Looking for a convenient as possible way to kill off bm chars who disrupt stuff in pubs. I already have a hdin, so I can dispose of anything I want to dispose of in pubs, except for bm hdins which ends up being only a contest of patience/free time. Am now theorycrafting a simple counter, ideally a char that is good for other purposes also. I'm thinking:

wind druid, cube bo cta, +how helm, spirit/branch main hand, gavel on switch to amp bmer
might mercenary rare wp or e doom ca, 2os ds armet visio fhr ed/ias/cham or 2x ed/ias (lazy to check breakpoints, may be making a glaring error idk), fort or 160/60, hustle+demonlimb prebuff

just amp/stomp w/ minion stack then spam nado. Should be 6k+ easy

if bmer is barb just get stormshield + other mb gear, put bramble + e doom ca on mercenary. If sorc ench just use vex helm/hp on mercenary otherwise the FD will cancel out the thorns damage. Use oak and make sure bm is amped. If it tries to ww, thorns will kill it, and if it tries to use zerk, mercenary+nados will kill it. Hdin is effective in killing barbs also but you need something that can kill it without it rejuving between attacks

all theoretical at this point, ofc :) From what I've seen those are the 2 gayest and most dedicated bmers. The ghey bm chars hide behind the gheyest, most hardworking bm chars, so you just need to kill these 2 basically, then the other gheys will have nothing to hide behind no more. ISO some feedback plz xD

Best bm character is daydreamer (light+fire tesladin) with option to switch to grief/ smite via swap of just 1single gear piece.
Annoying as hell to deal with without fully switching out ur charms and putting on max res/absorb gear.
They dont need to stomp or commit, just run/charge around pulse+foh and people die.

But if you do that, you willend up becoming that which you wanted to get rid of.

It's actually a known strat to use bm summons on nec+mercenary, amp and let mercenary 1shot the bm hdins

I just adapted it for other classes that's all

You only need to use those sorts of strats against full-time bm chars, such as hdins or chars that use multiple buff chars

Full-time bmers are the no-lifers who spend hours spamming the moor and playing defensive whether they are actually killing anything or not, and they buy unlimited igg and rejuvs for it. A aura + foh char would get absorbed immediately upon joining the game

The point is to find a low-effort way of disposing of those without having to play the same game as them. Even if I must be killers like them, I still don't want to be gay like them :rofl:

Just duel everyone else normally and if the bm hdin interferes just kill or town then. They’re always shit at the game. A regular wind Druid should never get hit by them even if dueling someone else tbh

If you’re looking for a low effort way to pk them you’ll spend all your time doing that and eventually become as bad as them as a result of not practicing

If you are looking to just target bm hdin then windy druid with full zoo is the best.

You can theoretically use a summon nec with gg merc.
If the bm hdin isn't using holyfreeze or doom, it can be a good choice.
Tbh windy& pnb are naturally strong against hdin so you dont really have to go out of the way against them.
