ok, here it goes... i hate these really long arguments because i'm sure some of you guys will disagree with me and continu to argue with me... =P
1) yes, the character is only as good as the skill of the person whose controlling it. however, the character must also have good equipment... i don't think i have to make that any more clearer since you guys aren't newbs.
2) you said that a barb with a tele aummy can kill socr in one hit.
i don't deny that, but IF the socr is also being controlled by a skilled player, the barb has no chance. a decent socr should be able to continuously cast nova/orb and not run out of mana, plus have ts on.
therefore, when a barb teles near a socr casting nova/orb AND he gets zapped by ts (does over 1000-2000 damage i think) only skilled barbs can survive that. you must be an expert to actually be able to hit the socr and still be alive...
3) druids... if a druid had a tele aummy (NOT an elemental druid), he could probably kill a socr because NON-elemental druids usually have tons of hps.
ELEMENTAL druids are a different story. i have NEVER seen an elemental druid in hell or dueling. i've only seen them in nightmare...
when i created an elemental druid for fun (cause i had this unique war hammer or something that gave +3 to elemental druid skills and a lot of other stuff that were great for elemental druids), almost every game i joined, i had people telling me that elemental druids suck... i felt really bad, but i had to agree with them. even with my best skills maxed out, i couldn't do bloodyruns in nightmare without help...
