u play don't use shield vs ur zon ? smile.gif))))
any barb with shield will 5-0 zon without titans lol

All builds would be easier with a bugged belt tongue.gif

Multi is used vs druids summons, sorc, zon etc…they have no defense so 25k ar is unnecessary and overkill, half that would be more than sufficient.

only thing gaze gives you is 5% more dr and you give up way to much to get it. Only 1 soc, no fhr, no skill, no res on a gaze plus the leech is useless. Its no longer 1.09, times have changed. Its ok to change up what gear we use on our zons too, don't be scarred.

The coa has 2x 40/15 in it, that means 1 less 40/15 than a 120/45 helm...one jewel wont make a huge difference in dmg. And this build uses fort armor too…whats your point? Not sure why you even mentioned it if they both use it.

I can take multiple ww against a barb with a shield. Just follow the strategy I layed out in this guide and no barb will give you issues.

you do such poor comparisons people don't take you seriously. you just said the only benefit of using vamp over a 174 strength helm is 5%DR(half of what it actually gives).
