anti pk lvl 42/49

New ladder, same pk i guess..

But im looking for some characterclasses which can kill a pker in just 1 blow. Pkers which have a lvl of 65 - 75 that think they ''can easily'' kill everything that is under lvl 50..

How does the following sounds.

A paladin with fanatism (on switch this cheap scepter with + to fanatism) that indicates it would be a melee but on switch its true identity comes up and when that happens a mighty foh strikes the pker. 1 hit kill

Does the foher do enough dmg to kill such pk bastard of lvl 65 - 75

Well the character i want to use:

Paladin FOH

Weapon: 5 sox scepter, 3 to foh + 5 facets
Rings: soj's
Amulet: 2 all/ 3 to combat + life or other usefull mods
Shield: jewelers of the whale would be nice, but expensive.. High resist 4 sox pala shield with 4 facets
Helm: circlet + skills
Charms: 10x pc skillers/ life
Armor: guardian angel would be perfect imo, block, that increased resist and 1 to skills. Otherwise 4 sox with facets
boots and gloves with high life/resist etc

Im aware this will cost much time before i have these items anyway, but i just want those $&@!^ to die

A FoHer wont be able to kill a competent PKer, ie one which is also a dueler. Sounds like it would be more of a dueler you'd be fighting than a PKer if you're going through the trouble of weapon switches and whatnot.

A blizzard sorceress should do the trick, but they're huge glass cannons... I made one on SC to mess around at level 42, they pack a HUGE punch but die quite easily. I dont recall my damage off the top of my head, but she had level 42 blizzard and around 40 mastery, and would 1hit most anything her level and catch quite a few higher levels off guard. I think facets are level 49, so you could bump it up to that and load up on cold facets.

Downside is they're quite expensive, so good luck putting one together anytime soon, especially since cold skillers will be worth a small fortune at the start of the season.


Your best bet will be a caster I think, as a melee dueler in the 40's will cost you an arm and a leg to put together.

One of my fav builds ever was a tppk cold sorc killer. It was pretty 1dimensional, but super effective. 1 downfall which I'll discuss in a bit. Either a 53 or 59 pally, ultimately based on your weapon.

The main idea is to get the cold sorc out into the field, and to do that you have to fake your gear. Something to the effect of poor hammerdin gear:

Peasant Crown
Vipermagi
spirit sword/shield
Trang's gloves
tearhaunch
saracen's chance
Insight might merc
1-2 ravenfrost, prefer 2 if you can get away with it.

Now the fun part about the build is that you aren't a hammerdin. You're a charger, with an eth obedience CA or Thresher on switch. 20 charge/vigor/might and remainder Concentrate, and 300 CR in charms. Your gear you're using has enough +all res to fake like you're competent, but any cold sorc is going to know that their cold mastery will knock you down something fierce, good enough for a 1hit. Important to note, 2k life on a sorc without block or DR is awful easy, especially with their guard down. The insight merc allows mana regen enough to get your charge desynch going. The charge hits for about 20k. Best of all, this gear is cheap. 30rez cold GC's are the bread and butter, and require maybe an afternoon or two of trading. Even nicer when they have the life bonus.

Now the drawback I was talking about: mercs. If their merc is set up to tank, which is rare usually for tppk as their merc doesn't do anything for them really. You want to steer clear of them as best you can. Keep your charge going, the sorc isn't likely to land on you, especially when she thinks you're a hammerdin. Just make sure you don't charge in the path of the merc to the sorc, there's the possibility of being 1hit.

Fun build, hits hard enough to slay characters other than sorcs, but the cold sorc is certainly your target. They also make some of the more dangerous tppkers. But the highlights are the cost, as most of this can be acquired with Pgems, the CA or Thresher being the exception. You could go with an eth insight CV instead and drop it down to 48, but I just don't like the idea of that high a str req. Leaves virtually nothing for vita. At least with the Thresher, some of your dex is made up by your ravens.

No one has a chance against the TPPK'ers. The killer is in town when you die so there is no way to hurt them.

No, an intelligent tppker who knows the strengths and weaknesses of his character is in town. But, there's always the lvl ~53 challenging a lvl 80 to a duel, because his hammers are teh pwn and he 1-2 hits most mobs his lvl. And that the tppker should be afraid. When the gear matches up to look like hammer gear, and the 80 figures he can just tele away, yeah you can take out 80+ tppkers with a ~53. That's part of the bait of the build. A charger with high rez gear and an obvious 2her will not likely get a duel vs a tppker. But tppkers are hungry for ears, regardless of how they get them. Catching them by surprise in turn is just plain fun :)

Awesome! I think this build could be very realistic indeed, going to try it out. Big thnx:thumbsup:
