Plaguezon's are actually funny characters. They have a over 100k displayed damage, but the duration is like what.. a couple of minutes? Along with the fact that the poison can be reduced to almost nothing via resistances and PLR. A tad bit of PLR can already cut the damage by half.

fury/rabies druid these can kill alot considering its not a cookie cutter if played well it can be realy tough.

Foh or auradin are non-cookie cutters and surprisingly can take care of alot of pubby chars due to the fact of alot of newbies or badly prepared chars.

A foh/auadin hybrid is strong i used this in pub and u can get a decent foh of like 6k with the right gear and still have a fully synergised fire aura etc.

chargers a very nice little build for pubs.

plague zons will never work in pubs because once someone sees they are poisioned they will run straight to town and heal and becasue the poision is so slow its even worst.

I'm considering both of these definately. Also thinkin ama-sin/kicker. The foh/auradin would prolly have nasty 1pt charge vs. low def chars too :scratch:

Any Widowmaker based build tends to be able to surprise most public duelers. Although they amy not be the most powerful chars, they can do pretty well. Someone once said: "put a widowmaker on any char and it will kill"

Pros of each char class

Assasin: Venom, BoS, WoF-lock... (I have such an assa)
Sorceress: Enchant, Teleport, ES...
Paladin: Auras, easy to hybrid.
Barbarian: Huge life.
Necromancer: Curses, bone walls, minions. (style points)
Druid: HoW, Summons (style points)

Anyway, if you intend to play in high level hell games most of these builds might deal a bit too little damage to be truly competitive. But any build can have some fun with a widowmaker from time to time. Few of my chars have been asked to show gear as often as my lvl 69 bow assasin. And it's great fun!

I have a couple basic questions on a bow/ama-sin, maybe u can enlighten me jako. i know there's a guide, but it looks old.
bramble, trangs using BoS?
cta pb w/ ss on switch for kicks?
also, i was thinking about socketing widow w/ a nef instead of the recommended um...that make sense?

Well, I'm not a pvp expert and the build is highly adaptable as the bow only requires 20 skill points in venom to live up to it's maximum efficiency. I personally use bramble and trangs using BoS for mobility and to hit last bp, But for other varieties of the build I could see Enigma, Fort, Coh, Duress etc as viable alternatives... Fade would probably be viable aswell, as my builds main drawback is it's fragility.

The rest of the gear depends highly on how you want to hybrid the char, the guide suggests lightning traps which I guess could be pretty effective. Also gets past the troubles with low dmg output.

I went a pretty much full out setup for bow useage, and maxed mindblast and got 1pt WoF to keep the enemies in place.

Switch depends highly on what kind of build you choose, a trapper might use CtA or trap claws, while a wwsin will ofc use chaos, personally I currently prebuff Venom on switch.

Nef, Shael, Um, Hel or facet might all work fine for your bow. Although you will probably be shooing too slow to keep them away with just the Nef, I used one of those early on and it could prove helpful against low fhr fohers. (that was back in the days before I decided to get WoF)

My assa at lvl 69 (no anni or torch) deals about 4k minimum dmg with bow, but her setup is rather damage oriented.

Short summary of the build: very fun and highly configurable build, it's biggest drawbacks are however relatively low dmg output and being extremely fragile. Build fares well against barbarians and hammerdins, but gets into heavy trouble against charging smiters and bowazons.

However: Don't take my words as definite, the list of builds that can benefit from a Widow Maker is huge. It's all about creativity.
