Are Fire Druids Easy pk?

DR? none at all....i even have block % less than 20%. Life is about 3k

Because it's not like i wait like a moron to let the bvc ww me...
You gotta tele out as soon as he teles in,or even stay out of his view distance at all and just place random fissures near his area.

Wizzy is all that you need. As long as your cast rate for teleport is high enough,no-one will hit you... ofcourse it does take time to kill a good bvc,also the dueling method is lame...but that doesn't mean it's not possible.

Charger = yes,some of them indeed survive the fissure while charging me,but again,i'm not standing still there,i tele around in my fissure while he charges in,and by the time he gets an aim at me (unlikely,since i randomly tele around + wolves block me) he's dead. Sometimes i also spam firestorms at his direction so he would get hit by those too,though that's far more dangerous.

Bowazon = as long as the multi arrow doesnt do knockback,it's useless. You can also circle-tele to them,cast one volcano/fissure beneath them and they're pretty much dead.

Hammerdins = They can't catch up. simple.
I tele away from them and let my armageddon rape them,also cast a fissure infront of myself or a volcano beneath them.
When they randomly cast hammers everywhere i do the same with fissure.

Smiter = same as charger? >.>

Avenger = one of the few chars that can actually rape me,but still beatable.


You're all looking at the fire druid like you would a windy = tele ontop and tornado spam..that's not how the fire druid works (unless vs something like amazons or fohers) He's more like a blizzard sorc.

Hey man, what realm are you on. If West L or NL I'd be interested to duel you. NL might take some time because I'd need to borrow a char.

Me? i'm on Europe.
Also i have no interest to duel atm...

You could create one with a char editor in SP and duel with a friend on open bnet?
...i always do that before creating a new char in closed too.

what is ur character name ?:shocked:
I've so far met two fire druids total on Eu ladder and died once in the process...anyway, it would be nice if you actually backed up your statements with some action...I have an "easy" hammerdin (rusty + lags), I can bring friends with a smiter, hybrid assa(s), light java, bvc etc.

Let us know when you are interested in duels :wave:

See,i don't need to prove anything,i'm just stating my opinion on the matter here^^

I just don't like dueling for the sake of proving whether i'm good or not,done that too much by now too (also,i would be embarassed should i lose :D).Then again,if i happen to meet you in a pubby duel game some time,i'd be happy to show you^^
I'm mostly dueling in parties of 2 or 3 with my friends....almost never alone :0,just more interesting that way.


Also,i'm currently downloading some stuff by torrent so i'm mostly just afk'ing in the chat channel since the game is too laggy.

...and if anyone has any idas on how i could get max res and more fcr when i drop wizzy+spirit for infinity,i'd appreciate it^^

/ignore sorry read over his fcr comment

I would say it involves Kira's guardian and lower fcr.

Dragoneye.

Erm.. you cant claim the godlyness of a char and NOT back it up.. that makes.. no sense AT all.

psych - and that is probably the reason why your fire druids (or ones you've seen) suck. Just because the main skills have a cast delay,does not mean you don't need fcr. Everything can catch up with you,therefore kill you. The main idea is to make others run into your fissure/armageddon and not get hit yourself. (except vs most casters and amas)

Rabbitz - I sure can... if you want proof then go find another one.

I came here to tell you that fire druids don't "suck" the same way that other say it does suck. Why don't you ask them for proof? let them make a sucky druid to prove you... it's easy!
If you don't want to believe it,then it's your fault o_O

edit : never did i say that my druid is "godly" i was merely teaching you how to make a fire druid useful,and that one does not need too expensive equipment to do so. And provided examples.

Hah. Do you realise what kind of message you are giving now?

Lets put it this way:

There is no way a fireshaman will kill a prepared hld dueler. Ever.

Since I have an Poison Creeper Druid... I have to say that I haven't really totally lost to anyone... as in if someone does manage to kill me, I'll kill them many times over. Most casters and amazons are pk.

So basically I can own any player/character in the game. By the way, if anyone wants to call me out and ask to duel I don't do that. Just believe me when I say you would lose. </sarcasm>

I see nothing much has changed in the years since I left. Much talk, little action, no proof.

If a fire druid is a competitive build, you will see them in EVERY duel game and clearly that's not the case.

Like I said before, fire druids are only good for unprepared duellers (by stacking many facets, hoping that your enemy won't have enough fire-stacks to over-ride it).

I like how Dragoneye mentioned that he has 3k life and no DR (8% from Enigma assumed) with 20% or so block but can kill sorbing BvCs...

Friendly reminded to keep this civil, you may disagree with DragonEye's stance but please refrain from personal attacks.

Fire Druid's have their good attributes too, the damage isn't concentrated like fireball sorcs but they cover good range and ground, which is helpful against characters like ww barbs or pally's charging through spells like fissure. Volcano 'causes excellent block-lock/stun. Personally I always made mine max block, I think it's almost a must if you're double fissuring while a wwbarb goes through you, or against a bowazon spamming arrows... if you attempt to tele-drop on them without max block and an SS, game over, you're finished ><

that vid was pretty cool :)
It's easy to get away with using all faceted gear when you're not dealing with bvc, bowazons, etc
