Duress on a CS Zon? wat do you think *read it*

[sam_the_man]

hey .. i have a good cs zon in the making. I have every piece of gear neeeded, and the only thing im missing is a CoH. (A little out of my league atm, and i dont feel like taking the enigma from my pally.) Would Duress be a good candidate until then? I really like the mods and its def is 1447. I also have a 2121 def stone archon i could use, but thats currently on a merc. I actually want to use duress, i think it would pwn, but i need some input from you guys .. tell me what ya think!

*btw if anyone has a coh pm me *

Thanks Alot ~ Sam

bleah bleah bleah! duress is usless on a cs zon.... just get a valor... or even a vipermagi. Even those are better than a duress.

No. Use CoH as soon as you get one. Otherwise use something like shaft or something.

 

[sam_the_man]

why is it so bad on a cs zon? i figured it would own :S guess i was wrong.
ill probably stick with shaft.

 

[Jason]

Because it's a waste of runes if it's for a zon. The mods aren't THAT great that you should waste an Um rune on it..

 

[Flaming_Newbie]

also zons have no use for open wounds/ed. For them skills=damage.

My zon will own here is my godly set up:
24/19 faceted griffs
tstroke +4 skills
Laying of hands (cause 50 fire resist)
COH

and gear that i change around is:
AGAINST CS / lite characters such as FOH:
Tgods, 4xPtopazed Monarch (160% resist lite mainly for FOH, not needed vs CS zons), 15%resist G-angel, nat boots, 18% wisp, just use a ias ss for cs zons if u have 90 resist

Against Cold
4xPsaphired monarch, 2xraven, 15%resist G-angel, (snowclash if u need to for 95 resist instead of 90),

Against Fire
(laying of hands), 2x dwarf, infernostride, G-angel, Fire resist +25 7fhr Grand charm and some other resist fire charms.

Against melee
)stormshield, Coh, raven)It doesn't matter, melee sucks. if they have tgods just use lf instead of cs

DUEL ME SOMETIME ANYONE my acct is *simpleforce
on us east NL SC

dont go for duress -_- ur dmg is from lightning not phys, u need an armor that adds to skills or defense or resistance till u can find a COH - possiblie shaftstop or maji?

 

[aphextwin]

i'd go coh..... lil bit of ll helps alot

CoH. 65 + all resistances, 2+ all skills, damage % increase to undead and demons, + strength, yea. CoH all the way. If not, Valor I'd say is good for second best.
