Help: Hammerdin vs ES FB
Hi everyone, Ive having some problems with ES sorc with my PvP hammer and I figured I'd go here for some tips. Mostly i do Pubs, scince im not in any league or ladder atm, so there's 2 types of ES FBs I face, those who cant tank my hammers and those who can. The ones who cant tank hammers are no probs, I just name lock tele and hammer spam them to death. The tricker ones can tank my hammers better than I can tank their fireballs, which I never can beat. Sometimes I try out 2xDwarf Stars+Infernostride, which pretty much completly negates their damage, but I consider very that BM so I'd prefer being able to kill them without super sorbing & stacking.
Scince they tele arond alot I rarely get more than a single hammer hit a little now and then, and with slvl 30+ Warmth and 3k+ mana their mana is regenerated faster than I can damage (most pubers doesnt hesitate to drink mana pots either, especially not vs sorbers). Most duells never ends, we just tele around getting a few hits every now and then but nothing does any sagnificant damage. So how to kill ES sorcs? Poison is supposed to work, but there are no high psn damage weapons in the game that i know of, I dont wanna go to stash and switch 20xlife scs for 20xpsn scs everytime i wanna duell a ES sorc. Does open wounds work well? My current lvl is 90, so OW does Clvl=61-99: (45*Clvl-1319)/256, 45x90-1319=2731 damage over 8 seconds. Does this suffer from the PvP penalty in damage? So its becomes 2731/6=455 damage over 8 sec? Im thinking of having a Malice Runeword in a Pb or zerker for 100% Open Wounds and use charge, but is 455 dmg over 8 seconds any good? Is there any other way to go around ES?
