Great work! Very very entertaining, love the commentary and especially the screen sharing which imo is a game changer for d2 duel entertainment. Also all the versus screen are great. Maybe you could have someone else to record other players screen and make use those in instant replays and ko of the night -type of things. Lastly I personally like the ruleset very much. -rah
See, that's what I thought originally, too. But those nados hit HARD. Can rip through bone armor before the animation is even done with. It's a fun matchup to watch though
I feel like Doombringer definitely deserved the W, he was juggling so many different skills and had to time his sync in to stunlock perfectly, not to take away from Lilith cause he played great.
Never thought id be this interested in d2 pvp. U make good vids tho nice commenting. Learning a lot so far. Sureimsure was good at wsg out of pembl mindblast. Awesome stuff man. Kick trap has always been my go to, hope to skill up soon and join in!
Hey Coooley, who's been using either a ghost or hybrid sin in dfc?? dook?? you remember the name of his sin by any chance? i suck with my sin, tryna do some research LOL!!
Kicksin can be cool, his build focus on strong venom from dw + open wounds. Vs palas and barbs and such he will most likely use a widow maker um and switchbug venom dmg boost from dw. Another way of building a strong 102fcr kicker is dual claw one, but you need 1 special item to make it really strong: 5ctc amp/fool's/30-40ias/2soc with dual ber claw. It can be hybridized with every other build. Add upped gores, 2 x fcr rings, preferable valk 08, arach, trangs(wiz if available) 2/15+ ammu. The high ar and fast attack speed triggers amp excellent. Crushing blow is affected by dr% and becomes extreamly effective. My asgard version tanked some bvc without the use of trap (just for fun). It was a pure Trapsin with lvl 1 dtalon and lvl 1 venom. Just this claw and upped gores as kick dmg. Ofc fcr rings and such was ar based. So as a Trapsin you can with such claw kill 75% of an enemy bvc on a kickserie of 3 kicks if a lucky strike, and having about 25-28k ar while doing so ^^
ayy gel87 whats good :) yup. ow and venom damage here. swear by it still. and yes very much I use widowmaker vs pallies and barbs. I also have dual claw 102fcr. check out my duel vs maty to see it in action. btw I'm real skeptical of a c/c kicksin doing much of anything to a bvc lolol. but I'd love to see a video if you have success with that. same with the amp claw. it's cute and all, but I'd rather get in and out and bleed them with consistency rather than trying to commit to melee trying to cb them with amp. I'd love to see your sin in action tho. get OBS working
@@nycmaxim689 yes ill try, been stuck in the North sea the last weeks on work, i got d2 on a computer here, but its been to much work yo have any time xD 12+4 hour days.
Hey Cooley. Old times Diablo II Ladder player here. Love your content. Can you please explain the weird runeword? says "Chains of honour" but looks like a Fort + COH combined and you call it "Fort of Chains". How is that done? Thank you
Hey man! I did a video about this (when I first started so the quality isn't as good haha). But it's called History of Hybrids. I break it down there in detail.
I had a pvp kicker. Was my favorite character because it would poop on the hdin bots in pubs. 125 fcr, 86 fhr, Max DR, max block, max resists all with burst of speed active. The kicker was doing a lot wrong.
kicksin here. you have your fcr bp wrong sir. sin uses 102fcr not 125. I was using 102fcr/86fhr/max dr/maxblock/max resists/burst of speed. what was I doing wrong lol?
Been a minute, you're right. Mine was 65 fcr at all times, usually used a wizzy for 102. Try trap gcs and use WoF. It'll get over 1k. It's mainly for stunning, but the damage still is high enough to force gear swaps. It will still dmg against hspurs and etc. When you put points into WoF, it has a hidden attribute that increases the distance work will travel. It'll go about 2 screens or more. It follows them when they wsg away. It hits every 4 frames iirc with next delay. Mindblast will cause that to stun, which fhr locks them. Also one shots the pets against a druid. If you kick them while they're locked, you can fbr lock them as most people don't build for fbr. I tried all the weapons, and there are a lot of good options. Dweb sounds good, but a carrion wisp beats it. Kicks use the range of the weapon equipped as well, so a wand will give you 1. Forces you to get closer than needed. I would have used a lacerator against a windy tbh. Doomz is another amazing option which is a whole other thing in itself. Gm unless it's vs a zon, has range 3, lowers fhr and (I think) fbr, volcanos 🌋. Those traps hitting every 4 frames work wonders when holy freeze catches them. Also had a custom 6os zerker with 4 um runes and some jewels. 100% open wounds, range 3, would do amazing at longer duels. Widowmaker is a fun option as well, surprisingly effective. Phoenix shield is a stupid strong damage shield. In any matchup where you don't have to worry about dr or blocking, use it. Wizzy and Phoenix wrecks casters. Think necromancer or hdin or fire sorc. If you use a lacerator and Phoenix, they're dead. A chaos claw was also handy. I used claw/shield. Ww is uninterruptable and has uses in a few matchups. Also, going against a ww sin with your claw/shield/burstofspeed was a fun matchup. Usually the pure ww sin would win, but you still do dmg and hold up well. I beat a few. I can send you a build, but I used this character regularly in bm pubs. Made it a habit of forcing the hdin bots to autoexit and was fully loaded stash wise to handle all matchups. Used this character over my other pvp chars, had quite a lot invested into the gear. Had 2 actually, light traps and fire traps. Fire was vastly superior. Shadow gcs don't give as much as traps do. Also kick is weird, you want either 4 or 5 kicks, that's it. Never more. I tried 3 at one point but felt bad. 5 was my magic number. If you have too many kicks, it locks you in one spot for too long.
