Charger Question

I have skimmed the Pk Library and did not find information to my needing.

For a level 21 Charger, pker. Where abouts should my AR be? Right now its sitting at about 2.5k. My life is about 700 (IIRC). My damage is not complete but if I have done all the calculations correct its 4,000 PvM with 50% deadly strike. So up to 8,000 PvM. 1/6 is 1333.3 repeating, should be enough to take down anything but a barb 1 hit.

What level should I be able to take down? I'm thinking hunting norm baal games, possibly early stages of nm (runs, no need to kill people who actually quest.)

If you are wearing Angeleics (2) rings one Ammy then you are just about maxed in AR at that lvl unless you look at things like Hsarus boot/belt combo but most seem to rather have Sanders boots (that is lvl 20 isnt it?) and Deaths sash or go Threads.

Whats your gear, looks like your numbers are pretty good, so I assume its "correct" gear, meaning:
max'd helm
max'd armor
Deaths belt
Bloodfists
Sanders boots
Angelic jewelry
Assuming a mix of Sharp grands (hence lvl 21) and smalls of sus
Clegs sword w/ max jewel
~60% ED/ 4x max'd shield.

Looks pretty good, using Sanders boots+Angelic combo+Charge, your AR will be just fine.

Good luck (and thank you for actually hunting in a decent area, so many people 24 and under pk in the sewers... yeah, because with carnage jewels, THAT'S such a challenge...)

Normal baals and early nm should be great places to hunt. Also, no problem killing people who are questing, since they ARE questing, chances are, they will be a little harder to get to than someone in a "sewer run 1" game (hmm, where could they BE?)

In my opinion, legit pking is fine, as long as the people are the right level, regardless of what those people may be doing.

Not bad.


Personally I like to have my AR in the 3k ish range so you're close. The idea behind it is that since no one really has outstanding AR, barbs pump their def. Conc + Shout + IS = one hella hard to hit barb.

 

[bigD72]

Actually I have
max'd helm (+43 IIRC)
max'd armor (+58 IIRC)
Deaths belt
Deaths gloves (looking for)
Cow King
Angelic jewelry
10 of the +8 max damage gc's with some ar on them and some life
Clegs sword w/ max jewel
64% ED +107 ar w/ 4x max'd shield. (+60)

What levels are out of my range? I refuse to take anything under 25 with this build.

 

[Matt]

I prefer sanders over CK at lvl 20+. Basically, CK=10 more dex, Sanders=100 more BASE AR, 15% faster run/walk, and are cheaper to get.

I'd say any pvmer under 40 is very doable, 50+ be careful, thats at least 29 levels on you, which is quite a lot.

Deaths gloves (looking for)

If you're mainly a pker (going against pvmers) my suggestion would be using cleglaws gloves to get the max damage bonuses. As I recall it's about 27 max dmg at that lvl and I think it also gives a decent amount of AR also.

As Matt said the AR and 10% frw on Sanders is more beneficial to a pker such as yourself. But you probably placed ur stat points thinking you'd be using Ck boots, if so, don't worry.

Also, if you do end up using clegs gloves you may as well ditch the deaths belt as cbf isn't really necessary for a pker imo.

Happy pking, let us know how u get on!

The two death's items will get you +15 to all res, if you plan on going after enchanted parties though.

But as for CBF, it's a toss up. Some sorcs feel their FO at level 39 is unstoppable and will stay and fight you, and CBF lets you run right through that no prob. I liked it on my charger.

Eh...

lvl 10 orb

+2
+2
+5
+1

=lvl 20 orb + lvl 20 Icebolt + 17 cold mastery

= 387 per shard with 100% reduced res basically will be doing a consistant 50 pvp per shard. A solid, head on orb with do about 700 or so pvp damage, assuming you have stacked res, if not add another 25% from the lack there of (825) or if you have base zero cold res..you die.


I think my 39 orber can stop a charger cold.

Maybe, but I'd take the chance that, odds are, maybe 1 in what, 40? sorcs will be this tweaked.

And I thought my puns were bad. "Stop a charger cold?"

more like 1 in 1000... ^_^ and erm, you dont wanna run into a level 30 charged boltress either... it wont hurt for long if they have some +skill gear.

anywa, why do you want deaths sash apart from the 15% res all? I suggest you get bloodfists instead, as LOTS of people overlook FHR on their chars. FHR is pretty much as important as CBF. bloodfists also add 5 to min and another 40 life.

 

[STINGER]

FHR rules and the lack of it kills daily!

Max rez sorcs croaking in WS I am willing to bet have little to now FHR becasue they want that prescious +gear and MF gear!!! If you know you will have BO then you can use those Bloodfists instead of Frosties, and sorcs should try and build without relying on FCR from Glooves if they can.

My sorc ran Frosties last season but kept Bloodfists for when she was doing Exp runs. She never had any absorb and teled right thru the badest of bad in there just the same.

I know this isnt PVP here but it ties together.

Because I have them already

Really, I kept them mostly due to laziness and the +15% res. Never bothered to swap them out, since I was doing fairly well. Got around 30 ears in a week.
