#4, Strategies:
NOTE: I will not tell very much, its boring + you have to find ur own playstyle

How to make invisible spirit / spears (also works on fireball sorcs and all chars with missiles):
Its all about shooting when ur enemy is _NOT_ on ur screen, neither on ur map (u will have to "guess" wheres hes located)
Shoot spirits in the direction u think he is / will move. he will now not see the spirits when theyr on him.
If he shows up on ur map again, and u keep send spirits, the spirits sent when he was visible on ur map, wount be invisible.
(if u did not understand, PM me. i will try to answer)

Necro Versus Trap-assasin

Use atleast 1*whisp ring, or if u ask and ur allowed use thundergods.
If whisp only, play bit more defensive. try to make invisible spirits as explained.
If u got thundergood, or u feel u can be aggresive, then try aggro him, when he moves to lay new traps, THEN u should attack!

Necro Versus Necro (the funniest)

Mirror match, i give u 1 hint if the opponent has golem... use spear.
thats the only hint, nec vs nec is the funniest duel and i leave it out to u!

Necro Versus BvC

Just be careful when he leaps. if u wanna be uber-lame+defensive, then go some place, Spam bonewalls around you.
wait for him to come, when u see him, shoot some spirits on him, let him leap (DONT TELE AWAY), let him tele, let him whirlwind you. Just keep shooting.
The thing with the walls is, they will take 9/10 of the whirlwinds strikes. not you (lame but works).

Necro Versus bow-Amazon

Aggresive. Aggresive. tank them as fast as u can or else ur dead.

Necro Versus Java-amazon(the most boring)

I usually BM (bad manner) javazons coz theyr so boring, puting absorb etc. if u dont want, just spam spirits and avoid geting hit.
should be no problem

Necro Versus FB-Sorceress (the 2nd hardest)

Unless you dont have any absorb ur 99% dead if the sorc is energy shield 95%~~.
Just try to get in the hits so theyrs mana equal to zero, then tank them.

Note, if they use mana pots u got no chance w/o 95% res

Necro Versus LIGHT-sorceress (not as hard as F cool

Do the same as in VS fb sorc.

Necro Versus ORB-Sorceress
(here u get use for the 20/11s cold)
Avoid geting "perfect hits". but this duel could take forever.

Necro Versus BLIZZARD-sorceress(hardest)
(20/11s cold)
Here u'r total chanceless without 1*raven, 320+ coldresist (20/11s, 115% wizz, etc)
even with this, its the hardest duel, u will die in 4 blizz with "best setup allowed"
Just try avoid the blizz, and try to be as close as possible all the time but not taking hits.

Necro Versus ELE-druid (3nd hardest)

Try teeth him first, (then oaks+wolf's dies)
Then either when wolfs+oaks dead u can just shoot after him. If he used bear(dont die of teeth) u must get a lucky namelock with the spirit. Else just spear him.
If he run away precast oak+wolfs, AGGRESIVE! get in 1 or more hits!.
Be careful, if he catch u ur 80% dead.
IF he get a namelock+hit u with tornado, Use run-mode first. click away from him _RUNNING_, then after teleport.
else u will just be stuck trying to teleport

Necro Versus Smiter(2nd-easiest)

I cant be arsed to explain all here, its very easy, abuse ur walls make a "house" to avoid he's passive charges.

Necro Versus Foh (easiest)
(20/11s light)
he got no chance with stacked resist, with wizz 115 lightres+ charms u will have 75% res After conviction.
_TANK HIM_ and he's dead fast.

Necro Versus Hammerdin

Hammerdin's are tricky... just be careful and dont be to aggresive and u will kill him.
Snipe alot

Necro Versus Hybrid-assasin

Bonewalls, be careful. try to namelock when running to make new traps.

Personally I just go pure damage on necromancers.
Only people that hit me are elementals anyway.

Maybe a high dr build for druids but that's about it.

Better solution for javazons:
Only need 1 wisp, incase you do get hit when first telestomping.

Just decrep them, telestomp, clay golem will hit them, then spam bonespear while they try to hit you.
They'll be too slow and too busy avoiding spears or getting hit to be able to do anything.
Full 100% aggression after you curse.

My (not necessarily better) solution for barbarians:
Circle him (not in a predictable way) and keep shooting spirits into the middle of the circle (his direction). If he tries attacking he'll get hit, if he runs he still may get hit or you'll be able to chase and spear him. If he teleports and whirlwinds near you but missing, spear his ass down and he will die. Every time he makes a mistake he is most likely to get hit.

Watch him carefully, you should be able to see when he teleports by character animation, then simply move. If he spams leap, just be patient then move again and keep shooting. I've killed many of the best with this. No bonewalls, no block, and about 24% dr.

Hammerdin:
Just some additions:
If he desynchs and you have no idea where he is, spam teeth in a circle around you. Be prepared at all times to walk down or any direction if he telestomps. If you're ready, and he misses, you'll most likely get a free bonespear hit.

Necro vs Necro:
Your clay golem is your BEST friend. Golem glitch (golem on top of you or right after you tele) will make him tank the first 1 or two hits, making you basically unhittable by spear as long as you keep recasting.

nthx
bvc will rape you with no block.
i prefer having max dr for all annoyiung melees in private games.

Fc javazons will have time to do crap , 1 wisp wont absrb all damage .
teeth wont do too much damage to hdins. ( too slow)

this build was tested by me and doomtracker on us ladder last season
and on d3jsp ( i have it right now)

cursing barb in gm game = bm (descripfy)
ull get kicked out before you know it.

high dr for only druid LOL?

smiters, bvb, bva, zealers, pure wwsins, hybrid ww sins , Bvcs , wolf druids ,
there are tons of melee characters who will pwn you with no % block or no dr

i wont even go to how easily ull be raped by bowazons
with no dr/block

Parasola · Posted: 18 Oct 2008 10:36 pm Post subject:

nah

bvb can always put enigma on
so can bva.
wolf druids are fast with frw scs u can get hit.
i play by normal gm rules.

then you should plan more.
Boneprison+ bs spam
and wont go anywhere.

i dont know what kind of bvcs you are dueling but if they at least have a bit of skill
they would use leap + teleport
when you get close to them u get stunned name locked and in few secs they are on top of you thats where ull need dr/block.

Completely disagree with your 12 fhr Gcs...

12 fhr GCs should never be used.

Here, I'll let you guess at what's better. For Fhr instead of Gcs.
