Orber Dueling Help Needed
Hey guys,
I'm currently dueling with a pure Orber. Shes level 81 and has the following skills:
20 ice bolt
20 frozen orb
20 cold mastery
20 telekinesis
01 Energy Shield
01 Warmth and prerequisites
02 skill points unspent
~80 stat points unspent
She's wearing:
Shako
+2 Sorc +10fcr Amulet
+15% +3 Energy Shield 15% Regerate Mana Ormus
Oculus
Lidless (P. Diamond)
Arachnids
SOJ x2
Sandstorm Trek
Magefists
7 Cold skill charms
20/15/9 Annihilus
Random other charms
I come out with about 900- life and about 1000- mana. I have bad resist except for 75% Poison Resist. I teleport near free. I hit for about 900 with orb and the mastery is at around 200-210%.
Here's my problem:
All of my duels are one sided; either I completely dominate, or get the crap beaten out of me. In particular, I'm looking for some strategies against these builds:
TrapSins: All the ones with decent trap damage have destroyed me. They just sit in the middle of the traps and I can't do anything about it. I'm thinking maybe more FHR, but everytime I stop teleing to Orb i get smacked.
Fireball Sorcs: After they put on their 2x Ravenfrost, this duel doesn't go well for me. The main thing is when I orb, that time that it takes before I can tele again, they tele on top of me and down me in 1 or 2 18k balls.
Skellimancers: I got marauded by one of these the other day. He was lower resist/poison nova/teleskellie. I killed 2 skeletons in like a minute and a half before he hit me with a nova and his fire golem killed me.
Bowazons: Yeah...they're not supposed to be very good, but this one that I dueled was really good...she was using probably WF and took me out in 3-4 hits. I could avoid the GA, but as soon as I orb, I'd get hit. Again, I don't have enough time to tele again because of the delay of Frozen Orb.
Wind Druids: They have cyclone. I can't kill it. Turns out I just tele away and orb at their armor while they try to catch me and recast cyclone. This duel is rather pointless.
I've pretty much had a good time against Bonemancers (even teleing ones), almost all barbs, and weaker versions of the above. I lost to a WWsin, but I should win those.
Anyways, I could use some tips and strategies against those builds that I mentioned, as well as any suggestions in equipment or my char in general. No, I don't have Nightwing or Fathom or 5/5 facts.
Thanks for looking,
Ed
