eh.

75 ds?

~35% from highlords & ~61% from critical strike -> ~75% combined deadly strike

i think that the 20% is a little low although i havent done the math.
assuming you put more into crit strike, you do not need silly highlords and can use 2 java/20 ias/kb gloves and a 2 zon 20 fcr ammy. this would give kb in all setups +1 zon skills +2 java skills + adds.. dex, life but give 1 less bo (if you even bo..), -trangs.

and this allows more guided and more survivability.

highlords is used mainly to hit the ias breakpoint- using kb gloves you are just trading 25% poison damage for knockback which you can do whether you're CS or not- the DS on highlords barely makes a difference.
the difference between 1 point critical strike and 20 points critical strike in terms of overall DS with highlords on is 75% vs 83%, or about +5% overall damage on average.
meanwhile just slapping 20 points into guided arrow would have a much, much higher effect (from say 500-2000 bow damage to 550-2350 bow damage, or +16%)


the math just doesn't work out in favor of it. Lose 25% of your poison damage to gain 16% garrow damage, when most duels you're just picking people off at 1 hp? :S Ok so its less drastic with +skills counted than 25%, but the bit rate changes much less than overall damage on plague
yeah, tgods is a bitch, and shuts off charged strike but not lightning fury- but I'd rather have a skill I can use in 3-4/10 duels in priv and 8/10 in public that could seal my victory, than a +20% overall guided arrow damage

imagine for example, that a BvC somehow had a choice between berserk, and +25% all resists. Now that not true, as both skills take only 1 point. But imagine if it didn't work that way
Would it be better to take berserk, which is useless in many many duels, or to get a little bit of extra resistances?


CS isn't the best skill and its the first thing I'd cut in favor of better options, but there really aren't any better options. And it gives a serious advantage in many duels that could otherwise be losses- Zon vs Zon, for example, or ES sorcs.

lolololol
i forgot all you duel is shitty ladder pubs

as opposed to what, shitty nl eurofegs who wear gillhelms?

you're replying to an eastie :/

any ideas where I could make up a little more fire resist on a standard setup?
I don't like the thought of having to trade off maybe 1-2 scs for pure fire ones- thats 10% all resists for 22% fire

but as is, its only got about 10% stacked resists in fire or w/e. And I've got some very decent rares (35% fire on boots, 25% on ring).
with 15% jewel, 22% um, 50% scs, 40% torch/anni, 60% rares, that still only comes out to 12% stacked resists. Just a handful of facets means sorcs can easily rip through me without using swap gear
when I run into some sorta jeweled up sorc, its gg 2 hits death
