mythos: Yeah, that helped alot, and I my self think that weapond switch is too slow when dueling (Or is is just me that is slow? :/). 5,2k foh dmg with no weapond is sick IMO! Good tips, thanks.
But, one question, since you dont switch weapond, you have to switch between Convic and Fana, Foh and Smite? Dosent that take longer than a weapond switch? :undecided: And charge for fast moving:shocked:
I was thinking abut:
HOTO / HoZ (or Spirit, well see) with Convic aura or tele.
On switch, Greif / Up'd HoZ with Fanat. How come that is slower than switching between 5 different spells?:scratch:
I dont have any items, is my big project for the next season:wave:
There are a few things you HAVE TO HAVE for this build and 9 pcombats is one of them. They go a long way to getting viable foh dmg, plus they add to H shield & hence smite dmg. Getting a fancy cta with foh/conv will be a pain and very expensive and once you're done with it you'll probably have a hard time trading it for what you paid for it. Plus if it rolls a low bo you gotta clean it out and roll it again, and again..... Buying one with 6bo, well THATS gunna cost ya!!
One of the reasons i don't like the weapon switch set-up that you're proposing is that pre-buffing bo gets annoying real fast. I like to recast bo after each duel. Another reason is that by having greif in your hand at all times you can really use your charge to its full potential. If you see an opening to charge you can expoilt it without having to worry about whether you're holding your hoto (normally made in a flail which will do crappy dmg). Charge is not just a form of movement, but an option for dealing dmg. Charge is a great way to turn defence (moving rapidly w/o being hit) into offence.
As jackson said, your hotkey set up is the key here.
If you're using the F1-12 keys for hotkeys then you're doing it wrong.
I use
A = foh
S = convic
D = smite
F = fanat
E = charge
Space = tele (but i rarely tele with this char)
doen't matter where prebuffs go. also having H freeze handy is good for slowing smiters down who you won't be able to go toe to toe with.
My fingers constantly sit on shift, a, s, d with thumb on space.
I can change from foh/ convic to charge/smite/fanat very quickly, much faster than weapon switch.
Ultimately, when you've built your t/v you can try both set ups. But don't use spirit, use hoz. its by far superior for this build. On the foh, the +2all +2combat skills > spirit. FCR is not needed on this build. So Hoz all the way. On the smite side use up'd hoz for extra dmg.
Don't take what I'm saying as gospel. read as much info as you can on t/v's and compare different peoples approache to this build. You need to find a mix of gear and skills that will suit your playing style. Then once you're ready to go, hit the dueling games and PRACTICE, PRACTICE PRACTICE. Its the only way to get better.
Good luck and have fun. t/v's are good fun.
