D2R:
Hey everyone my name is jess aka TOESHANK. I've been FPKing for over 15 years,
Here's a simple guide explaining FPK what classes are allowed what items you should be using and what your job is.


Twitch Channel - https://www.twitch.tv/toeshank for live action and help !



Table Of Contents
1. Introduction
2. FPK Necro Guide
3. FPK Trap Guide
4. FPK Barb Guide
5. FPK Druid Guide



Introduction:
FPK is a 4v4 Team base dueling league the only classes allowed are Trapper/ Bvc / Necro / Druid BLOCK IS BANNED IN FPK
This is a higher level of game play id advise practicing among friends before entering a real top tier FPK game.
The reason why FPK was created was to ignore insane matchups that nobody enjoys for instance Necro Vs ES Blizz Sorc
This is not balanced one bit
FPK is here to make it more balanced when you've reached a certain level. This will not apply for new players



2. FPK Necro Guide (Support 4v4)

Stay alive and amp
Necromancer is a very tricky class to play in FPK at a top level. One mistake and your life could be over due to no WSG in D2R. your job is to STAY ALIVE the whole time. You must make sure the WHOLE enemy team is AMP'd. You must take in consideration of the trappers fade which makes
amp disappears n 10 seconds, So you must REAMP the sin every 8-12 Seconds make this a habit. Your other goal is to BONEPRISON any target that is getting mindblasted by your
sin. If you see an enemy barb rush your sin you should be holding BP so he does ZERO damage a top tier necro has the whole team ampd and bpd 24/7 pure map control When you see your enemy barb getting mindblasted by your sin your objective is to boneprison him 1-2 times so your team mates can jump him after 1-2 BP's you may spear him
(A lot of necros will BP Before amp please make sure the barb is AMP'd before you even THINK about Bping him!)
Keep in mind that teeth is your bestfriend swirl + teeth = MEGA STUN. If you see a sin mindblasting your team mate tele 1.7 screens away from her and cast teeth it will proc her CLAWBLOCK and allow your team mate to get out!

3. Trapper Guide (Support 4v4)

Trapper is a very important class in FPK the team with the better sin will win (usually). A trappers job is to stun, people make the mistake and hold mindblast on a single target when you have zero team mates around and take damage.
A true trapper will mindblast the target once and go back to his team. People dont understand that your goal is to keep the whole team swirld at all times as your pinning down the barb. The moment that enemy sin mindblasts your team mate
you should mindblast her 1-3 Times so your team mate can get out. Your first goal is to mindblast the barb pin him down let your necro BP him and the druid stomps as a glorious BvB happens. When the barb is dead rotate to the next open opponet
for a nice clean mindblast, Normally the druid comes next get rid of the pure damage chars after that necro or sin is free game who ever you can catch with your team.

4. FPK Barb (Damage 4v4)

Your goal on barb in FPK is to sit beside your sin and wait for a mindblast lock the moment she mindblasts someone get in there and try to get a whirl off , if u go in at the wrong time you will die just because your sin mindblasts someone once that doesnt mean go in and give er you will get bp'd mb'd stomped by druid bvb'd RIP.
Look for clusters of people like Trap and nec beside eachother go on a nice angle and get a whirl off on both !

5.
FPK Druid (damage)
A good druid makes the team if you have a power house druid and a decent sin you will most likely win. Your goal is to stomp anything that your sin has mindblasted SAFELY
also important to stay alive - you see a lot of beginner druids go ahead of their sin and get caught right away and die
the good ones will typically stay out of range of the other team's trapper and watch for knockback mechanic of MB from their sin
When your enemy barb is in boneprison stomp him nado kill him get out.
Always keep your eyes opened for swirls ontop of Druid/Nec head if you see that and have a lock simply hit your volcano hotkey it will stun them in place and line up a easy kill!
