It'd not the same, they roll separately. First rolls deadly strike, if it fails to roll, then it rolls critical strike. Highlords definitely improves ur odds of getting double damage cos u get to roll 2 times before a hit is registered.
Great video man. Do you mostly play pub duels or organized stuff through jsp or something else? Can you elaborate more on why 86 or 99 FHR is so important?
@gcbruc thank you mate! Mostly pubs and then priv with some old players if i recognise someone from old d2 in pubs. Also, occasionally, with a few ppl from my f list but generlt I don't play at all as often as I did in old d2. About the fhr, the best way I can put it is that u don't necessarily need 86 or 99 if u r trying to escape from stuns etc but if u r stomping someone and they decide to tank u, if u don't have max fhr, u can just get tanked... like, stomping a nec with a smite or a dudu without max fhr, the nec [with 86fhr] spamming spear would just kill u. Just seems like u can't fight back as reliably in a stomp situation if the opponent has max fhr and u don't.
@@jonideath1014 makes sense, thanks for the reply. The peak of my d2 pvp career was sorc vs sorc duels with life replenish gear in the 1.06 patch, but I find all the new builds and strategies that enigma opened up really interesting. If you had 5000 fg, what would you build for mostly pub dueling in current d2r?
@gcbruc Probably a hammerdin. If u haven't played one. Its technically the hardest pvp char to master and still one of the most versatile vs all. Switching between hammer conc aura, charge vigor aura, smite and fana aura and then foh for stun can be a massive learning curve where most ppl drop the char. If u r up for learning it and prepared to fail loads until u get better, I'd suggest that. For an easier playstyle I'd go for either necro or druid, they r both very strong and versatile too. 5000 should be enough I think for a decent char.
goddam you mumble when you talk. Try have a bit of passion in your voice brother haha. Sorry just some honest feedback. I love this game and your character is really well done but it was really hard to listen to you and not because of your volume or mic..
No worries mate, no offence taken. Making videos isn't really a passion of mine, and that sort of reflects in my delivery as i wouldnt really go above and beyond to try and sound excited, when im just relaxing on a day off. I just put some d2 videos out there for informative purposes only, not trying to become a RUclipsr or anything and if my demeanor and lack of effort puts off ppl from watching my videos, that's absolutely fine and fair.
Oh yeah that's totally understandable. I wouldn't go as far as to say you need to fake enthusiasm or anything. If you are ever on N/A server I do pvp there. Feel free to come play sometime
For vs characters where block is not needed, I spec my dexterity down and use a diamond bow instead. This makes you a little bit more tanky due to the extra vitality. Shadow is better for max block builds obviously (though diamond DOES have significantly more minimum dmg) But I don’t play multi. Only GA and LF so I have no need for AR/dex. Another sneaky trick for duels that are not so GM is to stack up 11x 451s. It’s not something that is “allowed” but it makes the damage pretty devastating. I will say I didn’t know about that open wounds shield trick. Very clever use of a swordback. I’m going to have to pick one up for my zon. Very good build and thorough explanation 👍🏻
I Looove the all black sorc😍 Calling myself SeriousBlack for next reset. Maybe if you lack dmg reduction, why not try the build with a shako? Gives all skills life mana dr mf
Hey, nop, I have ran bots ages ago but havent found any nice/perfect items even with them. I've traded almost all of my items using d2jsp.org If u havnt heard of it, its an old trading forum primarily for diablo 2 and now diablo 2 resurrected where u trade items for forum gold currency and them use that to buy other items u want. That's how I've gotten all of those items but bare in mind that's over 12 years or trading :p
Hi Brian, from my personal experience of d2r pvp as of yet, fhr is almost useless. I'm not reaching the 99bp with dudu or 86 with nec. Only in my dr setups I get to the bp below that and thats unintentional tbh cos I use dungo for the dr but it also gives 10fhr. As far as I'm concerned, at the moment, if u get put in a fhr lock animation, u r then immune to any stuns and further fhr locks for a few secs, therefore u can escape situations anyways. If they revert the game back to what it was, and u can get fhr locked all the time provided enough dmg hits u to activate the fhr lock, then u will need 99 and 86 fhr for different builds.
Nop, nec never rly needed max block in general for pvp. Always rely on golem, oak and bone armor to tank hits for u and vs ele dudu, the mentality is, don't get hit :p
Can you make a vid about the differences between LoD and d2r pvp? I watched some of your LoD stuff, but without wsg, Anya bug, new fhr changes, importance of frw with new changes, etc. It seems like there are a lot of differences that aren’t very well understood (at least by me). Keep up the good work.
Hey, I ll upload a video about the items I use on my 2 pvp chars soon and I ll talk about a lil how d2r pvp feels to me in comparison to lod. Unfortunately I haven't rly played that much pvp in d2r and not a super wide variety of match ups to make a proper judgement, but its still pretty fun to play regardless imo.
yo bro,why only bear vs nec? full zoo bm? and wtf was this assa and barb duels xd they nups or def barb and camp assa is the only way to win duwduw coz op?
haha yo niki, baba was noob ye ;p full zoo kinda bm vs nec if they r not the best i guess. the assa was some hybrid, they do tons of dmg with melee shit and they got this plague rw claw with lower res, which if it activates when theres traps around, u kinda rip real quick. that assa rekt me like 5-6 times in those particular duels when i was trying to record. i did duel him a few weeks before but didnt record, i wish i did cos i did much better ;p
@@jonideath1014 ye i saw that lr but wasnt sure coz it looks a bit diffr than d2 and i still didnt try d2r well with that camp style no wonder he won 5-6 duels ^^ so duwduw not that op if i understand right after1-2 months i will prolly join and build some crap fpk chars for duels wont be much competitive but i wont def/camp and will die with honor xd keep posting duels its fun :D
full zoo is totaly bm vs nec yeah (or against everything else). You use only bear if you want good match up, and 5 wolves if you want to win but stay in rules.
