ppl say ur not a troll but i refuse to believe

He isn't, he's just really really really redneck/nbred/stupid/retarded

okay im gonna steal those quotes you got in sig

I'm on *Goomshill2 during the next reset (sold off *goomshill 2 seasons ago)

I assume *clan-iraq is clan_iraq, if I had to guess.

that scared to come to non-ladder??Plus you can duel Mewi all you want,but she is ez even with her buffs of chant and barb bo

I'm on non-ladder when ladder ends.

Here is why:

* Charged Strike is not reliable
It's easily sorbed and stacked against in pubs
It's too hard to stomp and hit with while playing GM against casters who actually know what they are doing (Amazons have terrible FCR Frames)

* Plague Javelin is not reliable
Certain characters you'll never hit with Plague Javelin for starters, this is more a defensive skill used to ward off melee and aggressive stompers
It's easily stacked against with - poison timer reduction items and I quote this statement from my own guide:
Poison Damage SCs are weak damage per second
37x 451 Poison SCs is 17,414 poison damage over 12 seconds but after modifers it is much much lower.
First of all, subtract 75% poison resistance. This results in 4,354 poison damage over 12 seconds.
Now apply the PvP damage modifier which reduces all attacks 17% of their original damage. This results in 741 damage over 12 seconds,
Which is really only 62 extra damage per second. This isn't even considering someone wearing poison length reduction.
Upon this, you're sacrificing any and all + resistance, + run and + life off SCs to achieve this small amount of extra poison damage.
(Trust me when I say it isn't worth it, get yourself 3/xx/runs and 3/xx/20 lifers. You'll thank yourself in the end)
The same mechanics apply to Plague Javelin and all other types of poison damage
Plague Javelin will work once and once only per opponent in any serious PvP environment. The next time you duel them in a rematch, I guarantee they'll have stashed gear to deal with high poison damage
And using this gear to deal with poison damage is by all rights (considered GM) in East Ruling

* Teleport on an Amazon is not reliable
Amazons require 152% FCR to achieve a terrible and slow 11 frame teleportation speed. Litterally, every other character in the game can teleport (faster) than your amazon
This means, that any aggressive chain-locking stomping caster, or even BvC for that matter, will be able to easily catch your ass and kill you. This isn't an opinion, this is a fact
Upon this observation, trying to juggle enough FCR with other gear to still somehow achieve desirable IAS fpa/DR/ED%/Run on an Amazon, is silly and impractical and it doesn't work at all

When it comes to Diablo 2 and High Tier PvP, here are choices for how to damage your opponent:

* Physical
* Bone
* Wind
* Blessed Hammer
* Open Wounds

These damage types are reliable and always hurt
Anything else, just doesn't cut it in the end

Then please explain to me how Assassins completely dominate gm dueling regularly.

Are you fucking stupid?
Notice how all of this is physical damage and open wounds


Mindblast = physical damage
Shadow Master = physical damage, also helps cast mind blasts
WW = physical damage upon open wounds and a bit of secondary poison off of venom

Trapping wouldn't be effective at all withought the above 3 aspects



Thank you for helping further the evidence of my statement

Hm, I think you know you're caught because you said, "here are the only ways to successfully damage your opponent," and didn't mention traps. You didn't mention anything about support. I doubt Blizzard just released a patch that made MB a 2 shot kill.
