PvP Poisonmancer Equipment

Okay, so I'm making a PvP Poisonmancer, and I've got the skills pretty much nailed down:
20 Poison Nova
20 Poison Dagger
20 Poison Explosion
20 Bone Armor
1-pt wonders(Clay Golem..or Fire Golem to finish them off?, Lower Resist, etc.)
Rest into Bone Wall for armor synergy?? that only leaves me with a pitiful like 500 dmg absorb with +skills

But anyways, I was wondering about my equipment, mainly between these things:
Bramble? or Enigma?
Trang Gloves/Belt/Shield or Trang Gloves, Arach's, Homunculus/Darkforce

Can anyone help me out? I've seen a few builds in these forums, but some of them differ, and some just seem downright dumb.

Thanks in advance.

I would use the eni for the maneuverability. Youll still do a ****load of damage. And i would use triple trang. But maybe someone can argue on the other setup as you would be lacking fcr.

Here you go. Should be pretty useful.
Also for PvP 3 piece trang is not a good idea as your fcr will be terrible. You need to work on that.

yeah elmek i was looking at that, but it's 1.10 so i was wondering if there's any difference, other than the marrowalks thing

Well, not much really changed. Yoy can consider spirit as a shield, but I strongly suggest getting max block. That's why homunculus or even SS are better.
Focus also on getting the 75 fcr breakpoint, as you'll not be able to get 125.

Good luck.

-1 pt in teeth/bs for kill works as well. W/ bonus skill gear you'll do plenty for finishing off poisoned chars.

-And yes you need enigma as this is a hit and run char. mage plate or bp for type.

-get yourself a pt in skeleton and skeleton mstry. Go out and get yourself some minions before dueling foh'ers chargers etc.

Skellies dont last long and these points will be invested better in a bonewall that synergizes bone armour. Cast bonewalls against fohers, does well too.

walls won't help if the foher aims in your general direction. skellies also help vs. bowzons (which GA bypasses wall I believe) and helps minion stack to put some chars into FHR.

I would go 125 fcr.

Circlet - 3pnb or 2necro - 20 FCR
Weapon - Hoto - 40 FCR (I don't know how much web has)
Shield - 35 FCR (If you're going to minion stack or use revive stack, you don't need block..
Belt - Arachs (20)
Gloves - Trangs (20)

135 right there. or, use a different shield and get fcr from rings, amulet.

okay so if i do have some skellies, should i go for max block or not? i think i should, because once my skellies get wasted, i'm fudged :X

IMO, if maxed block is an option in the build, any and all pvp chars should absolutely take advantage of it. There's way to many chargers, bvc's, etc. not to have that as part of your defense.

k thx so here's my plan:

20 Poison Nova
20 poison dagger
20 poison explosion
1 bone armor
20 bonewall
1 lower resist
1 fire golem
all prereqs
1 skeleton
1 skeleton mastery

Which leaves me at level 86, so 4 more points into bone prison for bone armor/wall synergy

Strength: Enough for equipment, i'll have to work that out when i get final equipment.
Dexterity: Enough for max block.
Vitality: Rest
Energy: Mana pots are allowed in duels:wink2:

Helm: 2nec/20fcr/str/res circlet
Armor: Enigma Mage Plate or Dusk Shroud
Shield: Spirit Monarch (for 125 fcr bp)
Weapon: Either a Hoto or a Death's web, dweb will require 1 fcr ring and fcr ammy
Belt: Arachnid's Mesh
Gloves: Trang-oul's Claws or w/e
Boots: Treks
Ring1: if hoto, soj, if dweb, good fcr ring
Ring2: soj
Amulet: if hoto, mara's, if dweb, good fcr ammy with +2 nec skills

19/19 ntorch
9x PnB
life/res charms

Ok... A POISONMANCER NEEDS DWEB .

none of this 125% bp bull ****.
its useless. all u need it for is quick tele nova tele away. but 86% bp is just great!
u need roughly 190-200 dex at lvl 85-90 for max block with homunc, its a wise choice.
i use ::
Dweb
2/20/20 circlet
mp enigma A MUST
homunc
arac
10fcr ring/rez
bk
treks
trang glove
craft ammy

I do just over 9k dmg per nova. and after LR their rez is dropped -115% about.
Max block makes it for fun killing bvc's =)
I'm not sure of mods on 3 piece trangs?? the -25 and i dont know wut other useful mods it gives?
Good luck. OH, and skels arnt a bad option, although in pubby games ull die once.. then.. bybye army, waste of ur skills? DONT MAX B ARMOR! get prison and wall for +15 per lvl.
Peace

I agree with Bloccs, you MUST use a DWEB and you do not need 125%FCR because PNova does not need to be cast in quick succession (Multiple PNovas will not stack Poison damage). But I believe the breakpoint is 75% not 86% if I'm not mistaken. I'd suggest 3 Trang Pieces if you aren't going max block, or Homunculus or SS if you are going max block.

For gear:
2/20/20 Circ
DWeb
BP or MP Enigma
Trang Gloves
Waterwalks - Use these over Treks, +LIFE on them will be multiplied by your BO and the +Vitality on Treks will not give as much with BO as +LIFE & it adds Dex
Homunculus w/ Eld Rune
SOJ
Arachnid's Mesh
10% FCR Rare Ring
Mara's Kaleidoscope or Rare w/ High stats & Resists.
