Diablo 2 v1.12 Strategy Guide - Part 2: Player vs Player (一)
Introduction

This Player vs Player guide is written for public play at the non ladder mode and is a great introduction to PvP in general. The reason why we have deviced it for non ladder is simply because that is where most of the PvP takes place. That is where you find all the tournaments, prices and prestige. We will not occupy ourselves with whether items are legit or not in this article because that is irrelevant for public PvP. Chances are that the small number of people who are into legit PvP already know what they need to know.

</a>General Tips

</a>Flexibility

Flexibility is everything in PvP. This is reflected in your choice of skills and items. Most builds you will see in this article are hybrids that use a very diverse set of skills. Flexibility between ranged and melee play is probably the single most important thing. Another flexibility issue is whether to boost the inherent power of your character or sacrificing some of that power for higher absorb and resistances, all depending on which kind of opponent you face. Seeing as you are guaranteed to face all kinds of opponents you will need a large selection of items at your disposal with emphasis on socketables, charms and rings/amulets. When you are up against opponents based on physical damage you should look at damage reduction (Ber) and faster block rate (Shael), while resistances (Um) and life (Jah) are preferable when figthing opponents based on elemental/poison damage. If your opponent does both kinds of damages you must compromise. There is also the matter of style and the most skilled players base their builds on dodging the opponents attacks and thus they can optimize their build for dealing as much damage as possible per time unit.

In this guide you will find general recommendations for equipments. Seeing as PvP is a very complex world, these recommendations will not fit every possible situation. You will have to push the margins yourself to whatever ends that you desire. To your help there are data tables for various break points included in a later chapter.


</a>Stats

You want to maximize your Vitality because anything less than 'as much life as possible' is not good enough if you want to make a name for yourself. Strength is only for equipping items, putting stat points on energy is only for Sorceress with Energy Shield and putting points into dexterity normally only serves the purpose of maximum block 75% with shield. Seeing as you seek maximum life you must look for stats in items. You will need life from your skill charms and small charms if you are going to win a single duel and the more life the better. Maximum life for a skill charm is 45 and maximum for a small charm is 20. However, anything above 30 life for a skill charm and 18 for a small charm will do the job. Strength, Dexterity and Mana are also necessary to get from items because that means you can spend more stat points on vitality.


</a>Maximum Chance To Block

The maximum chance to block with a shield is 75%. To reach this figure you need to spend stat points on dexterity. How much dexterity you need for maximum chance to block is decided by your character class, character level and the shield itself. The Paladin class requires the least dexerity, both due to its basic shield ability and the skill Holy Shield. To see your character's chance to block you need to open the character screen (c) and move the cursor unto the defense section. The screenshot below shows where you can see your character's chance to block with its current equipment:




</a>Annihilus, Hellfire Torch, Call To Arms & Spirit

There are four basic components in this game that all builds need; namely the small unique charm Annihilus, the large unique charm Hellfire Torch and the runewords Call To Arms and Spirit. Annihilus and Hellfire Torch are extremely important sources of resistance, stats and skills while Call To Arms in combination with Spirit in a shield just about doubles your life/mana/stamina through Battle Command and Battle Orders. Seeing as this is such a basic part of playing Diablo 2 I will not mention it in the strategy section for each build. The procedure is very simple:

Before you engage your opponent you swap to Call To Arms and Spirit, then cast Battle Command followed by Battle Orders and finish by swapping back to your primary weapon/shield.


</a>Mercenaries

Traditionally, mercenaries have not been considered essential in PvP. However, a number of new runewords from last Ladder season have changed the importance of mercenaries in PvP quite a bit. These new alternatives will be presented as well as their traditional counter parts.

Those who do physical damage should use:

Act 2 Might Merc (Offensive on Nightmare difficulty): Pride Cryptic Axe as weapon, Bramble Archon Plate as body armor and Crown of Ages as helm socketed with 2 x Ber rune

Alternatively,

</a>Act 2 Might merc (Offensive on Nightmare difficulty): Breath of the Dying War Pike as weapon, Fortitude Archon Plate as body armor and Crown of Ages as helm socketed with 2 x 40/15ias jewels.

Those based on elemental or poison damage should use;



Act 2 Holy Freeze Merc (Defensive on Nightmare Difficulty): Infinity Cryptic Axe as weapon, Bramble Archon Plate as armor and Dream Bone Visage as helm.

Alternatively;

Act 1 Rogue: Windforce as weapon, 160/60ias gemmed armor and 120/45ias gemmed helm.

</a>Data Tables

Increased Attack Speed (IAS), Faster Block Rate (FBR), Faster Hit Recovery (FHR), Faster Cast Rate (FCR) and Faster Run/Walk (FRW) are all very important in PvP and in order to optimize these values you must know the break points. There is no guarantee that an addition of 5 % will actually make your character recover faster/cast faster/block faster. The scales have very low resolution and you will need exponentially increasing amounts of % to reach the next point where your character is affected. The tables below will show how this works in detail. The data is to a large extent character class and item dependent.
