Nope, you will simplu tear trough pubby's, but if you should meet higher life bone-necs I'd say they would slowly get you ;/

EDIT: If you wana do some testing with my on open( after my exams), im gonna remake my bone-nec and i need a rather skilled person to test on :D

yeah i'll help you test.

p.s. i'm remaking my nec with pure vita build but still ss for vs melee cause honestly melee's never land blows or come close in the first place, so the max block on my part was just a real waste
as for the res sacrifice, taking time to get 20life/5res sc's to fix that problem

Against a WW barb with grief/beast if he lands a ww on you without max block the PDR & just your BA will not help, you will be dead even if you have 900 more life going pure vita over max block. Just thought I would bring that up. I used to live for pure vita builds for PVP from the first few versions of this game all the way until grief came out. Now IMO for all around dueling pure vita builds will have a real hard time against a good BVC since they do so much damage and the mechanics of WW.

Gotcha is right, eventually a decent bvc will come by and you'll.....get raped.
Without max block you will not stand a chance vs all the mageslayers :(

Ordinary melee...well, they dont get trough my bone-armor before I recast it :D

Ya, for casters like dueling another necro the vita will have the advantage given same skill lvl (since they have 900 or so more life). But, hey, you just need to practice a little more, use walls and the landscape better then them that is all. As for other casters you need to stack, stack, stack, etc. You should be able to get to the 325% or so lightning resist stack with just a few changes. The cold is another issue and you will need a 4 soc/perf saphire shield and 10-11% small charms to help against that -cold resists they have. Fire - hotspurs helps a ton. For poison there are many options. And if you want to really make someone upset use the abs items yet for general purposes I hate abs items.

If all you ever duel is casters then go vita for sure. If you plan on pubs there will be a lot of barbs so I do not recommend pure vita. Just my 2 cents (lol).

well my clan (BoNg) hold very many clan duels in nightmare, and yes its mostly casters, so i dont know yet.
got my new nec lvl91, not in too much of a hurry to remake it (one with max block) if i dont have to yet.
as for sorc's i dont have that much trouble, mainly other necros and druids that wreak the most havoc

well, actually a godly windy casting at 163% is going to be a very rough duel since a good one will play real offensive and chase you down. A very hard duel. Advantage goes to windy.

yeha i've noticed. and since 90% of em DO go offensive, i have to play deffensive and by doing so, thye say "oh run" "run noob" "whats with running?" and it's starting to be a pain in the *** lol.
w/e though, when i DO play taht defensively i mostly win =)
question, what should i do....
teeth the pets? namelock spear oak, or namelock spear druid himself?

Well, nothing wrong with running I.E. teleing around. Nothing newb about that period. A good windy will expect you to run and cast when off the mini map.

As for tactics. If they use wolves spam teeth to get rid of their oak and wolves then play more offensively and try to chase them and spear/spirit them and not allow the druid to recast minions. Practice is the key.
If they use bear teeth spamming will probably get you killed. Just teeth until oak falls then start spearing/spiriting to get rid of bear once oak is dead and stay away and try and predict the druids tele's. Don't let him tele on you. Without oak out spear/spirit will get rid of the bear fast and the druid will not be able to take many hits.

ty for info. the thing i need to work on is knowing WHEN to stop spamming.
i think my problem is i assume they're farther away from me then i think. so i spam spears/spirits and before i know it theyve got me in fhr lock and im dead.
