How do we gear the bvc to put up a decent fight with a V/T or a Hdin?

Hdin you just upwhirl or you walk down then zerk up in their blindspot
You wanna use high deadly strike and ar when dueling a paladin of any kind.
Smiter, basically same thing but don't zerk them.
Also want to use high dr vs smiter.

Upwhirl when you tele stomp them or upwhirl when they are stomping you?

For the blindspot are we talking about the area where the hammers don't come out? like the left side of the hdin?

So for the V/T, I need the right combo DR, AR and light res for the Foh. I'm trying to get the most optimal set up so I can tank smites, tank FOH but also have enough AR to cut through them.

I was thinking angelic ammy + ring + wisp with dungo coa dracs and gores. for the V/T

It’s called bvC for a reason

Vs hdin you can use a simple arreat arach dracul widowmaker setup tho

Or a 20 fcr 120-45 helm with Angelics combo (you should double check the ias bp for widow tho)

Plus the non arreat one costs a lot of Dex hard points

Then use this build but go 8 fhr large charm, 10 fhr viso and 9x 10/76/45 gcs, dungo and some 20/5s: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=64469553

Put ww on teleport key and just teleport at people and ww threw them. Don’t do the long wws that’s boring just clip them or go through them, I usually 3v1 on a bvc cause it’s too easy.

I also like steelrends swap, just get a 25 str ring or some str on viso, you need 50 total.

Also for a dr swap go stormshield and Hsaur boot and belt or just put on a coa.

Not really needed tho as ww has a plus +1 range modifier so a 3 range is really a 4 etc. this is why you can use a 2 range. They even got a duel legendary mallet barb build using range 1 weapons but that’s expensive.
