Which build is the best caster killer?BvC, Ghost, or WW/Trapsin?

Which of these builds is best at killing casters(in general)? I already have a BvC and i can beat about 75% of the casters i play against, so have some success at killing casters, but have never played the other 2.

Im asking this because I am thinking of taking apart my BvC(who is my best pvp char) so I can make a char that is a pure caster killer(either keep my BvC, ghost, or ww/trapsin) and pure melee killer (BvB).

ahh one of those threads again...
i like bvc.
I play east where ppl use max block /dr, sorc also use bmanas so best option imo is ghost .

ww/trap or ghost is better at killing casters

 

[Sechler]

ww/trap or ghost is better at killing casters

For sorc, nec, windy i'd say ww/trap.
For hdins i'd say bvc's have better odds.
Good hdins will put pts into resist light, and lots have a wisp built on to their finger.

 

[Camden]

Bvc will do better vs anything other than a nec.

 

[DayDream]

I'll have to say bvc

 

[ThatWasShockin]

ww/trapper.

Ww/kick/trappers can decimate all casters. The same can be said about BvC's, The same can be said about ghosts.

 

[Dennis_KoreanGuy]

The hardest casters would be bonenecs and perhaps hammers.

Or a Windy, or a Sorc...

Only casters BvC is better at is Palas

i wouldnt say sorc really is aproblem, unless they use mass bmanas and block+dr
but careful play would result in decimating those too.
id still take ghost over bvc for sorc (if they use the abovementioned gear) cuz allowes more room for mistakes

 

[LanceD]

Thanks for all the replies guys, after thinking about it some more, I am either going to make a ww/trapper because i like their play style or just upgrade the all the charms on my current barb, possibly upgrade to a higher damage grief(mine at the moment is 367 dmg), and try to get a 2 socket coz with 15 dr(I have a 1 soc, 12 dr as of now).

Gonna have ta disagree with ya.

Well, I play a Ghost, and I do fairly well against casters, although my skill needs tons more work and my charms need upgrading. Most max block casters give me a little more trouble (bone necs), but with skill any of the characters could demolish casters.

vs ES sorc's: venom'sin > all

almost true.
unless the sorc packs bmanas and btals , its not hard to kill her with BvC either

Forsrsly.

Upon reflection of mat's video, I realize just how hard we east barbs have it . Holy **** I wish sorcs here died in one full triww. ^______^

I am pro-ghost (Hybrids are fun too), simply for one thing. Traps. Sure, leap-tele-whirl may seem to work well enough, wait until you trap stun-tele-whirl. I played a ghost initially, then played around with a BvC. I never really reached a high level of skill with my BvC simply because I didn't really find it that enjoyable, plus, I kept thinking, man, traps would make this so much easier...

At the moment I am playing with a Trap/WW hybrid, and she usually demolishes most light casters. Sure, I am not perfect and I often lose when I mis-tele or misposition and eat a heap of fireballs/spirits/whatever, but generally she is very successful. Against heavier casters (read: FOH and Hammerdins) she is also fairly successful, although there are a few more difficulties. Getting the needed stack against FOH paladins is difficult without making sacrifices, as I cannot simply throw on a Kira's without repurcussions such as a loss of FCR/damage. Fortunately, traps are my friend. This is harder to do with a ghost, although I was able to beat many FOH paladins with my ghost (15k attack rating with decent stacked resists is useful...).
Hammerdins are another more annoying proposition, simply because Ghosts and Hybrids tend to top out at a little above 4000 life, which allows you to tank 1-2 hammers without dying. This is a far cry from most BvC's 7000 life and 5-6 hammer tanking ability. Fortunately, you have claw block on your side (which never seems to trigger when you need it). Hammerdins are only really tricky in that they allow no room for error, but, they can be trapped to death as well.

Anyway, both are sound propositions, and those are my experiences with an assassin, so make your own judgement. Sure, some BvC will come in here and tell you that they have never lost versus a caster, but *shrugs* maybe they have incredible gear and robotic dueling skills?

Considering *top notch* gear.. im not quite certain, its by far easier for a bvc to dominate with little less then decent gear while most hybrids would get stomped.