Hey may I ask why you play non-ladder? Would you not make more fgs from playing and selling on ladder then changing over to non-ladder when you decide to pvp
This video is from before the ladder started :) I did play ladder, but I was quite busy right around the start of it and by the time I got to play, loads of things got to similar prices of non ladder... Funnily tho, I did actually build 2 pvp chars on ladder cos life skillers anni and in general pvp gear is quite a bit cheaper on ladder for some reason :p I ll probably make 2 videos about them soon
Diamond dmg 33-40 Gmb dog 14-72 When diamond crits, it hits for a bit more than the max normal dmg of gmb When gmb crits it does almost 4 times diamond bow max normal dmg. Also, avg dmg of diamond is 36.5 Gmb is 43 Only way u can make diamond remotely viable is with some next lvl rare circlets and even then its probably just gonna break even with gmb
200fcr would be a pure vitality svs type of sorc. Would definitely be better for sorc vs sorc. ES with 200fcr is bad though and 105fcr ES is just a better vs all kind of char.
Thx :) i remember maybe sometime last year i played some fun fireclaw v fireclaw with a guy with war scythe, cant remember the char name at all, might have been u then.
U cant reach 102fcr bp with any other helm in the game outside of 08 valkyrie and theres not many of it around at it alone costs more than my whole character
Were did you say you found the jah rune? I found a soj and a bk and ohm so far well those are best with viper. Been trying to get enigma. Really need a shako as well. I also have a perfect oc but I have hdin and necro but no sorc can’t really do anchit with hdin lol
@@jonideath1014 also forgot to ask was it player 1 or did you have more people? Sometimes I farm solo or with 2 other friends. As hdin with only teleport staff chaos sanctuary I think is good because only limited teleport needed
@@the_barbarian6689 ye i farm solo. its always luck tho, sometimes u find a lot sometimes u dont. i havnt played that much since this video, outside of 1 day when i farmed for 5-6 hours and all together i havnt rly found anything else valuable yet.
@@jonideath1014 nice ya i guess ill just keep at it and hope for the best.sucks i cant really farm meph or andy the best with no real teleport tho. i mean i maneged to do it for a while and got a bk an soj but its annoying with no tele just to slow. Still no shako it would help a lot so i could drop this 3 topez helm lol
ye, if d2r has no wsg/str bug, pvp gonna be pretty boring. i saw something about the devs being aware of next hit always misses and that they did something about it but its not "fixed" completely... proly wont be done by 23ed ;p and i definitely have no hopes of wsg/str bug being back on release, hopefully within a few months after release there will be a patch to get that shit back in the game
Tbh never rly thought to use wizzy, mainly cos i would miss 6bo, a bit of dmg and 6battle cry which also helps the merc kill shit faster. Even with the +6bo and extra mana from hoto, 2x wizzy might still have more mana and the extra gold as u said. im not too sure which would be best. To be most optimal u might want a 5fcr craft amu with the 2 wizzy so u can hit the fcr bp and then use a rare barb helm with extra bo and gf or somethin :p theres tons of ways to get a similar outcome :) thats why d2 itemisation is king :p
highly unlikely that i ll upload any d2pvp any time soon mate sry. ive got hundreds of hours of pvp from streams that i did years ago but it would be such a tedious job to look through all of it and assemble some of the better duels together that i might never even do any of it... also with d2r coming up i ll be playing that so much that i doubt i ll come back to classic d2 for duels any time soon.
About 40 vs 30% ias on javs. I think people on Jsp just want the most perfect stats possible and don't actually care about usability. Also they only care about pvp. Love your vids man!
honestly, havent been active for a very long time but i did see a lot of ppl complain about barb lagging at 63fcr on jsp and from my experience its been shit ever since they started patching 1.14 with those mini patches... i heard going for 86fcr+ even tho its not an official breakpoint, apparently getting to 86 is some kinda internal bp that helps with the lag but doesnt fix it entirely, try that out maybe.
I use colosus xbow faith
Highlord is very useless in amazon becous deadly strike is same like critical strike in passive skills. Cat eye is much better
It'd not the same, they roll separately. First rolls deadly strike, if it fails to roll, then it rolls critical strike. Highlords definitely improves ur odds of getting double damage cos u get to roll 2 times before a hit is registered.

Hey Joni, is 99fhr not needed anymore? I am getting some conflicting advice
Hi Brian, from my personal experience of d2r pvp as of yet, fhr is almost useless. I'm not reaching the 99bp with dudu or 86 with nec.

no max block setup? only relying on damage reduction?
Nop, nec never rly needed max block in general for pvp. Always rely on golem, oak and bone armor to tank hits for u and vs ele dudu, the mentality is, don't get hit :p
Definitely prefer shadows on all my necros for the huge dex and fat fhr.
