3. EquipmentHelm: Griffons Eye DiademWhy Choose Griffons?: Well griffons offers 1 skill/ 25 fcr and some mad % lightning dmg and some nice -enemy lightning resistances
Amulet: A nice Sorc Amulet with skills/fcr and maybe some resistances (try to go for a crafted 2 sorc/10 fcr (all you need)/ Resistance amulet)Why this amulet?: well using this amulet is a MUST because we need the 10 fcr to get us to 200 fcr and also the skills and resistances dont hurt

Belt: Arachnids mesh spiderweb sashWhy arach?: 1 skill/20 fcr/5% more mana, yes some very sexy mods on a belt

6.Strategies:Assassins:Trapper: Hard Duel, these trappers can be fiesty, the way to beat them is to use your fast tele to your advantage, tele around their traps spamming lightning at them, connect with 1 or 2 and they go down, the same is for you aswell, if they connect with 1 or 2 traps you may as well go down, this depends on you and your opponents skill level
Hybrid: Hard Duel, Hybrids can be very hard to duel, their traps mearly stun you they dont do damage, but what kills you are their ww's, my advice is to tele around and spam lightning in their general direction, 7 times out of 10 a hybrid will beat a light sorc so dont worry if you cant beat them immediately
Druid:Windy: Medium Duel, what you do is use chain lightning on their summons to kill them and then basically, tele around and wait for him to come into range then 1 or 2 shots and hes dead
Melee: Easy Duels, seeing as these chars dont have the charging ability, just stand out of town and wait until he comes near you, then simply shoot him once or MAYBE twice is he is good and he= dead
Necro:Boner: Hard duel, a good boner will be hard to do, this is basically who has better cast control (who can control their attacks the best), if he is good @ casting his bones then he wins, but if he isnt very good, tele to him and zap him twice and hes dead, *note these guys will not be able to tele as fast as you, so its a hot pursuit*
Poison nova:, easy duels, these chars are jokes, they need to be directly on top of you to hurt you so, let them enter the screen and the shoot them, and they die, its that easy
Barbarian:BvC: hard duel, a good BvC will thrash you everytime, they are very hard to kill and also can kill us in one or 2 hits all i gotta say is GOOD LUCK!
melee: do i really have to explain? they will try and leap you to stun you, just simply move and shoot move and shoot and you will win
Paladin:Smiters: Medium Duel, this all depends on how they are with their charge and desynch abilities, you should basically tele infront of them and shoot them, it make take a few shots to kill them, seeing as they have stacked resistances and probably some sorb
Hdin: Easy Duel, seeing as they usually stay stationary and just cast hammers, go in the screen and shoot them, its that easy, 9 times outta 10 you will win
Foher: you= dead
Sorc:Fire sorc: these are VERY VERY hard duels, seeing as these chars tele just as fast as you and out range you, they will normally win, unless they are noob @ sorcs
Blizzer: these are medium duels, these chars CANNOT tele as fast as you, they also have an attack timer which means they cant cast blizz one after another, so wait until they attempt to hit you with blizz then move in for the kill
Orber:these are medium duels, these chars CANNOT tele as fast as you, they also have an attack timer which means they cant cast orb one after another, so wait until they attempt to hit you with orb then move in for the kill
Lite sorc:n/a i dont know because ive never dueled another lite sorc
Amazon:Bowzon: medium Duels, this depends on their build, if they have knock back and poisoin damage, they will win the majority of the duels, if they dont, then you will win more than they will, tele around so their arrows dont hit you and then once in range, shoot them with lightning
Javazon:
Not Fc= them dead
fc= you dead
