Need a really really specific build

[yes.interesting]

Hey guys,

First off (just to get this out of the way), I've read most of the char guides already.

I mostly play an FOHer but that's not my question

I seem to have a lot of trouble dueling against wind druids w/ minions and summoning necros

I need a guide for any character that can easily take out a character that FOH cannot. Does anyone know a guide like this?

[Silver Ice]

wind druids die like mad against a tweaker barb. just use ww and enigma with high resistances to tele and kill.

i havent really dueled summoners much but i suppose they die from a telsadin since the holy shock aura would probly kill all the summons.

[TuNa-FisH_SuShI]

summon necros are tough cookies to crack but druids are fairly simple javazon easily owns druid one lightning fury and all their summons die 2 charged strikes and their ele sheild and half their life is gone..
for summon necros i reccommend bliz sorc one bliz can easily take out 10-15 of their minions if well placed

[yes.interesting]

Wow!!!! thanks... I already have a blizz sorc made, but I never knew she could take out summoners! I'll have to check up on that tweaker barb. However, I don't really like playing barbs b/c i need 3/20/20s and 290s and so forth which can get pretty expensive and they poof!


TY tunafish, you've helped me lots of times at my stay at d2sector

I got a godly summoner necro at level 89, and i can tell you that the only thing they have trubble with is a hurricane/tornado druide with enigma. Minions can be frozen and that forces me to youse bone spirits wich aint a really strong attack.

About windy druides with enigma and spirit wolfes. They normaly think they cyclone armor takes out the resist since it works as if you had 0% resist al the time. But it only takes awas fire/cold/lightninf damage. Not poison damage. A Enigma poison nova necro can easely come in the field and take away theese druides. Thats my best advice.

[yes.interesting]

is there any character than can take out both? I think that tweaker barb can... I've checked the barb forums, but can't find the tweaker barb. Anyone got a link?

[A|fzZz]

No idea whats a tweaker barb..

But imo...melee>ele..
WW owns all...Ele can easily be absorbed....95res=gg

[yes.interesting]

hurricane = cold damge
twister = physical damage

Am I correct? So if I make a "tweaker" barb (wherever I can find a guide), I should try to achieve max DR first (since twister is usually what kills) and then max cold resist/absorb. Am I correct in saying this?

[Keitaro]

The Nova poison necro can easy kill summonings of a necromancer too. Summonings cannot have more than 71% resist, unless the build is really wrong skilled. In that case, it will be even more easy.

I dont know what a tweaker barbar is, but i do know that the best windy druides got 50% damage reduce and also got around 60% block. They never move around, so their blocking never goes below it. If you gonna use a WW barbar to take them out, be sure that you got tons of life. 4K+.

There is one more easy way to fight windy druides, and that is with using magic attacks. Magic damage cannot be resisted, so its the ultimate attack to use against them. Suggestion is a Glitzed Bone necromancer with bone spear or a Hammer paladin with blessed hammer. Druides ussually dies fast when they meet those.

I hope this helped you, because i cannot see any better thing to use right now.

[A|fzZz]

Hammer will do better against wind druids than boners....By the time they search the druids name to cast spear...nec=owned

I find melee is the best to kill a druid...Though ure just beside druid and 99-100% the tornados will hit u....But they will never get more than 4 out...

[yes.interesting]

so barb or hammer vs Druid AND summoner? If barb = better, where can I get such a "tweaker" barb guide?

[A|fzZz]

No idea whats a tweaker barb...But a beast/botd ww barb is cool

[Silver Ice]

[Keitaro]

Sounds like a normal WW build. :S Never guessed that was a tweaker build.

[MadCowBoy]

Actually someone said tweaker is warcry barb

[Silver Ice]

Sounds like a normal WW build. :S Never guessed that was a tweaker build.

tweakers were meant in 09 to kill casters too as barbs, making them different by having resistances. and no a tweaker isnt a wc barb, that person is just stupid.

[yes.interesting]

hehe... so a "tweaker" barb isn't really a specific barb build, it just means a tweaked barb tweaked to kill a ceratin type of build. i see.

[Silver Ice]

actually it isnt very tweaked... sure u can switch verd for tgods against trappers but its mostly for killing casters+ some weak meleers.

[Fishee]

Yea ithink ihave herd of that abrb build a long time ago.... i might have even tried it... i dunno so long ago ....

[Gothic-x]

i never knew what a tweaker was, but thats the exact build i just used for my new pvp barb. except i use draculs and bug belt.
