What would be better vs all in pub games? (especially BM pub games)

Would love to get some thoughts

It seems the ES build would be tankier, but would not have any hydra since the stats would be used in telekinesis/ ES

Is that worth the tradeoff? What wins sorc vs all? Curious to hear from people on this

If one or the other, whats the best build? Theres so many variations - hoto/spirit, obsession staff, eschutas, pheonix. I've even seen max vita builds with all + life% items like 100 life 4 soc armor, 3 sorc 100 life helm etc.

I want to build something effective but I dont feel confident about what is the BEST

Would love to hear from experienced duelers

Esfb is best when built right

95 Es with 15-16k fireball is enough damage gm PVP

In bm. That's the bane of all elemental characters

In bm people will just sorb you so it doesn’t matter what you do.

If you want to play a cancer build esfb is the way to go. Requires 0 skill to play and you can brainlessly tele and spam around like a retard all you want

We know what beats you in the moor. Many could say this about most builds in d2. Just need learn the match and overcome.

Be prepared have the setups and tokens to change quickly which you will want vs certain matchups.

So depends where you duel on rules etc. for gm. If just pub dueling well you'll be fine also probably beat everyone until they max sorb. That's when your boys come in and you can be the decoy and they kill.

necro an ancient post just to counter with "git gud"?

he's right. esfb is mind-numbingly stupid.
gameplay 1: def-whore until people get tired of chasing you
gameplay 2: go afk because someone put on some sorb
gameplay 3: gameplay 1 except put down a hydra or two for appearances sake so people can't accuse you of spamming and def-whoring

I mentioned best to have all those setups for matchups. If I'm dueling a esfb just randomly teleporting and spamming they going have a long day. Esfb is a strong build no doubt maybe the best. Is it unstoppable no it can be killed.

Yea I’m just not willing to waste time playing vs someone like that. Boring and brainless. I actually like to fight people I lose to since I can learn more and get better quality practice vs that. It’s just a time sink playing with def whores
