Just seeing this guide now, haven't visited SnG in a long time lol miss you guys :bouncy:
I have to say, very nice writeup on the mechanics.
Im impressed.
I should at some point do a cleaner rewrite of a 2021 version of my kicksin, as I did recently just come back to East nl after a 10 year break.
some notes:
I still swear by Um'd Fleshripper for the majority of my duels.
and on c/c I'm using fury/chaos with +3ls/+3mb on both
Dweb is not as strong as it was 15 years ago when players did not have resist options, but will still destroy players that skimp. I rarely use it nowadays tho.
I think it's foolish for a pvp kicksin to not have wizardspike as an option in the stash, its only for a handful of matchups however.
Dancers still best pvp boots imho.
My view on this is that although damage numbers look good on paper, the reality of pvp is players will move out of the way, block hits, get knocked back and then walk out, so you will not see every hit landing as though it's a melee duel and both players are holding left mouse on one another.
So I try to optimize for a gameplay style where I can get in and out and cause damage without committing to melee.
that being said, I don't disagree with your choices, there are many variations of each pvp assassin type
and I'd like to see your sin in action.
as recommended by others, try OBS, it's free and allows both streaming and local recording with no restrictions on what you can do with it. much better quality recordings.
Thanks for your reply
I saw your sin on youtube on dfc (diablo fighting championship) and you almost won vs that vt which won the campionship once or twice, GG
I have always liked your widow setup/tactic combination of switchbugging arrow dmg with dw um or fleshripper
a smarth effective build
I do however see much difference between eunl and east.
On east they use 1 breakpoint less on nearly every char
Smiters seems to use 48fcr break on east, meanwhile on eu all serious ones use 85fcr/86fhr.
Hammers and smiters relay way more on charge/desync and grief on hammers with cube bo and such, meanwhile on eu both smiters and hammers on top level use 95% tele style.
Tvt barbs often use the 63fcr break on eu, and 37on on east, even though more and more go back to 40fcr due to recent server changes which makes 63 laggy, some go the other route and pick 86 (hidden fcr frame"sorta") to avoid the lags.
I also see very little oak usage on east.
There might be reasons, like ping and such and even older rule sets which makes it so, however those current dfc rules are very simular to eu rules, with exception of sorc.
On eu sorc are allowed to precast 95% es, but if es soso ur not allowed to use oak, and u can max use 5max res as "absorb", meanwhile sorb items are banned for es sorc, with the exception of nightwing and probarly the cold belt.
Anyway, east seems to value stats/abs/etc over fcr breaks on chars like assa/pala/barb, i have even seen necs who goes 75fcr eq just to have max block, and druid going 99fcr block setups.
However you should set a limit on plr..
Saw A soso rocking:
Death gloves
Sands
Snake cord
2/20/2x str/8x mana/20@/75plr ammu vs a nec.
So not even does that pnb nec with lvl 1 psn nova/lr or from white deal like 12hp of dmg each nova. Sorc also has 4,xk mana and oak
A full novamancer would maby kill 200-400 life of that soso with nova, and about the same for a rabi druid or plague/bow zon ^^
