Here's a challenge guys... PVP-LLDer
Hey guys i'm trying to think up a creative yet, sorta strong PVP Low Level Dueling build. i've got very little experience with this and with dueling to begin with.But i am looking for a little bit of change from the norm of just going through the motions and getting a character to level 82 then just kinda fading away and repeating the process all over again.I probably should not be jumping into this like so... However it seems that the cookie cutter build of LLDing is the assassin. I've never played a Sin and i'm looking for some creativity (and of course i just love druids so...)This was my original thinking for a Lvl 9 dueler which evolved like so....
I was reading the old Tao of poison guide on the links in the strategy compendium. And it seemed interesting how poison was more effect when dealt with a ranged weapon.
I thought about going with a Zon who used a 6 socket bow and multi-shot. the 6 sockets would be packed with 20 psn dmg/2 seconds jewels. and maybe packing more psn dmg jewels into the Helm and armor. But i don't think that'd be powerful enough to take down or drain some of the 450+hit points lvl 9 duelers.
SOO my thinking evolved into using a barb with 6 socketed war axes in each hand again socketed with 20/2 poison jewels... but then i figured without blocking he wouldn't last much longer either.
So i almost abandoned the lvl 9 poison jewels idea. Then I remember how wonderful Rabies works in PVP at high lvls... Sooo I thought hmm... What about a lvl 18 Rabies druid with rabies and points into Poison creeper for synergies....
I'm thinking he'd wear something like a 6 socket crystal sword with poison jewels and a shield with poison jewels... if i could find one a +3 rabies helm with 3 sockets and more poison jewels... Not really sure how this would work since IIRC any other sources from poison would not stack onto the "rabies poison"...
Alright i checked out a possible skill point spread for this... now it should be 17 points from regular leveling +3 rabies from a helm and IIRC +9 more skill points from quests (1 from Akara per difficulty lvl 2 from Izual per difficulty)
leaving me with 29 skill points for the build
1 werewolf (only 1 point here for more in synergys and we're hoping our duels won't last more than 30 seconds anyway... If need be take a point from Sage and pop into Lycanth for duration and a life bonus)
1 feral rage (prereq.)
4 Rabies (1 from skill point +3 from helm)
2 oak sage (life bonues are fun)
20 poison creeper (synergy and a friend to help us duel with)
29 points to work with
the d2data skill planner says that with set up Rabies will be doing:
336-485 poison dmg over 5.2 seconds... Ouch... i think that'd put a huge dent into any LLDer.
So i'm asking for any inputs or experiences with rabies druids or even just LLDing... Would my rabies attack pack any punch at such a low level even with some synergies?
This sounds sooo fun to me guys!!! a low level rabies druid woot!! Please help me!
