Yo,

Im currently making and planning my first real pvp build for d2r. I tried telewolf first but quickly found that rabies nerfed to the ground. The entire function is changed.
Some of the stuff i will not be able to afford stright away, but its my plan for the long run.
The big stash and shared stash makes it fun to have a lot of swaps.
In d2lod i prefered to make 1 build to duel all, and then wine and go to stash to find my anti cold gear whenever a blizzard wanted to duel

Anyway, so this build is first of all a 63fcr BVC. I dont like to use shield anyway, but I always stat a lot extra dex for AR purposes anyway as i dont like to run to swap to angelics just because there is a pala ingame xD

So main gear i will use is bvc:
Grief ba + Beast ba
3wc 3 slot weps * 2
Enigma
Gores
Trangs
10fcr/14dex/111ar/32life/29pr/25fr ring (I like this combi as TO and HL adds LR/CR)
Wisp
Arach
2barb/20fcr/20dex/9@/59life/ChamBer (ofc a visio is better etc, but i cannot afford atm)

Inventory:
Torch
Annie
6 x 5fhr/4-5@ (ofc a single 8fhr/6max/48ar is best in slot and fits both 27 and 48fhr breakpoints)
Cube: 6bo helm, 2 sojs/bk, 3wc ammu, demon limb. (for pubs etc i will use 3bo metamorph for fixing my DR% and adding attackspeed)
Rest: 3/17+/17+ scs

I skill it like this:
20 bo, 1 bc, 1 warcry, 1 all relevant there in screaming tab.
20 wirl, 20 zerk, 1 frenzy/doublethrow etc in fighting style tab.
1 blade, 1 throw, 20 axe, 1 stamina, 1 defense, 2 speed, remaining natural res

Now for this regular bvc setup i will stash this:
Helms:
20fcr/3soc BERBERBER (anti dudu etc in combi with raven)
20fcr/3soc BERBERCHAM (DR related helm when i need wisp for oak/abs)
20fcr/3soc 40ed-15ias/2x 5/5psn facets (whaaat you say?, i will come to that)
20fcr/3soc THULTHULTHUL anti cold helm, or whatever i can find that fits my need to buff CR
Guillaume for fun

Boots:
Some kind of 30frw/3 res boots
Hots / Possible infernal stride if i need the frw

Rings:
Raven
Carrions
Nature peace
1 more raven xD
1 x 10fcr/dual leech incase i want to PVM

Belt:
I might have a TG here, but i will never use it most likely... Prefer wisp...
Dungo 15% DR

Gloves:
Dracs
Possible some 20ias/kb/adds incase i wanna throw or widow faster.

Wepons/Shields:
Stormshield 15ias/15@ for zerk/wirl breakpoint.
Eth lacerator + Eth warshrike (incase i want to restat to brawler/throwbarb for fun)
Widowmaker Shael
2 x DW, 1 with Um and 1 with 5/5 facet, Possible a 3wc/lt charges/UMUM
Possible a FleshRipper

Charms:
12 x 451 scs

Thats kinda it.

Now the regular BVC gear will be a good bvc setup.
If i use it in pub i will use 3bo metamorph helm in cube to stack 20% extra DR and stack 25EIAS vs slow etc. And if i use widow with that we are talking 9fpa bow, or 8 if i use ias/kb gloves. But most likely dracs for ow, or trangs for psn and fcr.

Now the psn and bow gear etc.
The idea here is to use the 15ias/40ed/10/-10/20fcr diadem + 2 x DW, where main hand is DW 'UM'.
Thats -115 to enemy PR and PLR, combined with 35% OW if i swap to that side prior to arrow impact. (if i use 3wc/lt/UMUM i get 60% OW and -43 enemy PR instead of -50 enemy pr, but thats a BM charget :P)
If i now put on 12 x 451 scs.
Then i will have 10 fpa widowmaker:
7k psn damage over 10,9 seconds, which most likely will be 14k poison damage over 21,8 seconds. And with -115 enemy PR.
+ around 1-2k physical damage.
+ 300 life from ow if that strikes.
And if enemy seems to put on massive psn res gear etc, i can instead of DW use Beast Ba main + Grief second for 25% OW and 25% CB upon impact and be ready for WW side.
Or i can use a Um'ed fleshripper for SLOW, -50% enemy DEF, 25% CB, 75% OW, 33% Deadly strike, and i can even combi it with Phoenix shield for 400% ED bonus to arrows. Or beast + Pheonix + Metamorph cube bo and mark of the bear, or Lacerator + Pheonix for OW + AMP and ED% bonus to arrows.
Or lac + beast.

Just funnier to deal with paladins etc this way, instead of using angelics

Sometimes i may want to use throw and secondary, to trigger amp. Or to fully respec to brawler

Build sounds fun?
Its a bvc, i just added some fun stuff

3res boots? no mana barb?
u need 72ias against necs so 37ias+ grief hl 15ias jool
where gore my fren?
psn scs for what? u can ww trash palas and you wont win with that bm setup against good palas anyway

I can use the psn diadem vs necs, it has 15ias jool.
Yes you can ww trash palas, did so with half my inventory missing last evening, but i like to bow for fun
Did not have mana issues, ofc if i had more fgs i would prefer mana in fcr ring, but this is the ring i have and im happy with it,

Gore is written in main setup.
