BAs require 59 dex, that should be covered by charms/eq but maybe not. Also, widowmaker requires 146 dex which isn't easy to come by without putting in stats.

with equipping BA you can easily get a 15+stat anni and 15+stat torch and wear a rfrost to equip baxes
or you can get perf stat anni and perf stat torch to equip it without care
besides even without wearing rfrost, you get +10 dex from angelics
about widow i dunno bout that
you need to be able to use widow with angelics since angelics deliver superior performance vs high def oponents such as well built hammerdins , v/t, smiter etc.What reason is there to put dex on a BvC? I can understand some str for a fort switch, but why add any dex?
hum base dext for widow means you are usingI hel'd my widow so I didn't need any point in dex to use it.
ravens which is not the best jewelry to use especially if you duel v/t or high def hammerdin, even with enchant you get like ~14k ar which is a bit skimpy imo

There is none. If you desperately want to use widow (117 dex hel'd) just smack on arreats+ravens. You still get 20k+ ar with hsarus vs hammers and if you need to wear coa you can always use tal belt (20dex and 30 mana =)
Widow is a waste of time though, it's usefulness is limited to make life easier vs a few mediocre hammers.

Killer, just because you don't know how to use a weapon doesn't mean it's useless. Stop pulling an olba and at least admit that some people's ways of dueling may be just as powerfull as yours.

The moderator in the pvp forum even made a thread recently where he confirmed what all good duelers in my realm established over a year ago.
It's not about dueling style, if widowmaker helps it means you are dueling bad hammerdins who don't know how to play vs barbs. Good ones welcome widowmaker since it means more opportunities for mistakes at the cost of nothing (no experienced duelers consider widow a threat). Anyone who've tried widowmaker vs good hammerdins know what I'm talking about. It's futile and useless. Fun factor yes, viable in real duels, no. Just like fortitude.

I could use sanctuary on that barb with my libby ^^
Yep, that's just another reason why widowmaker is a joke. This barb still packs more damage even with enigma though, and fort+dual griefs make short work of 2/3 of all hammerdins. Harmony is in the process of being tested together with fort, I'll get back with results later.

Just out of curiosity, how are you planning on hitting a hammerdin with a harmony?

I thought that was obvious, since you wont score more than 1-2 pointless hits during a whole duel with widow either you just use harmony for desynch frw switch to get out of tight situations that otherwise would have gotten you killed with fort.

If you're only getting 1-2 hits with a widow you're not spamming enough GAs or suck at aiming them. Also, with harmony and fort how are you planning on beating a defensive hammerdin anyway? You're never gonna get close enough for a melee attack unless the din is retarded.

If you're getting more hits you're dueling bad hammers who either cant play offensive or escape arrows. Defensive hammerdins are impossible without enigma in either case, but vigor actually works better than I expected. Especially together with enigma the desynch is amazing.
