funny dueling stories

Id be lying if i said i wasn't a n()()b.

One story I had recently was when I was killing cows with my 800 mf sorc and was owning all the cows before everyone else could even hit them they like all got pissed of and decided to duel me. So, I went along with it and owned all of them except one zon who had bcon, bvalor, etc and she didn't ever kill me just took my life down with poison so I went to town and said hey you win. So, I left the game and they all whispered me saying "haha u newb i owned your stupid noob ass" and I was like what the hell, do only 9 year olds play Diablo 2 anymore. Guess it's not a funny story just pisses me off how people can think anything with dueling in softcore has anything to do with how good a person is.

of course items matters... items matters the most in duels where both players use melee skills like zeal or fury coz u only use 1 skill and just have to press ur mousebutton and hold it u dont need any skill for doing that

backstepping/shift attacking
timing
positioning summons
attacking their summons
cycling auras



Dueling is comprised of
1/5th Experience/Knowledge
1/5th Reflexes/Focus/Skill
1/5th Gear/Charms/Weapons
1/5th PCperformance/Latency
1/5th Luck

ur right i was wrong

that's the patronizing crap i love to hear

its more like all of that but some things overcompensate

for example if you have really amazing ping like, 20 ()
you can use pretty bad gear not have reflexs and no knowledge

and it can work same for any of those attributes really..

i was referring to this

Dueling = skill, not items.. get that into your fucking newb heads.
