Early ladder pvp?

Early ladder pvp?

I'm thinking of making a pvp char parallel to my main char, a skelliemancer for mf.

It will be really fun to duel without godly gear, so i was wondering what build is better suited to early ladder, when all those runewords wont be available(at least for a while)

a sorc for her teleport? mana would be an issue
or maybe bone nec or trap assa ? (resists will be low at that time :azn

If I recall correctly for up to 4 months or so a lightning Javazon will work really well for pubbing.

A duper comes in with enigma and EZPKs the room. It was happening within a week of the last ladder start.

 

[CaptnSparrow]

Some kind of sorc.



Very easy to get items (Wiz, Viper, Whistan, Shako, etc) and teleport. Hammerdins will smack people up as well.

 

[kertin$]

Hm...

A hammerdin would be nice, but they're boring.
The enigma thing is sad... i hope it doesnt happen too often
and the items for sorc will be pretty expensive in the beggining


other than a sorc, a hybrid assa may be the way to go?

 

[Miikai]

Im going to say a sorceress. Easy to use, not that expensive, tele tele tele.

If you're good on a hammerdin you don't really need an enigma =\. Early ladder pvp, excluding those who manage to get an enigma and whatnot almost right off the bat, is usually run by vipermagi/gangel hammerdins and similarly geared sorcs LOL. I find it humorous at times, it's almost like classic.

I personally am of totally opposite opinion.

Desync-only hammerdins are predictable and boring, low offensive actions and a lot of chickening around.



I am thinking about making some fun LLDs again at ladder start =] I used to LLD a lot earlier, but the scene kinda died, all my gg items are rotting on my mules now

IMO, sorcs and bone necros would do the best early ladder. Sorcs are still too fragile to be called the best, lacking gear to go full ES, while necros who use wall/prison will slaughter anything without tele. Spirits are a ***** too if you can't tele.

*mutters something about LLDers not having tele and still bring able to face walls and spirits*

and prison spam? x]

 

[inanefedaykin]

Prison and decrep are bm and we are so not getting into a bm discussion again.

 

[CaptnSparrow]

A Kick/Trap assassin might be interesting in early ladder.


Some good rare heavy boots, wizzy, stormshield or spirit, etc. With Burst of Speed and a good cast rate, they can lock well. And with Dflight sorcs won't be as big of a problem.

he was talking about bonenecros in pub games in early ladder, including walls and prison spam, and then bs becomes amazingly strong.

I don't see how this is related to LLD now.


anyway, I'll start with a K/T I guess because I'm an assassin fanatic. Trapsins could do well too in early ladder pvp.

I think ill finaly make a hammerdin
for both mf and dueling
boners, sorcs, trappers etc will be hard
but every1 will be low on life and getting close to the hammers will be ultra-dangerous

 

[Ouallada]

Actually, I think this low-life thing makes necros a lot more dangerous. Unsynergised hammers still give about 11k, which means you will one-shot almost any character by quite a bit, as there isnt Bo for non-barbs. Necros can do almost the same, excpet their projectiles actually track.

 

[akumaxxyz]

even fully snergise hammers dont do 11k with out +skills dont give fake numbers lol

 

[kertin$]

True but still enough to 1-hit KO

now im between the nec and the hammy

 

[ultrabadbob]

if u can wrangle a titans, a cs zon w/ peasant crown, smoke armor and rhyme sheild is gg in mld. just go max block, rest in vit and max cs, lf and lstrike. almost no one will have enough light res or life to survive more than a few pokes. lots of frw (titans, peasant, 40% boots) makes it really easy to chase non telers down.

 

[Ouallada]

With normal gear you can easily get 11k. We both know that I meant fully synergised hammers up there, so lets not pretend to be silly. Hdin gear is pretty easy to find. Shako/3pcomb ammy/dual spirit/viper/spider are all extremely doable gear if you mf at the right places. Any plain pcombs or off gcs can be used too. On top of that, ubers are still easy with low gear, so a ptorch is doable. That already gives 9k damage. Find a maras? It goes up. Find an off gc, it goes up. Find a pcomb, it goes up. That isnt even taking an anni/bk/soj into account, as well as any rw using a hr. Conversely, a hoto is extremely doable as well. Besides anything needing the higher level hrs, anything can and will be found in first 2weeks of reset. Still don;t believe in 11k?
