few as bm as it gets ideas:

bully amazon (50% slow, holy freeze, 200+ seconds slow missile that doesnt go away from talking to akara):
- cta matriachal bow
- cleglaw gloves
- blackhorn helm 15 ias @res jewel
- arach
- doom + stormshield swap
- shadow dancers
- raven
- 10 fcr str dex mana ring
- 2 ama 18 fcr amu
- p&m sks and resist life scs

skills:
- max slow missile
- max dodge
- max evade
- max avoid

doesnt even deal damage, but ppl cant kill you nor they can play the game with slow missile for 4+ minutes straight, you could however swap doom for titan and go plague route to deal some dmg there.

full bm smiter (35% slow, max holy freeze for absurd freeze range, slow missile charges, lifetap/bone prison charges):
- grief pb
- coa berCham
- arach
- cleglaw gloves
- sanctuary st for slow missile charges (or phoenix st and use sanctuary st on cta swap to cast it)
- marrowwalk boots (good stats, lifetap / bone prison charges)
- enigma
- 2 pala 18 fcr amu
- wisp20 (oak/some abs)
- 10 fcr str dex mana ring

skills:
20 holy freeze
20 smite
20 fana
20 charge
rest into holy shield (or vigor for more charge dmg)

torture necro (tripple slow, and they all stack indivudally, you can make smiters get like 35 fpa smite and barbs over 30 fpa whirlwind, just being unable to land any hit like that):
- doom + sanctuary main swap
- enigma
- blackhorn ias @ jewel
- arach
- cleglaw
- raven
- widowmaker 'shael' on swap (or um but 2 frames lower fpa)
- gore rider (some open wounds)

skills:
20 decrepify
X into revive (few summons to protect you, along with some skellies)
20 psn nova
20 psn dagger
20 psn explosion
rest into some summons

no
you can build it as bowazon or barb with bow and deaths web swaps or whatever else, the dps of poison charms is too low
its generally going to do a range of 59 dps (75% resist) to 472 dps (-100% resist) for 24 seconds (almost everyone has -100 PLR), for direct damage skills like guided arrow. For multiple shot you deal -25%
anyone who gets hit has all the time in the world to teleport back to town without risking dying
you can't townguard with blade sentinel anymore since it poofs when you go into town

think of someone with 3500 hp who gets tagged with a 59 dps poison for 24 seconds. Even if they just totally ignore it, it will take out less than half their max hp
meanwhile if a sorceress just builds as a glass cannon her guided arrows can deal ~24k fire with some -resists which might be as much damage up front per hit as poison deals in its duration, and if the same sorc just enchanted a zon spamming multi shot from the town entrance she could deal some decent damage multi spam
none of these will OHKO people


Contrast blaze in front of town. Its hard to quantify since blaze damage is multiplied by the number of tiles you overlap at once, which from a straight line is usually 3 tiles so they display blaze dps as 3x the per-tile dps. But you run over the same tiles 20 times and you're dealing 20x the listed dps. And a sorc with 16.4k blaze with -80% resists, dealing 20x her base dps, against a target with uncapped 75% resists who becomes -5% resist, takes 58500 DPS after resists and pvp penalty, enough to kill a 3500 hp char in 2 frames, enough to kill other less tanky chars in 1 frame.
