Finally back into D2, need help on character.
 

I got my Widowmaker now, so I needed to come up with a build for it. I have an interesting idea...

Hammerdin / Widowmaker+Fanaticism on switch

Has anyone ever heard of such a thing and do you think it can possibly be a good build?

If you are a for fun team dueler, then its fine.

But if not, going to town to get your CTA , coming out and boing, and switching back is going to be SO fucking gay.

Unless you meant use it as your main wep. In which case the build will fail cause of no block.

Well what should I build? I want to use my widowmaker but I don't wanna be another BM assassin with gank poison damage...

Bowasorc. Could also shoot for a convic merc too. Massive fire dmg + high ar from enchant + convic = ouchey

Ya that would pwn, I'm gonna try that out man.

BOWSORC!!!!!! I have one and they are fuuunnnn, and can do goood dmg. Max enchant, warmth, telekenisis, and energy shield or something liek that, im taking a final right now but when i get back to my computer Ill let you know the spec.'s i used to have one before this one that pwn niccuh's no joke.

Keep in mind that mercing in duels may get you BM'd. especially if you are dueling someone whos anything remotely like me..

And be sure to have a good block shield on switch. Fuck the 1 extra skill your lidless would provide, you need the block for when a paladin deciedes to charge you or a barb feels like wwing you.

Storm shield?

Stormshield is great for Dr but it has a HIGH strength rating at at lvl 90 on a sorc requires some 220 dext. Warped, whos my max DR max block sorc, ends up with 1450 life and 900 mana with her own bo. Fun character to play still. The DR makes up somewhat for the lack of health. Potting with energy shield is good too ;)

Best bet is probably Whistans shield ( http://www.battle.net/diablo2exp/ite...ml#orphanscall ) with an ITH rune if you have enough mana (15% dmg goes to mana) or an ELD rune for a slightly better chance of % on the shield. You probably wont need a lot of dext with this item to hit a decent block.

Oh I got with the evasive manuvers, i got that staff that gives 4 to all skills and like 45& fcr or something but the defensive strat sounds good as well if not better.

heh iv made a fun dueler with a pally and a widow maker heh i maxed holy freeze and synergies with soem gcs and the guided arrows i used to piss people off soo bad

Summoner druids are the most pro chars to annoy someone with.

Nothing you can do about a guy who just recasts in town. I love it.

OMG! SOFUCKING ANNOyING!
And ALL they do is talk shit the WHOLE FUCKING TIME!

omg, with widowmaker, just get dream helm, and as the guy said earlier, make a fire sorc, now, with this build, max light mastery, fire mastery, enchant, and warmth, your bow dmg will be about 8k, maybe even more, idk now cuz of changes to gear, but last season on ladder, my bowsorc did close to 9k with all p. gear, and it was cheap too, only bout 6 hr's now.
