Why are you interested in humiliating people?
The best pvp characters for pubs would be Hammerdin, BvC, Wind Druid, Necromancer and WWsin imo. Blizzard sorc, smiter and bowazon can also be good. You don't want a char that can be absorbed (trapper, fb or light sorc, foher, auradin, light jav), and you need to be fast and teleport (so no wolves, bramblesins, BvBs). I'm not saying the above builds are bad, just that for heavy duty pk they are negatable and so pretty dangerous to use.
And yes, you can negate a blizz sorc, but it requires an extra 250ish resists which most people aren't willing to put on in a pub. Same goes for a WWsin, its almost negatable but very few people carry psn stack or plr, let alone will put it on in a game with other people.

guys, please stay on topic or I will not be as relaxed as HappyAssassin - I know, I know...it's just a game 
I think we all know that he didn't mean a hunger druid by ''Any build'', even if 'any build' would include hunger druids ~~
Same old questions: ''what's the best char?''
same answer as always. hdins, boners, bvc, blizz, ele druids, but also a lot more chars have high potential to be highly effective in pub games and/or 1v1 in the right hands.

Humiliation is having them kill themselves. Easiest done by get IM on them, and force them to hit something. Necromancers based on IM and ClayGolem are dead hard to duel with, but if you succeed, he'll most likely leave the game.
Just synergize your gumby with golem mastery so it survives as long as possible, and maximize your IM. Finally a use for curse gc's, huh? Don't forget to use bramble though. Edge bow might be a little to daring, since you will have no block.
If you get max block and lots lots lots of life and bone armor, you might stand a chance versus characters that hit multiple hits in a streak, such as fury druids and zealots.
This can also be done on druids with SoB and Bramble (+edge?) and a Grizzly, but he won't survive as long as the gumby.
Did I mention this character has very limited use? Any caster and non-series-hitting character will completely "own" you. But hey, if you even get one single kill in a pubby, you will KNOW it is worth it!
Good luck! :azn:
Oh, in case you wondered. This will most likely be considered BM, because the clay golem slows them, but... Ah well, at least it keeps them alive longer!

you should realize that unless you are very skilled with a particular build , you will not humiliate good players. its more likely you get humiliated instead.
If you learn your hammerdin then you have a a good char to beat most pubs with.

Happy asked u a staight-forward question based on your topic and you answered with "relax". That was an offtopic answer which is what he was talking about.
A high dmg foh'er that uses charge for mobility really can be a pain in the axx.
Majority of pubs carry tgods (and maybe a wisp) which is nothing compared to a 9k foh + lvl 25 conviction + griffs + foh stick. Not very often do you see a Ptopaz shield in public dueling...people are just too lazy.
IMO, FOH is humiliating, annoying and very frustrating.

Humiliating and owning are two completely different things, for humiliation best would be a slowly killing low dmg attack, preferable something most people know as weak or such.
In effect, I would feel a lot more humiliated from dying to a Phoenix striker, Poison Dagger nec, mindblast assa, Iron Maiden necro or a Shiverarmor sorc...
Another good way of humiliating a player in duels is by beating him with a char many levels lower. A well geared low level char can handle a char 20 levels higher and occasionally even higher.

I don't think all of you are understanding what he means by "humiliating." I think the OP wants an under-powered, underrated, "wow I can't believe that thing beat me" kind of character, not a hammerdin or a BvC.
if you can get a 2fpa bearsin to actually dent someone's health, I will salute you, and if you can kill someone, there's humiliation, they desynch when normal attacking.

kicker/bow if played right can destroy a lot of chars.
another good one is melee sorc with es, those can be pretty gg too

A town summoner?
Pretty bad to be killed by a pet, no?
I think you guys are carrying on about this the wrong way.
Hunger druid, for example, would be the ultimate humiliating machine. For one chance you do get a kill, you can say they got killed by a hunger druid, now thats humiliation right there.
Or a ES sorc with specially tweaked out charms to fit a naked sorc. You can always be completely naked, and your spells will still do a lot to certain people.
