Honestly, most people nowadays don't hit 75 poison res.

That's not true at all
People with 5/20s all stack res and 75 poison is achieved easily due to universal +bonus to all res

Even if they do not hve 75 poison resistance, they sure can throw on gear to achieve easily enough, if not +max poison and huge bonus
Andarial's Visage is a very easily carried substitue swap

It's the one item that makes Plague Builds useless actually
If it weren't for Andy's, Plague Javelin would be in this guide as a must

It's nearly 2013. Not everyone uses 10x 20/5 inventories anymore.

And my point is that not everyone will have 75 poison resist vs bowazons.

If they've thrown on andy's to counter one 451, you've already achieved much more utility from that sc compared with one 3-20-20 (basically they gimped their entire build for nothing)

And like I said earlier (as has alex) most modern fpk duelers won't carry poison resistance gear, or even have 75 pr vs a bowzon.

W/s trapper for example won't have 75 poison res unless you itemlame (like my~) and will take tons more damage from a 451, compared with a 3/20/20.

I see what you're saying but don't forget the purpose of THIS guide
THIS guide is based on the idea that you will always be fighting opponents who have premo resistance and top notch gear

A 451 is a gamble (on what your opponent is wearing)
3max with AR and 20 life is sure fire

That's my point




Also, modern FPK duelist bitch, complain an refuse to duel Bowazons
They won't even allow them in to tvt

A lot of top-notch chars don't hit max poison res. :/ e.g. most good sins will use 10x bmanas and not hit 75 poison resist as a result.

All my statements are based on my pvp experiences with the top 5-10% of east nl.

EDIT:Dave i see you, no make fun of my~

All I know is that poison nova necromancer with lower resistance dont get very far

Actually a nova nec would wreck the vast majority of fpkers, just because of a lack of res ~~

Just look at Maka, half the reason I imagine Brad made the char is because it's super annoying to duel with ~50 poison res and no stack gear.

so is this build still pretty decent for its time? thinkin about basin my zon on it
