PvP Vindicator/Savior Guide v1.0

[GalenDoUrden]

This is a good guide for bm pub games but any gm game you'll get booted from. And anyone that says this isn't bm, think about this, he is reducing elmental dmg to 5%. 5% of a 50k lightning hit (2,500 before PvP penalty on a max roll) or 5% of a 22k fire ball (1,100 before PvP penalty), where as his will be doing roughly 8k before 50% dr, so 4k before PvP penalty. You are essentially making it so they are of no challenge, which in my opinnion is no different they sorbing. Now I have no probelm with stack or bumping up max resists a bit, because the max dmg on elemental attacks are crazy, but I don't like trying to eliminate a characters attack (unless they start bming first). Well that ends my rant.

One thing about your dueling strategies is you will have troubles against windies with good namelocking skills they will tele stomp you and you will be smiting their summons. In my opinion they will be one of your toughest opponents due to the fact you will not have anyway to take out their summons effectively enough to hit them. Especially if they recast the summons.

Yeah I am fairly successful with this build but the only windy druids I can take out are the noob dumb ones that just sit in one spot and spam tornado.. the smart tele'ers I have like 0 chance against.

I have a question, y enigma if u have charge?

I would have to guess it's mainly because of the bolded.

+2 To All Skills
+45% Faster Run/Walk
+1 To Teleport
+750-775 Defense (varies)
+ (0.75 Per Character Level) +0-74 To Strength (Based On Character Level)
Increase Maximum Life 5%
Damage Reduced By 8%
+14 Life After Each Kill
15% Damage Taken Goes To Mana
+ (1 Per Character Level) +1-99% Better Chance of Getting Magic Items (Based On Character Level)

Teleport out of bone prison, teleport behind enemies, telesmite barbs.
If you charge a ww barb, you will instantly die.. There are some duels you just can't charge all the time. It seems that a teleporting smiter is still pretty unexpected in duels, will give you a great advantage.

I am honestly wondering about that myself but if one had to guess.. it would be to boost holy shield and smite's damage just a tad..
I personally find 20 life scs to be more useful though. I am also making this kind of paladin and plan on getting life/res scs.

Re: PvP Vindicator/Savior Guide v1.0

Even pvp hdins or caster like chars don't get full invent of combat gcs, i don't see why a SMITER should.
Eth exile won't help you against casters as this build looks like it's more against element chars.

20 Lifers are better than Pcombs unless the Pcombs are very high lifers (at least 30 and up).
HoZ is better than Exile because it provides more Damage, Strength, Vitality, Res, and Skills. Exile offers Life Tap, which is great for BMing, however, frowned upon and makes you dependent on landing a Tap.

1. BM'ing = Full rejuvs / Health pots + Sorb. I've yet to actually hear anyone complain about the resist auras being "BM"

2. Because my brother no longer plays this game, I decided to make my own V/S just for convenience sake. When my brother made his V/S, he followed your guide - got all the necessary items (legit perfs -- 20/20 PTorch, 20/20 Anni, etc; used my currency), skills, stats, and so forth. I'm looking at your guide for my new V/S as well because I've read it before, and it's the best (put some into DEX.. rest into VIT.. cookie cutter stuff). Now, I can't help but wonder how you only had 40 base DEX. Looking at your preferred items + charms (note: the worthy items that I have on my V/S are perf, as stated before). Unless you use charms w/ DEX on it, I can't see how you could do it (I'm assuming you don't swap items for DEX just to wear your PB since that's highly inconvenient).
