why max bone armor? only absorbs 210 dmg...

[Eddie_Perez]

Hmmm

[DragonDPT]

according to arreat summit website, no.

[`Insolence`]

its dmg not % and mine obsorbs that much at like lvl 5 lol (nice + skills :))

[DragonDPT]

so is it worth it to max it out?

[DragonDPT]

anyone???????

[Apoq]

yes it is, you can recast it on the right skill in less than a second

and even if you do 100000000 damage in One hit, it will only make the shield dissappear, so it takes as much damage as you can do in a single hit, making melee work alot harder to take your hp down >.< because 210 isn't alot : /

["CRØNîC-KîLLå"]

it's worth it because their are no other useful skills to max for pvp...

[DragonDPT]

poison nova...

[Eddie_Perez]

that would work if there were no such thing as hacked items.... but it is quite useless with max pd resist

[Apoq]

poison damage isn't 1/4 by pvp reduction so even with maxed poison resist's poison does quite a bit of damage, even with all

with a 400 poison nova damage,not including -length%, it will basically do 200 damage no matter what

BoneSpirit is one of the best necro skills because it is affected by fcr, can't be reduced or resisted (very well anyway...)
and it homes in on opponents, but back on topic

Yes. Maxing Bone Shield _IS_ a good idea.

[`Insolence`]

yeah my pal owns most sorcs with psn nova, they tp right into it, just run dodge pull up walls.

But i do beleive recasting bone armor is one of the gayest ways a necro owns most amas/barbs/pallys

[DragonDPT]

sux4u... :killgrin:

[Apoq]

'sorcs' we're talking about necros here.

its not 'gayest' its not even gay, its a nice way of reducing a little bit of the damage you take

[`Insolence`]

1 hit recast 1 hit recast 1 hit recast 1 hit recast 1 hit recast...

thats like if a sorcs eng shield took one hit, than it poofed just like this, than was recasted, than she could take another hit, thereby almost making meele pointless vs them.

i think recasting of any protection spell outside of town should be forbidden, except when it has a timer.

[Titusfied]

Well, when the Protection Spell has limits, I think that is the exception.

I just can't believe someone thinks that a Necro can be cheap in a duel. Only until recently, everyone has been bashing Blizzard for not making Necros more versatille in PvP, but now that it has been found that they can be affective and people jumped on the bandwagon, they are getting called cheap for something.... Sounds like hypocracy to me.

[Apoq]

insolence? in the second it takes for them to cast it, you can catch up to them and kill them, its their choice

[`Insolence`]

its called decripcify.. i think a second to cast it if your quick, and a barb ww wont even kill me one hit with dr gear on, like 2-3.. i think making it unfair, infinite ba + decrip.

[undeadzombieguy]

barb can always use berserk....
no defense against that except for blocking

[dirkdig]

with 75 DR (shako + storm + shaft) the bone armor only takes 1/4 damage... so it really absorbs more like 840 damage, my 1200 life nec has lived thru 3 whirls from an ith barb with 5k ww dmg, and I only have 45% block...

[Apoq]

5k isn't that awesome for a non-legit

but, point is insolence

it is fair, its not unbalanced.

[Valmar]

it is fair, its not unbalanced.

As is the word my friend. As far as necros and PvP go i would have to say that a necro is more of an efficient killer then most of the other classes simply because they have multiple moves that are devistating to each class. Bonespirit cant be nullifyed by regular resistances, only by magic resistance. Which is only avaliable to a select few items, mainly crafted. I forgot which has it though.

Sorc may be semi-strong but they lack in versatility, a paladin with sence can own ANY sorc. Also any char with 2 con rings will annaliate the sorc. As far as zons go, they are just cheap, especially burizaons.

When blizzard finally decides to pull 1.1 out of there ass maybe they will have made a select few changes to some of the classes in order to make the game of PvP a little more even/fair/fun. That is all i have to say about this particular topic.

[Apoq]

con rings? thats not legit pvp

yes i'd say my sorc is very good, but a good 2.4khp+/95 lr paladin with bh/foh can be tough and smite drains your mana fast and they can charge and ouch : /

[`Insolence`]

man my pal gets owned by sorcies =\.. but i quit pvp for a while, heh :D

[Valmar]

Pally..... owned... by sorcy..???? that isnt possible... is it??

[DragonDPT]

any character can get owned by any character... just depends on skill/items
