Dueling


To duel with this pimp of a druid, just watch to make sure your precasts(Oak Sage, Cyclone Armor, Grizzly Bear) are up at all times, and make sure Hurricane is up constantly too. When dueling a melee enemy, just cast Tornados like crazy in the direction of the enemy, if they are missing, let up the mouse button and start casting them again, until theyre going right to them. You should kill them before they can even get a hit off on you, but if they do, your max blocking from the dex will do good for you. When dueling other casters, tele to them(click them, this will make your tornados hit them,) and cast tornados right away. They should die after 3 or so tornados. The key here is speed, especially against hammerdins and fire sorcs.

Thanks SweatyOgre for the guide :).

I'm not sure how to say it without sounding disrespectful - so ill just say it. I wouldnt consider that a guide. Thats someone's build and how they dueled two different char classes.

For one - how could you not talk about recasting cyclone armour during a duel.

Heh, I think this was supposed to go in the sticky at one point.

Up at all times...

Btw, thats my build. What do you mean it's not a guide? It has stat points, skill points, and gear, which is all you need.

EDIT: I just decided that since we don't have one, I'm going to add this to the sticky. If you feel the same way as FWI, feel free to write a better one for the sticky.

Eh theres nothing wrong with the build for one... I guess its all relative. In other forums that would get flamed for not having enough info cause they expect a LOT more in other places - but here I guess its fine. My bad if I sounded like i was trying to start somethin.

If you're wondering what I mean by more information I am talking about things like [examples:] the breakpoints/forumulas for the char, the level strat even if its pvp, and a better dueling strat. Most guides i've seen have go in depth for the major subclasses of each character [pal/ass/zon etc]

No harm intended.

It was my fault, I probably came off wrong there. I didn't think you were trying to start anything, you're entitled to your own opinion of everyone's work.

The reason no one includes breakpoints or formulae is because they're all in the sticky. I didn't go into real detail because that's basically all you do with a wind druid, keep precasts up and spam tornadoes.

Nah it wasnt your fault - I just wanted to make it clear i wasn't trying to disrespect. I just think its more helpful to include the info in the guides as well... considering guides are there to help I think thats a descent idea.

I PMed you a link of an example of what i mean by detailed strats/lvling guides etc for a windy. He only has 1 item choice but I like his pvp strats.
