Best 2v2 Combo

[Loits]

I haven't been to a pub for a long time now, i do a couple of gm tvts a day aswell as quite a few gm 1v1s.

[crtknight08]

i think that a barb with 45+ bo, and max resis with any other good char would be a great combo. The bard could tank for the other char. for example:

Barb//Light Sorc
Barb//Trap Sin
Barb//Hammer

Godly would be:
Barb///Smiter

Rofl a barb with lvl 45+ bo is a discrase to pvp barbs.

Ok then me and a friend wanna duel you. Im the 45+BO barb and he has a zealer. My accounts are in Sig messenge me sometime.

Unfortunately, we're not on your realm, but I wish I was. Unless you know what you're talking about, please don't post.

I guess i did.. but who gm duels in pubs now a days, when you bm those two do make a pretty good team, sorb for casters and beyond that they both can ease pretty much anything if there was a zon like that all the nec would need to do is decrep, and then the barb have two dooms on = gg ezpk cry zon k thanx BUT if all else fails in that situation and that does not work which it should, the nec can get stacked summons and the zon would not hit once with her arrows.

when i dueled, pub or not, i ALWAYS did gm duels. if someone was bming, i would grab my fire sorc, own their ass, and then corpse tank the shit out of them till they learned their lesson.

i've never really 2v2 dueled so i could be way off, but IMO fire sorc and wind druid are the top 2 1v1'ers, so they would probably make a pretty good 2v2 combo.

lvl 45 bo barb + a zealer, that's a gg pvp combo right there.

If you yourself gm in duels then other people will aswell, there is no need for bm dools. Leave sorbing+juving for noobs.

oh really?

[In[F]ec[T]eD]

just thought id make it more obvious for the retard ^__^

[Kyle Destroyer]

Ok, I have no idea what gm is, but i have a good team combo. (don't laugh)

Skelemancer with decked out merc (the merc is all that matters for necro but with all the skeles then the merc can't be killed easily) He doesn't really need that great of gear, just an assload of auras.

Necros merc items (dream, dragon, pride or infinity depending on other team mate)
not too cheap for non ladder though

This guy will be good with these chars.

Charger that can protect the necro while they are being drained or life and kill the high res chars. Plus he can add a new aura for the skeles as well.

Windy druid that will kick some caster ass while the necro protects his precious merc

Barb with high BO, that can tank.

Any suggestions or should I be called a noob?

[In[F]ec[T]eD]

im pretty sure theyre talking about a gm team combo and a skelemancer with a merc is far from gm >_<

[Kyle Destroyer]

Ok, I have no idea what gm is

Sorry about that, anyone care to explain?

[Bloodangel26]

gm=good manners. aka no cheap shit.

[Warslut]

Poison Nova necro and mutli shot amazon hands down. Even though it's incredibly lame.

[Loits]

It sounds ok but quite few chars can tank the poison and multi shot, for example paladins and barbarias. Curses are bm so you'll be going up against 75% resi and on some rare occasion you'll find a smiter with death set gloves, he'll be able to take you out 1v2.

Edit: I still like my foh/mage + trapper combo although stacked resi + tg > me.

[DeathRow]

Curses are bm

I dont know if its just me, but this 'bm', 'gm' stuff is stupid.
If your a necromancer for example... You should be aloud curses?
It wouldnt make sense not to be aloud to use curses, its part of the game.

Am i wrong?

If your not aloud curses like lower resist, you shouldnt be aloud auras, like conviction.

[Loits]

How about we use mass sorb against sorcs jsut because it's in the game, wouldn't that be great now? We'll be all so skilled after sorbing a fire soso so that he'll heal us. Diablo 2 pvp is very unbalanced that's why people have created common sense rules for duelling.

Just so that we are clearer on what is bm and gm i'll give an example of a set of rules, these tend to vary from realm to realm though. I like these ones, i've ripped them form d2jsp european pvp subforum.

whats 'Dodge limit is 3 days' mean?

[Loits]

If something doesn't make sense then just ignore, those rules are for a league.
