Stop Guided

[Guru]

what do u think the best character/way is for stoping/avoidng guided arrow?






BTW how can u get a barb to absorb it without getting knocked back so much?

 

[ro0t]

Well, it's either charge or smite in my opinion. Not too many smiters on xpac, though :\

Pallys are the best because they can just keep on whacking the zon, or any character for that matter, and they can't do much about it :O Unless the zon is scrolling.. that always sucks.

By the way -- barbs absorb the damage so they don't get hit... they still get the physical attribs that come with the arrow; i.e. knockback

JUST RUN

 

[Snagg]

I think paladins are weak......

 

[Kitty]

duh, paladins arent as popular as zons, sorcs, barbs. doesnt mean they are weak, they just need a little bit more time. the best way to outrun a giuded id to teleport away. i also used dragon flight, then i found a monster to teleport to and i got away in time... also charge is a goos skill, then assasins can use the dragon flight or bursts of speed.

my friend says that he can make a pally the best PVP character in the game. i dont know if he can, but he swears by them. he said that at 99 his charactger will be able to take any PVP character out there.

 

[Ultmose]

tell ur friend im ready to test that theory wit my zon

 

[Misterwhippy]

i think he stopped after his third try at the 'perfect pally' he messed up ONE skill point or stat point each time and said hte character was ruined and made a new one...

A sword and sheild barb is a very formidable opponent for a GA zon. If the barb uses a .09 storm and has 216 dex (I believe) at level 99 (that would get you 75% chance to block) and has relatively high def a GA zon is toast... if the barb uses BO (mine has 4.5k life with BO and can take down most zons).

 

[liqu1d_g0at]

Snagg you think pallys are weak? NEWB... that guys friend was right, pallys are the best pvp and right now in USEAST there is a pally out break, more than i have seen since i started playing. Pally with right gear ownz and they are versatile too. you know much dmg max charge does? that killz a zon since they dont have as much life and shield.

 

[Misterwhippy]

yeah pallys popularity has taken off on east. my zon gets charged by one, if its good, itll take me, but not with out a fight. :-\

 

[Guru]

A pallys charge is a very deadly attack and works excellent againts ranged attackers such as Amazons and Sorceress' and is not bad against Assasins, Druids, and Nercromancers. I dont think they are the "ultimate" PvP character though. I have never met a pally that could kill my barb. A barbarians WW is unmatched by palidians charge when the two fight each other. i have also seen barbarians with 6k life who own every character they dueled. I saw one who had like 94 DR and 6k life who took a whole stack of arrows from an amazon. I think barbarians are the ultimate PvP character.

 

[Misterwhippy]

i think 75 DR is the max. but yeah a good barb can take a good pally. although ive never seen a really good pally.

you know much dmg max charge does? that killz a zon since they dont have as much life and shield.

knock back and life leech will take care of that. slow too, but its "cheap"

 

[-cHaOsDrAgOn-]

well id say any char can b da best pvp char (errmmm not including a necro n druid =P) it just depends on how each player sets it up
for ex.---a barb vs a pally--
who can win [pally or draw]....
-barb ww pally, pally switches 1 thorns either barb die or tie...

-pally just beats da barbs ass

--a pally vs a zon--
who can win [depends]....
-pally can just charge up wif fanatism n block off all arrows wif sheild

-zon can peirce n shoot pally frm behind n in front at da same time n pally cant block n he dies...

 

[Guru]

Misterwhippy; lol 75 dr is certainly not the max.
shaftstop=30 dr
string of ears= 15 dr
stormshield=35 dr
vampire gaze=20 dr
plus if u socket vampire gaze, shaftstop, and storm shield with "ber" runes u can add 24 % more dr
-all the items total out to be 124% damage reduction-that is the max

 

[Misterwhippy]

you can get that much DR but it wont count past 75%...

 

[Guru]

oh seriously?

 

[Misterwhippy]

yeah, otherwise with 100 DR i think it would be like people couldent hit you or somthing...

 

[l33t 0n3]

after 75% it stops taking effect.

Okay, stop talking you shitheads who only play 1-3 classes...
Best ways to kill guided-zons in order best-worst is:

1) Charge/smite hybrid (requires fast switching though)
2) Charge with max DR+high life
3) Smite with max DR+high life
4) Smart trapper who actually STUNS with fire trap
5) Teleport
6) Barb, trust me they never work to well

all of this is out of EXPIRIENCE not GUESSES!

 

[Resevil30]

That isnt true

Damage reduce just like magic find has a maximum limit. At a certain percentage the dr is nerfed, just like mf.