Oh and if you're stunning with light traps, the charged bolt sentries fhr lock like nuts with mindblast. Also, shadow warrior only uses abilities you have on your left/right. You can abuse that ai and have it aimbot cast things for you.
I don't disagree with a lot of this lol. I opted to test with death's web first duel because I was running shadow disc gcs at that time, and as you can see my opponent got heavily damaged by it. you are right it can be negated rather easy, then I would have switched to something else. so I don't think there is anything "wrong" with me using it lol at the time my Fleshripper wasn't allowed by DFC rules. and Doom is also not allowed by most rulesets sadly. but I have both weapons in my stash. I would have likely switched to a Chaos claw for the duel if Death's Web was negated. I try to avoid using 65fcr at all costs because 102 is so much better, and I can get 102 without needing my weapon slots. I do have a wizardspike in the stash but only use it for res stack or if I need to drop other fcr items for a matchup. so many fun weapons, but pvp sins are limited by their stash size, so I have to pick what I switch off every now and then. I switch between full trap gcs and full shadow gcs but that takes muleing. I also respec somewhat often for fun, last month I was using LS/kick/bow, this month I'm playing wof/kick/bow. both have their advantages in different matchups and their own shortcomings. I tend to gravitate towards the conclusion that LS works better for most matchups, and shadow gcs are usually better than trap gcs. but I like all assassin variants and enjoy mixing it up. I ran a different setup in just about every DFC video I'm in btw.
the aa mindblast is the reason to use shadow master. warrior only uses skills on left/right click. master casts mindblast on opponent's while you trap and teleport on them. it's ai can be manipulated to cast mindblast like crazy by maxing mindblast.
I remember a badass sin kicker dueler back in the day, the name was like FootFungus or something lol
Coooley you should do more videos about MLD, LLD.. Always dueled high levels and I love seeing what people come up with..
Love your vids!
Watched the vod from your twitch a couple days ago. Rewatching again here lol.
Hope it's just as enjoyable the second time!

Can't tell ya how much I appreciate hearing this. Thanks for this feedback, man!
25:41 how are these amulets even possible? someone enlighten me with d2 knowledge plz
Dweb on kicker is a nice touch indeed... unique
PS*** OHSNAP ! Divinity with that stun firetrap combo was a HIGHLIGHT of the night. very gg style
This is premium d2 Entertainment! You guys rock
I think Necro vs Druid the necro has the upper hand on bone armor in a big way.
See, that's what I thought originally, too. But those nados hit HARD. Can rip through bone armor before the animation is even done with. It's a fun matchup to watch though
I feel like Doombringer definitely deserved the W, he was juggling so many different skills and had to time his sync in to stunlock perfectly, not to take away from Lilith cause he played great.
doombringer is lilith
ahh man im screaming in my house lol!!! wsm with the quick switch up of gear and method to take out the es blizz sorc. maaaaaaaaaaan this is crazy.

How can i find the build of the amazon?
So excited to see this episode
Amazon should have 150 frw vs assasins.
100frw looked like it did alright :P
its 165 to desync from running with no wsg
i miss the old intro, am i the only one? xD
The ones where I talk a lot? Haha duly noted!
@@Coooley no no the ISLAND VIBEZZZZZ MAHN one
@@Coooley Yeah, and background music, use them sometime in one video, to remember "how this started" xD
NJ broadcasting 👌
Cooley's announcer skills taking after Joe Rogan
I'll take that as a compliment! Haha
Of course. If Joe is good at anything, it's making an event exciting
Yes they can lol
LLD best duels
Swordsback's hold is useless imo, since OW works at 50% with ranged attacks.. Not worth it over SS or sanctuary :)
Too much str investment?
Fighting a bowzon without MB is suicide
how do i get in on this? id destroy all these guys.
