You are an idiot. I seem to gather that you are not aware of the fact that Diablo is an imbalanced game? Are you not aware of the fact that not every class is equal? Well, it's the same in PvP. Use Hotspurs, Rising Sun with 2x Dwarf Star and no Fire sorc can do damage to you, they heal you instead. Is that what you see as legit dueling? You can go afk and take a shit and the sorc still won't be able to do any damage to you. Way to show your skills off.

If you are a noob and want to go BM, yes barb is probably one of the best classes for 1v1, but he is not half as good in tvts.

Of course, if you are a bvc, you will get raped by any bvb as well. If you are bvb you will get raped by any caster.

Following on your vitality arguement, why aren't ES sorcs the best class? As far as I am concerned, each point in mana gives them around that much mana, and they also have vitality.

My advice to you is to go and actually do some PvP besided your regular Baaling and then come and post in here once you know something.

a pvp poll is not ultimate without the option of a Smiter

Why? Pure Smiters are weak in PvP.

edit: But I have to admit that Auradins should be in there.

just like we all knew frater would vote wind druid, we all know i voted fire sorc. the only char on that list that my sorc hasnt owned 2 out of every 3 or 3 out of every 3 is wind druid. and thats at least partly because i still havent fought one. there was one in my duel tourney but sadly he lost early.

FoH is the only character that has killed me even once when i was seriously dueling and thats at least partly because i had 3k+ ping at the time.

bowazons and orbers are the only other chars to even hit me. they came close to killing me but couldnt quite pull it off. this also might have been cause i had 2k+ping.

i also fought a barb with 95 fire resists and 40 fire sorb once...but we wont count that.

and btw, why do we need 30 threads on pvp? theres so many of them lately...and like half of them are centered around sorcs, more specifically fire vs lite

I voted Wind Druid because there was no ww/trap hybrid option ~~

ww sin

back in 1.10 i use to play with a ***ly ww sin who use he common wake of fire traps etc...

she pwned everyone fohers etc.. she just had to stack sorb when she needed to but by far the craziest ive seen

had to stack=newb bm

200fcr fire sorcs are very ***ly, but just doesnt cut it due to sorbing. wind druids on the other hand are very good because tornados cant be blocked or resist, and windies can pretty much kill every class

and barbs just rape every class, with good builds. ive seen duels, and if anyone here met dynafrom's (banned from blizzsector) old barb, he practically owned the east server

sorbing is BM. so if you are playing a GM game, fb sorcs do "cut it". personally i dont play BM games, so my fb sorc does fine.

i guarantee my fb sorc will beat ANY barb that is GM. if you dont have 95 fire resists and 25+ sorb, my sorc will eat you for lunch. i once went against a barb with 95 resists and like 30 sorb....i would have killed it eventually but it was taking forever so i gave up. plus i had like 3k ping at the time so he was actually able to catch me.

lol, u cant beat sorbing, u wont do any damage to them with stacked res

thats why its BM and only used by complete newbs...duh? and i still do damage...just not much.

Was that with me on Pant's barb?
And yes, good fire sorces almost always win duels against GM chars.

yea that was you on pant's barb

Thought so, That was a good duel though since we both lagged terribly.

if you can call any duel with a total BM char good, then yes it was

K, then it was indeed a good duel.

So foh is bm because it is cheap? Hammers are cheap, let's just say they are bm too.

Cheap, as in they require almost no skill whatsoever. Imagine a sorc that had massive Thunderstorm damage and tried to kill you with that. FoHs are banned from many GM leagues for a reason.

FoH has built in auto-aim. when i fought digi on his FoHer in my duel tourney, he was hitting me from 5 screens away. decide for yourself if thats BM or not...

hammers arent BM cause they are so easy to beat. unless you are melee or a wind druid you should never lose to a hammerdin.

your not much of a wind druid if you lose to a hammerdin tho :/
