i (and pretty much every lvl 18 zealot) use:
cleg
twitch
45 max crown
angelics
deaths combo gloves + belt
cow kings boots
60+%ed/110+ar 60maxed aerin shield

crystal is horribly slow. you need the ias from both twitch and deaths to hit a fast bp with a -10 wsm weapon. an alternative to cleg is a pick or a good scepter (+3zeal/+3conc being about the best for this build). best charms are 6max/44ar/22 life gcs (not too sure on the ar/life maxes but 6 max is best gc, try to get a few of them) and 15 life/ar scs to fill up the spaces. for my charms to save some "money" i went with 5 gcs and filled up the rest of the space with 15 life scs. i have less ar and max damage than a lot of the top duelers but i wound up with 904 life.

I am more or less same settings but use 1 rare ring that grant me 5 str, ar, life, mana, res. mayb that str is 4, I cannot remember well, but AR was high so that I didn't get much lower ar than using angelic. mayb difference of 100~200 ar? Using such ring provided me with extra life I can say, cuz I am using crown shield :p with base str of 25 + 5.
 
Beware elemental damage with melee LLD'ers. You can shoot yourself in the leg by actually healing your opponent. This is most likely the case against lvl 30 something casters that get alot of MDR from gear like Vipemagi, Strings etc...

This is of course not an issue if you don't duel that kind of lvl cap. Still... physical damage is king in LLD. The only item with enough damage to offset that comes to my mind is a rare circlet with 1-100 lightning damage and other good mods. Socket this baby with 2x 15 maxers and you're set. I haven't been able to test it tho :undecided:

yeah, if your dueling a lvl 30 you're missing the point. another 15max with all the %dmg increases is much better than any lightning damage you could have.
 
Yes well the circlet thingy I mostly considered for a lvl 18 jabbers who don't really get any % damage increases. I totally agree though that maxers are always better. It was just so cool a circlet it's a pity :sad2:

I'd never use the 1-100 light dmg circlet. I'd rather have an extra socket for any melee char. Yes, jabbers have low ED%, but you can use that extra socket for another ED jewel. ED/Dex or ED/AR jewels are great in 1 piece for a level 18 jabber.
