why dont u use marrows ? -> lvl 33 bone prison!

otherwise u got lvl 35 .. (with summon skillers)

what else should i max if not prison ? revive up to level 44 with 44 monsters ? or stronger golems ..

Uh, you Iron Maiden a Bvc and I guarantee one worth a damn will automatically lifetap you and your army as soon as they realize you're summoning. lol

Edit: God, this is a terrible guide.

ok im triing to do this:

gear: shako 7fhr 35 fire resi, mara, beast (cta), spirit35 (lidless), enigma bp, trangs, 2*bk, arach, marrows and 9 summon skiller (2*fhr and 7*lifer)

-> this should hit BOTH bp exactly

skills:

sum: 20 mast, 20 raise, 20 mage, rest 1 but fire golem

curse: dont know .. i put 1 into amply, iron and life tap by now

pb: 1 armor, 1 teeth -> 20 bone spirit


i get the prison from boots.


resi: shield + shako : 35all + anni ~15 + torch ~17 + mara 27 + 30 anya = 124 -> missing 51 resi LOL !

should i use homu umd with 62 all resi insead ?



ty



edit: bone spirit dmg is low ass - should i put the skills different ? in revive maybe ? -> would be 44 revives

any1 ?

btw merc id use pride + gaze + (eth bramble - dont knwo it yet)

up - waiting for answers

They will have mindblast, the ones that don't are worthless pieces of shit that aren't even worth killing...



if you die in 1 charged strike, your char needs remaking



Rofl... a good bvc will use 50% DR and 7-8k life. If he knows how to Leap (well actually Leap is king on that build) you will easily get slaughtered. Iron Maiden doesn't work when he is hitting you (at least not as much as when he hits minions) and with Berserk, he is immune to Iron Maiden as it's Magic Damage. You won't win vs the good BvC's but I can immagine you trash random pubs.



The only matchup you got right was light sorc and maybe orb. Good luck catching a 105 or even 200 fcr sorc with your 75... you just can't duel sorcs without 125 fcr, period. They can just stay out of your screen or get on it for half a sec to drop a blizz and they're away. 180 secs and your revies are all dead...



Hurricane > Summons. Period. They don't even need that tornadoes to kill them. And while the druid can recast his summons, you can't. You just can't win any semi-decent wind druid with a pure summoner.



No physical damage druid can win. But Rabies ones can as you get infected from your minions, and as they run fast you might have trouble teleporting on them with 75%fcr.



As in every section you say that BM aka moding chars will kill you and the rest won't. Well you aren't a GM char and FoH, smite can Namelock you through your summons.

Then you say it's for pubs (since you use merc..., and summoners aren't wellcome in most leagues) and most of your matchups rely on revives. Revives only last 180 secs - so then you go get new ones or?

And believe me, I've used summoners alot - my poison/summoner hybrid is stickied for a long time, although the guide might need some refreshing.

up

in which duel are u using which curse ? i dont get a few skill points uve chosen:


Fire Golem: 1

Bone Spirit: 1

and ur always talking about amply + maiden. when do u need others ?


any1 ?

Sorry if I haven't responded in a while, I've been off of D2. I hear that they are finally resetting the ladder
When I have some time, I am going to update this guide, a few of the
dueling are a little skewed (I don't own people as hard as I use to).

Here's some answers:




could, but its not really worth the points, and ya the marrowalk trick doesnt work anymore.



lifetap on a bvc? dracs kinda suck on a bvc ....you wont hit fcr breakpoint w/o fcr rings.

and thx but nothx on the advice



you need to hit the fcr breakpoint so no,

get some res/life scs



you will need more resist on your merc, and COA > Gaze

sadly , bramble doesnt do much, but Pride does add a lot of needed damage
